    New Minimag having ball spin problems

    I just bought a Minimag! The problem I am having is with ball spin! I have tried the stock barrel, I have tried a tear drop and I have tried a freak barrel and I still have problems! When I shoot you can see the balls fly about 15 feet and then they take a hard 90 deg turn in all directions! The freak seemed to help (fewer balls spin) however when I rapid fire the spin comes back and I am unable to hit anything! I have used 32 deg and Draxxus paint and I am using CO2 with a anti syphon kit mounted on a drop forward running into a 32 deg 6 stage expansion chamber mounted on the vert. adapter! Help!!!

      Are you shooting *fresh* quality paint?

      What's your velocity?

      Lumpy paint or high velocities can cause this...

          more info. about ball spin problem

          The paint is new and looks to be in good condition! My velocity is around 280 ft/sec! I have the small .687" insert in the freak because the paint is close to that size! Thanks!

              Did you break a ball?

              Maybe you got oil in your barrel from your gun somehow.

              Do you have a warp feed? I've heard of people over lubing the warp plates and having this problem.

                  How are you matching the paint to the insert? Are you going by a chart or actually pushing a ball through the barrel? Try going to the largest size that won't just let the ball roll through.

                      A barrel id of .687 seems a bit on the small size. I like to use .689 or .691 for Draxxus paint. Even so, I don't experience bad accuracy that you are experiencing. Definately check the consistency of the paint.
                      Except for the Automag in front, its usually the man behind the equipment that counts.

                          Possibly over oiled the marker and have oil in the barrel ?

                              im not trying to be a supple, pouting terd-head but every sentence that barrel wrote ended in a '!'

                              just a hint for ur spinny ball thingy

                              use marbilizer, nothing else... marbilizer beats every other kind of paint
                              Yummy yummy yummy, I've got fun in my tummy.
