    Is a mag body itself under pressure, or is it all in the valve / bolt / barrel.

    I'm kinda curious about something with the mag bodies. I was basically wondering, are the bodies themselves under pressure at any time, or is all the pressure / air in the valve / bolt and from the bolt straight into the barrel? If it was under pressure, how much psi would it be? Thanks.

    If you mean air pressure, no. Nothing in the body is expected to seal.

    That said, there is a good amount of pressure on the body from the main spring and bolt.

        ...if we all promise not to steal your idea, will you post it? I only ask because people here have done just about everything to an Automag that can be done to an Automag, and you might want to check to be sure whatever it is you're doing won't ruin your marker or body.
