Problem w/custom built mag

[edwards888]

Here's my set-up (everything bought individually):
Intelli-frame (chrome)
AGD Chrome Hopper Right Power Feed body
Chrome Omega Body Rail
Crome Vert adpt and gas thru
Chrome KAPP DropZone II
AA Apoc 2K
10" Dye Boomie
Minimag valve w/ANS Phase II Charger (got off ebay)
All internal parts (sear, orings, on/off, spring pack, piston, etc) have all been replaced with AGD store products.

Here's the problem:
I can not seem to get my velocity above 230 (usually just under 200).

Tank is full! Velocity is turned ALL the way up!


I have the LX, but can't seem to get the stock to work correctly. HELP ! ! !

you might need a new reg piston...

What's your Level 10 setup? We need to look at the info to help diagnose the problem.

But my guess is that you are either running the large spring or are using too small a carrier, (or a combination of both)

[automan39]

also what pressure r u running into ur valve. its need to be at least 700 psi or higher.

[edwards888]

Answers to all of the above question:

Reg piston is new, as are all of the internal parts and o-rings.

LX is NOT installed. Stock parts are still a problem. (Did try to install the LX to no avail so I went back to stock. Actually ordered the LX before I even had the valve.)

Pressure at 750.

Keep em' coming!

I would try and send it to AGD

[silenttype]

if its level 10 try snippin that bolt spring some.
dont wory u have 2 of them cut the one that is already cut,dosnt have the round end.

Keeep trying, if you have it screwed in all the way it should be venting like crazy, you may need to twist a little more.

If all else fails pick up a normal calssic valve for testing. The only ANS product that works alright in mags is their bolt. All their other valves, chargers, etc seem to cause problems in the guns I have seen.

One more thing if you are using a thumb adjuster take it off and use the stock. I had a Lapco adjuster and the thing wouldn't screw in as far as I needed to. Good Luck

get rid of that ans reg. its a $55 white elephant.

[edwards888]

LawFox ... AGD may be my only hope!

Silenttype ... LX is not installed yet, stock still not working.

Speedy ... that is the ONLY part I have not changed. I will give that a try. My best friend has a mini that I can "steal" the stock adjuster from to see if that will do the trick.

Thanks for the input fellas!

I'll keep you posted!
