    with mags in general, you can run them over, chuck them against the wall, or take a hammer to them and they'll still run great (dont try it tho). so expect great things with your new mag.

        I didn't reply to your post before because I saw you were buying from Tuna and therefore you were in very good hands. I got a T1 from him a month or two back. Make sure you get an AGD quick disconnect from him, you will be very glad you did. I also got KILA magnetic detents, rogue feedneck, ULT.

        Your T1 instructions will tell you how to fine tune your marker if you can adjust the input pressure from the tank. But it will work fine on a preset tank also. The 114 is very big, do you need to carry that much air? I use a 45/4500 and have never run out of air during a game, but I also focus on accuracy not volume.

        I like the ricochet much better than the revvy, better profile, looks better on the T1 if you care about that. Contact : [email protected] for a GREAT deal on a ricochet.

        I have a Stiffi barrel kit, amazingly quiet but really pricey. If I didn't have the Stiffi I would get a J&J ceramic. A friend has one on a M98 and it's quiet and accurate (note: ball/barrel match was very good). I may get one anyway just for kicks.

        How does one shoot (accurately) in the off hand if you have a remote? They constantly tug at me and I don't like anything pulling on the back of my marker when I'm shooting...

        I recently switched to the automag and since then I also bought a used 68 classic to use as a pistol. I have a tricked out A5, a tricked out 98 custom, a LP 98 custom and a basic 98 custom. And two PT extremes. Know anyone who wants any of them? I can dust them off for you. I like collecting automags MUCH better.

        My only complaint is finding an ASA/drop that I like. I must have bought 6 different ones to find one I like.

        Looks like I need to sell some stuff on eBay. :)

          i already ordered it, so i might have ti get that stuff later when i get more money , but what is a agd quick dissconnect ? i did get the ult. i might get a 45/4500 , im a pretty big kid so the 114 tank isnt that big but you right i think the hose might get in the way a little. how many shots do you get with your 45 tank ? and what brand is it and waht output is it putting out 850 ? ive seen alot of different 45/4500 tanks out there and they all say something different lke 500 shots with 850 output , 800 with 850, 800 with 800output and so on so i dont know what is the best tank , thanks :) , oh yea what is the name of the trigger pull kit ? ule ? or ult ? i keep hearing everyone refer to it as those to names , im confused

            The agd quick dissconnect is stainless steel, not cheap nickel plated. I put a kapp swivel elbow into the x-valve and then the male end of the QD goes into the elbow (the female end attaches to the hose). This way you can easily take your valve out and take your marker apart. Which you will definitely want to do so you can clean your marker from time to time, if nothing else. Tuna forgot to install my ULT, so I had to do it (takes 2 minutes, no big deal) and then test it and install more shims. So I've taken my new Tac apart like a dozen times already, sometimes just for fun. It will save you lots of headaches. Write to him, he will add it and you can send him the extra money. Black shrink wrap on the hoses is also worth the extra dollars, since you have such a nice marker.

            I just got a Nitro Duck X-stream adjustable, and I also have a preset nitro duck 45/4500 and a crossfire 68/4500. But I have not used them enough to give you good info about them. Read your mag manual and you'll know if what input pressure will suit your style of play. From there you can decide what tank you need.

            Personally I believe that you should only carry the air and paint you will need for the goal you want to achieve. Beyond that it's just extra weight and a bigger target.

            Have you ever filled a bunch of pods, loaded your hopper, and then got hit before you got a shot off? Makes you feel like a fool, coming back to base with all that paint.


            Technically I think it's a "ULE (ultra light engineered) trigger pull kit" but its ULT for short.

            I'm thinking of selling the 68/4500 with thread and nipple caps, dye rhino cover (the best) and an elastic camo cover. Perfect shape with many years left before the hydo test. Probably $160 + shipping, I'll have to check and see if that is a fair price.

              people have told me that 850psi is perfect for this marker. i play rec ball but i shoot alot i want a tank that i can at least get 1000 shots from. well i told tuna i wanted a tac one with ule installed and he said he would tune it and stuff to his best ability , so i dont think he will forget to put mine in. he said the kit is a on/off , what the heck is a on/off and how does it take 2 pounds of the trigger pull ? hopefull ill have my gun tuesday or wednesday , i cant wait .

                850 is probably perfect for most, but you've stepped up to a new level of paintball marker now and you have options. You can tune your mag for better peformance as "full assault" or as "sniper", or anywhere in between.

                The on/off is how your automag will fire. It operates much differently than other markers. Read the manual, give the marker seals time to wear in/seat themselves, and search AO for answers. You'll find most of your questions have usually been asked at least once by someone who wants to do exactly what you do.

                Tuna is great with service, he answers my questions within a few hours if not instantly.

                If I had more posts I would say "Patience, grasshopper", but I'm new to AO also.
