Is it normal for a mag to stop firing when my HPA tank (4500psi) hits 1000psi left?

Only if you're using the longest Level 10 spring and a really tight carrier.
What exactly is your set up/Velocity?

I sometimes question the readings on those tank gauges at the lower pressure readings. Mine has done the same thing (stopping at around 1000psi) in the past. Lately though, I have noticed it shoots until my pressure is down around 650psi. I don't know why. I think the more you exercise your mag the better the mag regulator works and the less pressure differential you need to recharge your mag valve. I did notice that the mag coughed more at the lower pressure due to a significant lag in the recharge times.Except for the Automag in front, its usually the man behind the equipment that counts.Comment

Well i just built this mag... It has an xvalve, and I didn't start tinkering with the carrier or the spring yet. I was happy when it started firing.
I'm thinking maybe the xvalve hasn't been broken in yet?
I don't know, this if my first mag.
Another question I have, is how do you tell what operating pressure an mag valve is running at?Comment

The mag reg takes whatever incoming pressure you put into it and takes it down to around 400psi. Actual on-ball pressure is 70-80psi if I remember correctly.Comment

1000 seems a little high. however, thoes gauges they put on those bottles are notoriously bad

yeah, the bottle gauges are usually off and if it's a preset, set to 850, it may stop around what it shows as 1000. ...?sigs are overrated.Comment
