    New to Mags, HELP!!!

    I'm thinking of getting a used Automag. It only comes with the gun, with a RetroValve. Instead of going with the AGD Flatline System, what is the best, cheapest way to go with the Nitro.
    I know I'd need a tank, drop forward, airsource adapter and the hoses and fittings. What price am I looking to pay, and where can I buy all this stuff online.
    I really appreciate your help.

    There are tons of online sites. The most common ones are



    You can get a cheap preset tank for around $80, if you want a dropfoward (you don't need one for a screw in), that will run anywhere from $25-$60. Hoses and fittings should be maybie $15.

      well, I would get a Macroline kit*. If you want a verical tank, you will need a vertical asa. If you want to mount a vertical forgrip you will need 2 extra macroline fittings, a vertical asa, and a forgrip. also you will need a botomline asa on all of these setups except the vert tank one. you can get these all for cheap on www.paintballgear.net paintball gear has the best prices and the most items i have ever seen in a online paintball store.
      as for the nitro tank, I would probally get a steel one. I got a crossfire 68ci 3000psi steel tank, and it works great! its only 120 bucks, and you can get about 650 shots out of it with the stock mag valve.. i love it and its a great deal. otherwise i would go with a diffrent crossfire nitro system like the bumblebee, or i would go with a PMI pure energy tank.

      *The macroline kit is really neat because you dont have to mess around with getting the right size stainless steel hose, you can just cut the length that you neeed of the hose, and pop it in the fitting. you should ninty degree fittings.

        i reccomend u getting a forgrip, bottomline, macroline, and a barrel if u dont have one already, and you are also probably looking to pay for what i said about $50 without a barrel but with one and a good barrel about $150

            Hey, you're in Sac! Look up Predator Paintball in the phone book. They are arguably the most famous Paintball store in the west!

            Stop on in, they will definitely hook you up.
