Automag RT

[SaiNt]

hi.. i was just wondering.. can you take off the gas-thru on the automag rt and slap on a regulator (macdev glad reg) if you can.. please tell me.. i heard you dont have to.. but if it wont mess up performance.. please let me know.. thx a lot

It wont mess up performance but certainly wont help. It possible could contrict flow but probably not because glads are high flow. I'm not familar with the RTPRO and i'm not sure if the threads are standard, but if you could get it on there it would work. Dont know why you'd want to though.
Probably not standard threads, everything else on the RT isn't standard...

thx.. its a stupid reason but.. i dont like the fore grip if anyone knows something that looks a bit sleeker.. much appreciated =)

There are lots of companies that make gas through forgrips that fit a standard ASA. If you hunt around you should be able to find something that will be to your liking.

Any additional regulator on a mag is frowned apon. If you do put one on, make sure you set the output pressure so that there is at least 200psi difference from mag operating pressure (about 350 - 400psi) to regulator pressure and at least 200psi difference between the regulator pressure and the regulated air bottle output pressure. The pressure differential helps the regulator maintain high flow and pressure consistency.

You want a 200psi differance between regs. Meaning if you have a preset tank your reg must be set at 600-650psi, this may give you to limp of a trigger for your liking.

With an additional regulator, you'll get almost no reactivity in the trigger.
