    I Need Some Help

    I have played paintball on and off for roughly 4 to 5 years but as much as i enjoyed it i never had purchased my own marker. Two years ago i bought a classic automag and was using just the basics as starters. I have never gotten to upgrading simply cuz I stopped playing regularly soon after purchasing it. But it has had problems since i got it. It is constantly freezing up the action or just holding it back everytime i pull the trigger which then releases alot of gas out the barrel bfore it finally goes back into positon. The field i play at checked it out and thought it was fixed then it started up again, said i needed an anti-syphon filter and somethin else. finally i said screw it and am asking you all for help, what upgrades do i need to purchase to take care of any possible problems or any normal problems with the classic mag. I am trying to stay low on cost for now as i am in college and funds are low, so keep this in mind. my email is empnagf@hotmail, send ur replays or post them here, I NEED HELP!!!

    If you can afford it and have air fills available, I'd get a high pressure air tank. A small 48ci tank can be had quite cheaply and will keep your gun from experiencing any freezing.

    If you don't have access to HPA then get an antisiphon and/or expansion chamber.
    Except for the Automag in front, its usually the man behind the equipment that counts.

      Basically the co2 is freezing your seals preventing them from sealing. Getting an HPA tank will fix this i would recommend atleast 68/3000, they are pretty cheap, if you have the money and can get it filled i would go 68/4500.
      Or else you coudl get an anti-syphone, expansion chamber, reg, (remote or run a vertical tank, but do not do either of these and an anti-syphon)

          HPA depends on how much money you want to spend, and if you are eventually going to a retro or x-valve. If your not going to one of those two, go with a preset tank, if you are go to an ajustable tank. Ive been out of this for a while so I don't that much about tanks. I use a preset crossfire which works fine for me, I also know what flatlines are a very good tank.

            A palmer stablazier is a good reg.
            I don't know about x-chambers.
            You don't need to change anything because your going to HPA, you can however get a level 10 if you want, that will prevent most if not all chops.
