automag newbie

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
hello all! ive been playing pb for about 10 years off and on. nothing seriouse just fun with friends. I own an icon led,view loader, (see, nothing high end).
i was in a pawnshop last week and saw a pb marker for 99 bucks. so we haggled a lil and now i am a proud owner of an auto mag.gonna try to post these pics of it because to tell you all the truth i don't even know what i have. i had never even heard of an auto mag. Oh, i finally got the guy down to 25 bucks! whatadeal!....i hope...so if any of you auto mag eficianadoes could help a po boy out and give me some feedback it would be much apreciated.

Oooooooooooo...Snap!!!

Got another one guys

Welcome to the Mag community brother and good snag on the mag.

[behemoth]

so if any of you auto mag eficianadoes could help a po boy out and give me some feedback it would be much apreciated.

Well, If you've been playing for 10yrs, I can assume you're not 13.

Please stop typing like you are.

Welcome to AO, enjoy your stay.

how do i upload pics? rrrrrrrrr!

Ok, i will work on the grammar. I can't seem to figure out how to post a pic. I tried useing jpeg but got a warning that i was doing it wrong. So I looked on the rules/ ban list, etc. no luck. So i will apologize in advance for my ignorance. Can someone tell me how to do it or at least direct me to the information.
and thanks Ando, glad to be here. I hope to learn alot from you guys, you have some very interesting articles. I've had the gun for a week and I think I'm in love! hehe!

Nice snag. id say if its in working condition its worth least 175?

the double trigger is the best part imo. I'm not a fan of twist lock bodies/barrels so that would be the first thing to go...

the classic valve can get up to 13+bps so that will last you tell you can get an rt/x-valve

enjoy let us know how it works

[mpsd]

From what I see in the pics, you have done a great deal. This gun should be worth between $120 to $150. It has:

- Powerfeed twistlock body
- AM/MM rail
- Classic valve
- SP barrel (teardrop?)
- Bechmark double trigger frame
- and a stupidly looooooooong drop LOL

Good catch.

[ProblemKinder]

25 bucks? it probably doesn't work. lemme dispose of it for you

[athomas]

Definately a good deal. Thats a Kapp drop forward. They sold for more than $25.00, let alone getting a whole double trigger gun setup with it.

I want to thank you all for the info on my new (to me) gun. I have tried it out and it works great. All I have right now is a few 20oz Co2 bottles to put on it. I have read a few threads stateing that some form of hp bottle should be used. Does it shoot better with hp? Or is it because of the moisture related with Co2?

sorry problemchild(yeh, I lived in germany) I think I'll hang on to this one. But thanks for the offer.

Won't you have a popo problems with that marker in Germany? What part do you live at, I use to live around Wurzburg.

Yes they run a lot better on hpa. They will run on hpa, but you may need a expansion chamber, and a anti-siphon tube in your co2 tank. The biggest problem with the co2 is drawing liquid co2 into the valve. If you are planning on sticking with co2 I have everything you will need to set up the expansion chamber, exp chamber & vertical adapter in my misc sale thread. I would recommend moving over to hpa though. Its much easier on the internals in the valve and way more consistent as far as velocity goes. With co2 you velocity tends to vary a lot. Welcome aboard to the mag community. You will find just about every piece of info you could ever need to know about mags via a quick search. Oh and nice snag, you got an awesome deal.

Here is my sale thread in case you want to look at the exp chambers and a VA. Both are in the 14th pic. I would suggest the black benchmark exp chamber between the 3 red ones.

ROFL....

I loved the "The Lighthouse" drinks and the huge Long Island Iced Tea they had there we're the best. My beer of choice there was Kill Kenny. I would kill just for a taste.

When were you there? I was there in the military too from 98-00
