Early Automag Troubles...HELP?

Does the leak stop when you pull (and hold) the trigger?

[Aslan]

nope

Does the leak stop when you pull (and hold) the trigger?

The leak doesn't stop if I hold the trigger down.

I might try to put the .215 spacer in...but I'm not lucky enough for that to work...

.215 spacer

The leak doesn't stop if I hold the trigger down.

I might try to put the .215 spacer in...but I'm not lucky enough for that to work...

Welp...I put the .215 spacer in...seems the same. I'd try to continue to go lower, but .215 is the lowest numbered spacer in the kit.

This really stinks. I guess I'm going to have to send it into AGD. I just hate to give up...I mean I've replaced every o-ring and a number of parts to try to get this thing working...

Here's something I noticed though. I put my ear up against one of my blowbacks...heard the same faint leak. Maybe what I'm hearing is natural for a gun that runs on air? If somebody wants to give me a hand on this...take out your Mag, air it up, and put your ear against the mainbody, barrel end (don't pull the trigger), and the powerfeed. Do you hear "something"...a very, very faint leak?

Thanks.

If the leak doesn't stop when you pull the trigger, there's also a problem with the on/off. If the leak is so slight that it doesn't affect performance then I wouldn't worry about it. If it's still bothering you though, send it in to AGD and save yourself further headaches.

Here's a picture

If I can get the photo to attach...I'll show you the completed old school automag classic. I warn you...if you're a shiny anodized freak...you'll hate the simplicity...

Son of a B^tch!! Come on AO...can we fix the photo attachment thing already?!

Not Working

Well...I'm now at wits end.

I took out the Mag for the first time this afternoon to try it out in a game situation. Well...it would fire one shot at about 275-300 fps then *phish* *phish*...then it would shoot a ball out by almost rollnig it out...severre power loss after a few shots.

I guess I need to take advantage of the star program on this one.

[Aslan]

Look how stupid I am

Well...sent it in. It turns out, I put the on/off pin in upside down. That was the only thing wrong.

[paint magnet]

Ouch, hope that didn't cost you a star.

[Aslan]

Ouch, hope that didn't cost you a star.

It sure did.

Thats tragic! You should have em read this post so they feel bad

[Aslan]

They did

I sent them a copy of the entire thread so they'd know what I've already done.

Man that sucks. I nearly got me self in a bit o gunk like that.

I just got my classic and Im showing it to my bud. When I stripped it to show him the goodness he pushed the on/off pin into the assembly. I had no clue as to what it was. If I didnt have the tape Id be up the creek without a boat(Props to Tom!).

Hope shes purring for ya now
