      My tank runs at 800 psi 45, 4500. My problem is that the first ball fired works just fine, it is just the 2nd, 3rd, ect. that are the problem and get stuck or flop.

          Looks like it has been a while since anyone said thanks for such a great thread. My son and I used the emag trigger adjustment info to great effect when we bought a used Emag. Thanks!

                O-Ring / seal / bumper replacement?

                Should the o-rings / seals / bumper in a Mag be replaced every year, number of balls, etc... or only if something goes wrong?

                Thanks,

                Eric

                  I haven't replaced a single o-ring in my E-Mag in the three years I've owned it. Those 90 durometer o-rings will last forever. Just use good oil and keep the valve clean and it will operate well for a long time.

                    Cool, thanks.

                    Does the bumper ever wear out?

                        Mag is sick...

                        OK. This all started when a cousin of mine was looking at my 'mag (X Valve minimag with intelli) I keep it on a display stand with the tank threaded only to the first thread so that the gun isn't gassed up while stored. well, the iddiot cousin screwed in the tank while he was looking at it, then put it back. It was gassed up for a week before I found out! I took it to my back yard and tried to fire it, but it wouldn't fire. the trigger had a nice bouncy resistance to it, but no fire. I de-gassed the marker, pulled the trigger, gassed it back up, and fired it. Just fine. I took the marker to the field the next morning. Here's the problem. If i dont shoot it for a period of about 15 minutes, I'll start a game, pull the trigger and it doesn't fire like normal.. If you pull the trigger all the way back, it won't fire, then you start to release the trigger and POP! it fires, after the first shot, it works like magic the rest of the game. let the gun sit for another 15 minutes and it does the same thing. It was irritating but I could live with it. I have since upgraded to a ULT, and am still having the same problems. but over time it seems to have gotten worse.. In a tourney this weekend it flat refused to fire before every game. I would pull the trigger and it wouldnt return or fire, it just kinda dangled there. After Bumping the side of the gun a few times with with the heel of my hand it would make a chuffing noise, kick out a ball at obout 10fps, reset, and it was fine untill next time. Something somewhere is creeping, but I don't know what... HELP!!

                            Noob in need of help.

                            I got an Automag RT off of ebay. I asked the guy to send any documentation he could find with it and he said he would send some tape but never did. What I'm getting at is I have NO idea how to maintain this thing and would appreciate any and all help. I downloaded the RT manual and it helped a little. I just got the air tank filled today and when I first plugged it up to the gun I heard a constant hissing. I realize the chambers have to fill with air, but this tank dropped over 1000psi before it quit. The constant hissing could be heard through the feed tube. I assumed it wasnt' good to keep pressure in the gun so I bled all of that out after I fired the gun a few times. I fired maybe 200 rounds through the gun and judging by what I read, everything seemed normal except my airtank was over half empty. At least I dont think that should be normal because i read that I should be able to get about 1000 shots out of a fill. I don;t know if I'm just being paranoid, and or got ahold of bad information or what. I'm just looking for a few definitive answers. This is a link to the auction. If anyone can identity exactly what model I have, maybe I can figure out more of this stuff on my own. But like I said earlier, any and all help is greatly appreciated because I don't know what the hell im doing! :\ Thanks in advance.

                              Also, do a search on AO.com for "leaks down barrel."

                              Sounds like you just need to purchase a $20 rebuild kit and replace o-rings as that gun is pretty old.

                              After that, you only need to put 6 drops of oil in the hose ASA and dry fire without the barrel to lube everything.

                              I have one of the best barrels, a Boomstick, out there for that gun which I still use only cocker threaded with a ULE body. Check my sig for stuff for sale.

                              Good Luck and welcome to AO.com. Mags are still my favorite!!!

                                Air issues at high rate of fire

                                I bought a used Minimag off some guy I know. It appears to be stock with a single trigger, but does have maybe the Black Ice Expansion chamber on it. Not sure what bolt it has. I have had no real problems with it, and have run about 5,000 rounds through it. The only thing I have noticed is that if I fire repeatadly and quickly, there seems to be an air loss or it acts as if the bolt can't keep up. I have done the 15 second trigger pull test, and there are no leaks. If I shoot fairly quickly repeatadly, there are no problems. Any thoughts/suggestions of things to look for/fix would be appreciated.

                                Thanks.

                                Shoot straight, shoot often...
