    pneumag shoot down

    So, I have a pneumag with an classic valve, level 7 bolt, and RT on/off with quad o-ring. This set up let's me shoot pretty fast, but when I do so, I notice that the shots drop off pretty significantly. I am using a WGP LPR turned in about half-way and a PE 45/45 with High Pressure (~850psi).

    Is there anything I can do to prevent drop off, other than plunking down two bills to buy an xvalve?

    Maybe I just need a tank with higher output pressure, like 1000psi, to account for the mag valve and the LPR?

    Or should I just pull the trigger more slowly?

    I would use the standard 2 o-ring set up or a .712 (emag pin) with the quad o-ring. To prevent chuffing in pneumags is:
    1) have at least a .12 to .18 gap between the actuation rod and MSV-2 lever.
    2) make sure your MSV-2 is able to move all the way forward.
    3) make sure your LPR is turned up sufficiently.
    4) make sure there are no kinks in the micro lines

      Like he said. I ran an RT on/off with quad o-ring in my classic and it seemed to work fine. When I pneu'd it something happened that it would take forever (about a second) to recharge. The quad o-ring changes the place where the on/off pin closes. I'd recommend running the standard 2 o-rings, it won't really affect your trigger pull much since you will just have to increase the LPR a bit. Or you could shave off a tiny bit at a time of the RT on/off pin for it to work properly with the quad, but again, I recommend the regular o-rings.

        K, thx guys. I will try putting the teflon o-ring back in there, and buy a e-mag on/off pin if I still get chuffing.

          Using the 2 o-ring set up is the cheapest route. There is no advantage to using/buying a .712 pin in a your set up....

            needs something I think, correction or clarification. [.012 to .018]?
