    The Xvalve does need to break in some thus the inconsistency.
    Automags generally quit after your tank gets down to about 800 psi.
    As a general rule of thumb they need 800 to operate.
    If your tank is filled to 4500 you should probably get 700 or so give or take.
    Figure a hopper and 4 pods.

      I agree with everything you said going home except the 700 shots from a 90/45 I know I fired almost 3 bags out of my 88/45 and I can get though a case with 2 68/45s no problem.

      I always found the 15xci (4500psi) rule is a bit on the safe side.

          Ok after playing with my marker I saw much better consistency, I do need to shim up my ULT because it was installed for me when I purchased it can someone explain how I am to remove the on/ off bottom. Do I just slid a screw driver underneath or is it threaded?

            Glad you had a good time with it. It is a rare occasion to see a mag being used much anymore. It is amazing the interest they generate.

              Glad to hear you picked one up. Yep, the break in period will only last a case or two of pain. Then you'll be good to go.

              P.A. Oil the hell out of it.

                When separating the top and bottom of the ULT, pull apart gently and unscrew the top from the bottom. It's threaded, but it's made to float on the shims after it gets past the threads. It's kind of like a child proof cap.

                    just fill up your tank and then dry fire it empty. then fill up and you should be fairly good to go.

                    as far as consistency, how are you chrono'ing the gun? its not like other guns, and will give you erratic velocities until it is done right


                    as for shots off of your 90/4500, you should easily get 1200 shots on the conservative side. but probably closer to 1500 shots off of that tank.

                      OK so i added another shim to my ULT and now air is leaking out the barrel, does this mean i have reached my max in trigger lightness? or can i remove a shim from the lvl 10 to make up for the one I added in the ULT?

                          did you buy the gun direct from AGD? if so, probably means the LVL 10 is fully broken in. to fix this leak, first try running an ample amount of oil through it. if that does not work. you are probably going to have to replace the carrier o-ring. or go to the next size smaller

                              If it was working before, just try the next smaller carrier. Take the same oring you have in the carrier now and move it to the smaller one. If it had a dot, use the one with the same number of lines, but with no dots. If it had no dots, use the one with one less line and with dots. Dots are half a line (it's not geometry). Put your same shims back in the way they were.

                              Coat the oring with a little oil when you put it in, so that you don't have to blow oil though everything to lube it.
