RT'ing my Minimag

[zondo]

and all of you guys KNOW that you have to run stainless braided lines with these pressures RIGHT? Staying safe is important. Nothing else will do.

What pressures would you consider safe to use macro for?

What pressures would you consider safe to use macro for?

Never over 800psi with generic crap, up to 1250psi with the high-quality stuff you used to be able to get from MacrolineGuy and ARC.

I have found higher input psi, shorter on/off pin (.725 ish) and x o-ring help RT effect. But trigger control is very important. Just a little pressure on the middle of the double trigger if key to start it bouncing.

One thing that may be useful, be sure to chamfer all sharp edges off you on/off pin if you grind it down. It can damage the inner on/off o-ring.

On the reality side: will I ever remember to have such nice trigger control with adrenaline pumping furiously through my body? I haven't yet. Fun effect to play with but I it goes out the window when I mash the trigger.

quad ???

Actually, its the quad that is needed because it has a lower contact point, effectively simulating a longer pin.

whats the quad oring ? whats the difference between the two ?

The quad o-ring is used in the E-mag. They call it a 'quad' because of the x cross section. It creates a smother transition for your on/off pin by trading compression of a regular o-ring for greater surface area. Reduced friction help the RT effect. It also effectively lengthens your on/off pin about .015 inches so compensate for that if your filing your on/off pin or purchasing a new one. It does this because the point the quad o-ring seals is no longer the center as it would be in the traditional o-ring.

Yes, the quad oring has four points of contact, quad referring to 4. The outer diameter has two rings of contact and the inner diameter has two. A standard oring seals at a single ring at the outer and a single ring at the inner surface which is two contact points.

awsome guy's , thanks much 4 the info ...

Make sure you are running the gold spring. 230 is low. I dont think you can get there with the red spring.

R T'ing ...

can the MiniMag/AutoMag valve R T ? or just the X-valve ??

[athomas]

Only the retro valves and the X-valves can be reactive. 68Automag, minimag, and classic valves cannot go reactive.

Yeah, I'm running around 925 psi using the ASP 1000 psi rated macroline. Never had any trouble.

Classic valves need to be modded for RT. I don't recommend.
