Degassing?

[madmikey72]

I am kinda new to the whole mag scene. I was pleasantly suprised by the shooting of my recent purchase (xmag), but i have one question. once you are done shooting and turn off the gas (flatline tank), fire off the 1-2 shots left, there is still like 600psi in the gas line. i am having trouble removing my quick disconnect. i tried to switch to macro line but no different. how do you vent out the remaining pressure to degas the gun or remove the tank?

Try a slide check in the gas line, a proconnect or just pop the QD like the rest of us do.

What I do is put one hand on the female side (don't cover up the actual slide) and push it towards the male part. With my other hand I slide the female off. So I'm actually using both hands on the female part of the hose. Once you do it bunch of times you should get the hang of it. Hope this helps.

thanks. sounds like the qd is a better way to go than the macroline

Get a slide check.

what is a slide check? and where do i get one?

I just bought one from Action Village. I bought a 90 deg fitting to put on my tank reg. the Slide check will screw into that then a straight macro line fitting goes into the slide check. When you move the slide on the check valve it will release all the gas in the line. Move it the other way and it will seal it up and you are ready to shoot.

no prob. oh yeah, once when I first got my Flatline, I had macroline on it and the air would bleed... To let the air out, the guy at the shop got out the wire cutters and clipped the macro. LOL The air popped out fast!
