Automag really inaccurate

Boomstick paint

I've had a couple of Boomies on different guns and I've tried several different types of paint as well.

1. Marbilizers, they fit very well in the Boomstick and have a consitant size and shape. They also shoot better than a lot of paint would if either of them had the wrong size barrel match. Another benefit of marbs is the new advantage shell which is not oilly like notmal paintballs. It is more resistant to heat and ifnitally more resistant to humidity and dimpling. I just played a game two days ago with 2 month old Marbs and they shot like a dream out of my AA. You can get a case online for usually about $56 plus shipping.

2. Diablo Midnights, these also fit well but since i've been using the advantage paint from RPS/PMI I'll never go back. These dimple much easier and are just below the accuracy of marbs in a boomy or similiar barrels.

3.PMI Premiums also have the advantage shell and are a good value at $43 plus shipping. You will lose some consistency/accuracy from choosing these over the marbs because they aren't as consistant in shape or size and don't get the pink it stains your clothes.

4. And if you must go to Wal-mart for paint then the super swirls are your best bet.

the ANS isn't hurting you. The benchy could be if the trigger rod is adjusted wrong. Make sure the trigger shoots and there's still a little space afterward. And make sure there is a lil front slop too. Also pull the trigger really slowly. Does the air leak out slowly? If it does then replace the PT oring. If it still does it then go one size smaller on the pt spacer. Will the correct bore matching, and decent paint, the gun should be very accurate.

Go for the good paint to barrel match. I dont see how the trigger rod or ANS valve would affect accuracy. The stock AGD internal parts are the best though so get that ANS out of there! Another thing that I just figured out, is that you don't put any oil on the bolt. I always put oil on the bolt, but then someone told me that when the bolt goes forward, the next ball in the stack gets oil rubbed on it. Makes sense. I dont know if that would effect your accuracy much though. I also think that a 16 inch barrel might be a little overkill. Look in Tom's Tech Tips, he has a bunch of stuff about barrels, and ball sizing that may be helpful.

I didnt say that.

allstar works well in the boomsticks

but marbs work best.

(friend owns a boomstick and is very acurate.)

Galliger,
Try a Dye SS barrel and try to keep it at a max length of 14". Marbs and Dye Barrels work very well together as does JT paint(made by RPS) and PMI premium, if you want some serious accuracy, try Diablo and a J&J two piece combo. I've had both set ups and shot at least ten cases of each with very accurate results. The paint to barrel match is your preference, but remember, cheap paint does nothing for accuracy. You bought a nice barrel and a nice marker, don't get cheap on the paint.

If you want a cheap solution, buy a Smart Parts Teardrop barrel and shoot PMI Big Balls, or Slam Belly Yellows through it. Both are a little bit bigger than Marbs and are very nice through the SP barrels.

just my $.02

hmmm...

I have a Mag...

I have a Boomstick...

I have good paint to barrel match...

I have damn good accuracy...

If you are one of those skeptical people that follow the crowd and are gullible enough to believe the hype that Cockers are more accurate then Mags, then go blow $1K of your hard earned money that a $400 Mag can do.

I have a Micromag with 14 Boomy. It shoots the same as my bros Cocker. We have tuned our guns to be at their best. And well the truth...

<b> WELL TUNED GUNS SHOOT WELL </b>

Both of us are just about on par in terms of chrony velocity readings and actual field results.

I thought my Mag was so kewl with its compact size and light weight, he thought it was so kewl to have all those fancy pneumatics in the front of his gun with something in the back that moves back in forth whenever he pulled the trigger.

Both of us are happy...

No complaints...

Hopefully my Boomstick experience can help you... I bought a 14" Boomstick a while back, and no matter what paint I used, the accuracy absolutely sucked. (3 foot spread at about 50 feet, it was insane). Then, I broke a ball down the barrel, so the entire inside of the barrel was coated with paint. I fired another ball, and then took the barrel out (I suspected that the boomstick was bent some), and sure enough, the SS part had been wiped clean, but then there was paint along all the barrel until about 4" from the end, and there was a dry streak. Apparently, the barrel was bent enough to cause the paint to hit the inside of the end of the barrel. I took it inside, cleaned it, and took out the O-rings and the nubbins. Then, to test it's alignment, I found the flattest surface I could (a glass table), and rolled the barrel on it. *chink* *chink* *chink*. Turns out it was bent quite a bit, and the tip moved up and down at least a millimeter. I've had it fixed locally twice (the second time, a couple days ago, was because the glue crumbled), and now it's absolutely incredible. Try the rolling trick and see if it's bent (make sure you take off the O-rings and the nubbin). If it is, see if someone can fix it locally for you, or send it in to DYE.
