Tac-1 final tune up

[finnmanpa]

I have 4 or 5 shims in the gun so I could even get it working.When I got it new it was bolt sticking like crazy, I would have to push the bolt back manually and or degass the asa and re gas it for it to reset.Could this be causing my extremely fast air usage rate?

I watched the level 10 tuning vid on youtube.com
Im pretty sure it is properly tuned, I thought there was a problem with it, sent it to Tunaman and he said he didnt see any problem with it.Im using the largest carrier that doesnt leak, the next bigger one leaks profusely down the barrel.Also the number of shims I have is jussstttt enough to get it to not have bolt stick.I tried it at 0, bolt stick, 1, bolt stick, 2, bolt stick and so on till 4, and then it fired consistantly, locking up only every 200-300 shots if that.

Ive never had the problem youve described.

Could it also be that my HPA tank is new and only been filled 4 ish times? Could still need breaking in?

Well it certainly isn't a lack of proper troubleshooting that is causing your bad air efficiency. Good for you, the more you troubleshoot, the more you'll understand your Mag.

I use a 45/45 tank, the red spring, the 1.5 carrier, and I get at least 850 shots from my Mag. Fine with me as it shoots my hopper and 4 the extra pods on my Tac-Vest. After that I go back for reload and top-off. I probably get more but have never just sat around with a full tank and emptied loaders of paint till I ran out of air. My buddy uses a 68/4500 and he gets at least 1000, as he carries that much and can shoot it all. Same with him, he probably gets more, but hasn't tried it to see his max shot capacity.

Make sure everything is oiled and clean.

How new is your set-up? What valve did you have again?

Tac One ( Lvl X )

I believe I am also using the 1.5 or 2 carrier.

Im going to sit down for a while and write down my numbers at the chrono, and calculate how many shots per tank im getting and all.Next saturday.

Thanks for all your help Finnman

Thanks for the advice. Next time I get air I'll mess with the velocity. I know I definately have the right carrier size and number of shims in my lv10.
