    Cool!, well thanks for the marker you've done an exellent job and I could'nt be happier

    Jesus!, well if and when it does happen I've got the steel braided hose still so I can fit that again. I'm going to keep my face away from that bad boy from now on .

    Your marker does already have a double trigger(AGD Intelliblade trigger anodized gloss black). Some do upgrade their trigger to the RPG Viperblade Pro bearing trigger, or the RPG Splinter Pro bearing trigger. But remember, at the end of the day, its still a mech marker. It will only be as good as you are. Its performance is limited by your skill.
    Yeah my skill is lacking so I need my marker to help me as much as possible. Sure it would be easier to go for a electro but I like the unique feel of the mech mag and as I've said before it's accuracy and performance means super-rapid fire is'nt always required to eliminate people. I have been told to get a viperblade tirgger and a trigger sear mod which makes the trigger pull heavier but reduces chuff. I am happy with how it performs now but am always looking for ways to improve it, both through mods to the marker and through using it more and improving my own skill (if you can call it that).

    With your knowledge of the mag, what would you say is the best barrel to buy and use with it? I was told the redz pepperstickz set which I have now, what is your opinion on this? would you recommend another?.

      Two detents help keep the gun from feeding multiple paintballs at the same time(with force feed loaders). If you are not having problems you don't need another one, and if you are, a new detent would probably fix it. You probably don't need to get another detent.

        I have another Rogue-built marker that has been the subject of my AGD Chronicles. They do contain a lot of information of what I have done and why. This is the latest, with links to older posts. Some are all tech and upgrade stuff, others are playing:



        In my case, a 2007 Powerlyte Scepter kit with 5 inserts has been working really well.

        A Vyperblade or Splinter Pro trigger is a nice upgrade. I think you would be amazed what happens if you get an AGD Flatline and crank up the pressure to about 1100 psi or more. I seem to prefer 1100 psi, because I can still control the rate of fire. Past that, I have problems with still shooting a burst when I want to fire a single shot.

        The Paradigm Pro comes with a ULT kit. Try tuning that. My experience so far is that six ULT shims (a Lvl 10 shim is equal to two ULT shims) is often what works and gives you a feather trigger.

        Get an x-valve replacement parts kit to have on hand.

        I definitely agree with putting the steel braided hose back on (with a quick disconnect). I used to run an Automag with macroline, but would replace the macroline every now and then.

        Everything I have heard and read about the Paradigm Pro makes it a great deal. When people ask me about buying an AGD marker, I suggest it.

          That is precisely why I recently switched my Mags over to steel braided, from macroline. I mess with input pressure, and a macroline failure is inevitable.

          Also note that not all macroline is created equal. I had/have line w/a .050" wall thickness, and it's rated @ 1k PSI working pressure. Line w/a .040" thick wall is rated much lower!

              AMEN!

              Although I've never had it happen to me, but I always checked & replaced the macroline quite often. Mags like SS braided for safety & reliability.

                Will I have a macroline problem if I have not messed with the marker pressure? I know you have to up the pressure to get better performance but at the moment the marker is out of the box setup apart from the oops and macroline.

                  Maybe you will...maybe you won't. No one can be sure. Like I said, I've never had a macroline failure in 7 years of paintballing.

                  What's your input pressure to the marker?

                  Look at this thread

                    To be honest I'm not sure but I have not adjusted it since I took it out the box also I know my mag is not as responsive on the trigger as some of the others I've tried out which have been adjusted.

                    Either way, be sure I will be finding out soon and I'll also check what macroline I've got on the marker (I did not fit it myself) and I'll upgrade it to the thicker macroline.

                    What are my options in making the macroline more secure? I don't have plans to up the pressure yet, if I do I will probably change back to steel hose for safety now this has been brought to my attention. I have a 1.1L 3000psi crossfire bottle with a red reg standard fitting and a non adjustable empire oops on the marker.

                      Cut the ends of the macro nice & square, replace the line if it gets scuffed or otherwise leaves any doubt to it's integrity, and don't cut it too short.
