Velocity with lvl10

[kgbbonecrusher]

I love the level 10, let me start out with that. no chops since. however, i noticed my velocity jumps around like crazy. I don't know if it is because of the level 10, but that's my guess. I'm using a minimag with lvl 10 and an armageddon 68/4500. Its the only reg i have on it. my front grip is just a gas thru. I put about... oh... 850 into my gun. If anyone else has had this problem, how did you fix it? i'm considering buying another reg, but i honestly haven't had any experience with HPR, my other gun is a bushy. I was thinking the system x reg (http://store.yahoo.com/actionvillage/034-8501.html) or the ANS genX (http://store.yahoo.com/actionvillage/031-1075-5.html) or maybe even a cheap PMI, if it would work. here's where i am looking:

but, if anyone has any other suggestions, I'm open. i dont really want to spend more than 100, but im open minded.

Also, i was looking at the ANS (i think that's the brand) Valve, the one with the 8 holes. does that really do anything for anyone? Just curious.

1) ANS is crap. Stay away & don't waste your money
2) DO NOT put another regulator on your gun. The HPA(tank) reg is one and the Valve on the gun is the second. If you put a third one in there, you risk starving the gun for air, further compounding your problems.

Back to basics?

Have you cheked your regulator seat?
How bad is she jumping around?

Good Luck

Also check to make sure you are using the largest carrier that doesn't leak. It didn't sound like you checked this. If your carrier is too tight on the bolt, it will cause unnecesary friction and yeild bad velocity fluctuations.
