    Building a automag classic need help about hose

    Im building a mag with different parts and i have a question. I want a grip on the front of the gun and I was wondering if I could use any standard gas through foregrip, and just put a bottem line connectiong and a small 4.5 hose and run it into the foregrip. Is that all i would have to do? Or do i then need to run a line to the back of the gun. What size hoses should I use for this? Any other options that you can think of please post. It looks like it can be a paint if i just run a hose from the bottem line to the end of the gun and just stick a normal foregrip on it. Seems the hose would be constantly laying on your hand.

    ANNY HELP WOULD BE GREATFUL THANKS!

      ok, if you want a gas thru foregrip, you can use any gas thru foregrip, but first you need an automag vertical asa that bolts onto the body rail. these are about $10-30 depending on the quality & whatnot. With this setup you would have to run a line from the valve to the vertical asa, then from the bottom of the foregrip to the bottomline below the trigger frame. I always suggest to use macroline, it is easy to take apart & can be cut to exact length needed.

      your other option is to buy a standard automag foregrip, which is not gas thru. this also bolts onto the body rail like the vertical asa, but you run the gas line from the valve to the bottomline below the trigger frame. this is the setup i use, i dont find the hose to be a nuisance at all.

      as for orders, i usually stick with paintballgear.com or 888paintball.com and other big companies. this is all i have ordered from except for extremeragesports.com i just ordered from, but they only have extreme rage products (got myself a new pack & tank cover)

      good luck with your setup, its always fun to build from scratch.

        I just ordered two Crossfire 68/4500 tanks and a PMI Dropforward from Firstcallpaintball.com. I'll be sure to post my thoughts on the transaction.

        I did call them to place the order. I hate Yahoo wallet. The phone saleslady was very friendly and more than helpful in determining if everything I wanted was in stock before placing the order.

        Shipping on everything was a very reasonable $8.

        I'll post more once my order arrives.

                OK, I'm super impressed. I placed my order with Firstcallpaintball.com yesterday afternoon, and today when I got home my order was waiting for me. Now provided they are in Va. and I'm in NC, but that's still very fast service.

                Both tanks and the dropforward arrived packed in bubble-wrap in 32degrees paint box. It was packaged with popcorn also, so it seemed pretty well packed.

                The only thing I need to do now is to air up both tanks to confirm they are in good working order.

                Thus far I would have to give FirstcallPaintball a glowing recommendation!

                Hope this helps.
