Need some Info...

[lowenbhold]

I am new to the sport, so I have this question...I just bought this used 68 automag classic, which has an e-trigger which I believe is made by center flag. What my question is first of all what would would I need to do to this gun, so I can get its top performance and where can I get the products for this gun. If anyone can help or send some pics of what others have done it would be great..Like I said I am new to this sport but now since I have played a coulple of times I am hooked....

Would you happen to have a picture of the gun? Make it easy to tell you what is available if we knew what you already had.

Some of the best places to get parts is from one of the dealers here on AO. You can also order stuff directly from AGD.

Also, the first thing you should do is read the manual for the gun. If you have a classic, this should be the one you want.

Here is those pics of the gun...hopefully you can help me on what I can upgrade on this gun to make it a better gun

Ok, what you have is a Powerfeed 68 Automag (some times known as a Classic Mag) with a Hyperframe on it.

Things you can change.

Body: You can replace the stainless steel Powerfeed body with a ULE bosy (or any body built off the slug body). If you do go with a ULE/Slug body, you would have to get a cocker threaded barrel.

Level 10: From the picture I obviously can not tell if it has the Level 10 bolt in it. If it does not, you can upgrade to it. It will prevent ball chops, but it also requires spending more time tuning the gun and requires more maintenance.

If you really want to spend the money (probably more than you paid for the gun) you can get an X-Valve. This valve is reactive (which won't make much difference with the Hyper frame, but it is lighter (made of aluminum instead of stainless steel), and the recharge rate is much better 26bps instead of the 13bps of the classic valve. It also comes with the Level 10 upgrade.

Trigger Frames: You can place any of the aftermarket Automag frames on there. Though because you do have the Hyper frame, you probably will not want to do this.

ULE Trigger: Though it's not advised to use the ULE Trigger (ULT) with a classic valve because it vill cause short stroking, with the Hyper frame on there, you might actually get better performance. This would be a risky upgrade and might not work.

One thing I would personally do is replace the macro line. I am not a fan of something that can burst and cuase injury. I run steel braided hose and brass fittings on all my guns.

I would also buy a rebuild kit or two to have on hand. The great thing with a mag is that most any problem can be fixed with an oring, but since most fields do not stock Mag parts, if you do not have them on hand, you might be out of luck. Also, a dental pick is a great thing to have with a mag, it makes getting the orings out a lot easier.


Edit: That all being said, you have a very solid gun and as long as the Hyper frame works well, that gun will last a long time. If you have not done so, I should honestly read the manual, if you can find a copy of the video, watch it (I think there was a copy floating around online here on AO.

Muzik pretty much summed it up.

All you really need is a nice N2 tank if you don't already have one, and you'll be set. Personally, I reccomend Crossfire since you don't have an RT or X-Valve.

I would do these 'basic but necessary' things to it:

-Remove the drop forward and mount the ASA directly to the frame.
-Replace the macro line with a stainless steel piece.


If you have money to spend, get these items:

-ULE Body with a good Autococker threaded barrel. (This will remove that horrid elbow once and for all)
-An HPA tank (Crossfire is a good brand)
-An aftermarket rail (Look at themagsmith.com)


Themagsmith.com should be the first place you look for upgrades.
