    A cleaner way to route the airline?

    Hi everyone

    On an emag when you use the airline, you cannot use a gas through anymore to get a clean setup. Has anyone found a way to route the airline so that it doesn't look out of place?



    Like in that picture, you can see that there isn't any way to hide the airline and give it a clean look. If an emag battery pack were to be produced that have a build in gas through line, would anyone be interested?

    big looping SS hose. or route the line BEHIND the trigger frame but not in the way of your wrist or tank

        Best way, switch to macroline.

        Then get a custom length (14-16") and set it up. It will curve forward, around the warp hose, and if it is the right length it will sit far enough forward to clear you trigger fingers and stay back enough not to interfere with you holding the front grip.
        I use a 12" macro and it just barely invades the trigger guard. I shoot a mech gun though so it isn't bothersome, but if I try to walk it can brush against my fingers.

        Not to mention macro makes pulling the valve a sinch.


        But if that isn't your thing, running the line (macro or SS) backwards will clear everything, but it might bump into your mask.

        Try (if you can) running it from the left side of the ASA to the valve, when it crosses over it leaves the line at an angle which would better clear your wrist.

        Or, you could always run a hard-line from the valve along the rail, down the battery casing, then over to the asa...

            That's the way I do it, except with 14" SS Braided with QD.

                  IMO the best air routing you're ever going to get on a Mag is if you do it custom (i.e. mill your mag). I'd start with a RT rail, plug the side port, then mill the rail to route the air through the trigger frame with a steel line directly into a CP ASA. Should work, although my experience is limited with Automags.

                    Get a mircoline and run it from the valve through the slot between the trigger guard and battery housing and down to the ASA. It works the best when the valve port and ASA port are on opposite sides of the marker.
                    This is what I do, dont have to worry about the line getting hung up on anything or interfering with my fingers.
