What Next?
Okay, long and short of it is I'm at a crossroads in fixing my Mag. It's older, bought it used a couple months ago. Tried to use it at the field a month ago and it was shooting 175fps and ended up leaking out the back as I was messing around with it. 
I got some good feedback about how to go about getting it working again here on AO, but it still isn't working...got a faint leak that is persisting.
You can read the entire story about what the synptoms were/are and everything I've done to try and resolve it by going to my other post (should still be recent...."EARLY AUTOMAG TROUBLES...HELP"...or something like that). Essentially I've replaced the reg piston assembly, all of the o-rings, and the power tube tip and o-ring. I haven't re-chronoed (don't own a chrono) nor have I tested it since the last fix to see if I'm getting anymore shots/psi...but I still getting a faint leak that is best heard by putting your ear right up against the front where the barrel would screw in.
I want to make a couple more upgrades...I want to add a drop and take off the current expansion chamber set-up and add a fore-grip and run the line directly from the ASA On/Off to the valve. I also have a Level 10 that I want to install.
So, why the poll? Well, I'm tempted to send the gun in...I'm sure AGD can fix it...no doubt. But, I've already done a significant amount of work to try to get it running...and I'd hate to send it in and have them re-replace every o-ring (because I've already done that) and then get it back the same way it is now. I'm also wondering if maybe I've fixed the problem...maybe the faint leak is normal. Maybe I should wait and take it to the field...see if it's shooting 275-285fps and not using too much air. Maybe I should continue with the mods...because I might have problems installing the hoses to the valve or something and need more help later...ESPECIALLY if I get to the part where I'm installing the level 10.
So, see the poll for the choices...and DEFINITELY feel free to give me advice...I need it!
