    Putting a mag into storage

    Due to work I will unable to use my level 7 mag (or my pre 2k evo cocker) for about couple of years so I will be sticking them into storage.
    Is there anything that I should to to reduce any impact from the storage (e.g. to springs and o rings?)

    Thanks

    Only thing you have to worry about is the oil you use. I had an issue with the agd oil that came with the marker. It jelled up and turned a green color which also did in the orings. All I use now is Tri-Flow.

      I would pull out the bolt spring.

        I also back out the velocity adjuster.

          I own a mag that sat on a workbench in a garage for 5-7 years. I just oiled it and pulled it out to play with no leaks, tweaks, or o-ring replacements. Just give her some oil before you put her down, taking the tension off the springs wouldn't be a bad thing, just make sure to keep everything where it will stay together.

            Same with the one I kept in my fishtank.
