Running my minimag on a different regulator
I was looking around on ebay on day and I came across a very interesting automag. The owner of the mag had taken all the parts that delt with the regulator out of the gun and sealed off the hole in the back of the valve, then he/she took and ran a vigilante regulator on the gun and claimed that the gun had no shootdown and ran at an input pressure of 375,the operating pressure, instead of the normal 800 psi. I was thinking of downing the same thing but I'm going to use a vertical Smart Parts Max Flo regulator since I use CO2 and I have a way to seal the hole. Can this setup work? Please don't say the RT valve is better because I can't use nitro and I don't have that kind of money. Thanks.

Same thing...
Any mag operates around 400 PSI. You need more than that going into the reg (A.I.R. Valve) so it does not starve the gun. Take that guy on Ebay. What he essentially did was the same thing that your gun is doing now. He still needs around 700-800 psi from him air source going into the vigi which then regulates it down to 375 psi. It is just a waste of money IMO, but to each his own.
