FAQ thread for new and old members alike

[GT]

Although the comment about old memebers was not cool, ill ignore it and add my bit. Here is the how to build a mag thread: http://www.automags.org/forums/showthread.php?t=93595

For used parts particularly anything that will have an air connection make sure that are very very clean. Go to your favorite hardware store and buy a set of dental pics. Take the dental pics and clean every single thread.

7. a note on Teflon tape this stuff is only good if you are in a bind. It can be a real mess if you have not used it before. It is good to take to the field for emergencies but beyond that it can cause more harm than good. However the best way, I believe is to wrap the air fitting twice with a very even thinTake home message: this stuff can be nasty avoid use if possible.

How to build a mag, finally!

Click above picture for the uber huge picture!!!IT DOES NOT NEED TO BE SO TIGHT THAT IT MAKES YOUR NUCKLES WHITE!

7. Connect the rest of your air fittings using the BL method.

8. Bolt on your ASA, dropforward, and tank

9. Screw in your barrel, place hopper on body, connect airlines, gas up and OWN!

10. Done!

put on a barrel condom or plug tape a paintball half way into the breech. Pull the trigger until the paintball gets chopped. IF you run out of air, your hand gets tired then the lvl 10 is setup properly. If not start over with the above steps.

Great posts GT. They're a bit lengthy to add in their entirety into the original post, but I'll edit the post to point them here.

Ahhhhh...
I've been out of the game for a while, but it's so great to know that AO is still around.

I regret having to sell my Minimag last year... really bad financial situation even before the economy tanked.

Needless to say I'll be cruising the classifieds.

Thank you, AO, for still being here.

p.s. please notice my join date been here since '01. Not a noob, just been away for a while.

pitcure how to

how do you put a picture on a post i keep trying and it has an upload error

-E-mag valve: is the same as an RT Pro/Retro Valve, but will always accept a ULT on/off


Bolded part is false. Old E-Mag valves can have a single o-ring around the top of the on/off pin rather than the dual o-ring that is now standard.

I know I've been away for awhile but how do you post pictures to your threads now a days? Every time I try to up load one I get an error, any help and a walk through on how to do it would be appreciated.

Thanks
