My first mag build

[Menace_AO]

Yeah,

You need pressure. As BT noted, 800 and up. You will be a sad panda trying to feed a mag through an LP straw.

My experience with my RT is that the marker will NOT cycle at all under 700 or so psi. And I wouldn't even consider an set constant output under 850psi due to a lack of reliable working.

Raper, I clicked on your thread for the first time and went wow. I'm currently building an Automag as well and mine looks exactly like yours, Same exact parts. Great minds think alike I suppose.

Gold spring. No shims in lvl 10. Start with 2 shims in ult. What's ur location?

I'm in Roscoe, IL.. which is basically on the WI/IL boarder just north of Rockford..

I will re shim my ninja reg and get the output level up to 900psi and then go from there. I know they require more input presure than a standard gun but I was hoping to get it set up with what air I did have here at the house in the mean time... I will re-shim my tank reg this weekend and get it filled when I'm at team practice and get the output pressure to 900psi hopefully and then see what's going on then.

Nice!.. I'm still waiting on my CCM feedneck to show up and it will be pretty much complete. I will have to see if I am going to order up the XULE carbonfiber body or not. Once I get it going and put paint though it, then I'll have a better idea of if I want to spend more money on this gun, or if I'm happy with it and want to leave it how it is..


On a side not.. I am not very happy with the finsh of my ULE body from agd.. It was ordered new and right from them but the finish is kinda crappy on the anno. It a really dull satin black and It was suppose to be gloss black from my understanding. It is in between a gloss and a dust finish and is really gray'd out.. Any ideas on that... The finish alone is going to make me order up that XULE body..lol

youre about 2 1/2 hours from me, if youre interested

...but I cant get the damn thing to fire yet...
...and the trigger did have resistance the whole time I was doing this....

When you have it aired up, is there any gap between the trigger and the trigger pin? If not, that's your problem. You want to adjust the trigger pin so there is a gap about the thickness of a credit card between the trigger and trigger pin.

I'm in McHenry, which is about an hour away from you. I have a friend who was from Roscoe.

[robertreed711]

I was just thinking that the finish seemed quite matte. I have a stock ULE and mine is definitely gloss.

bbotts is a great mag tech

[OPBN]

Looking at your pics, the trigger is awfully far back....

Good catch. Maybe the upped adjustment screw in the trigger is screwed in too much?

[bbotts77]

Shh....
We don't want that to get out.

[blackdeath1k]

He stated a 500psi input. Although there may be a set screw issue. Have any of you guys got your mag to cycle at 500 input? None of mine will.

[BTAutoMag]

nope

[RAPER]

in those pictures the marker wasn't gassed up yet.. once the marker has air there is a slight gap between the pin and the trigger.. I'm thinking its just the LP output pressure from my tank causing the issues (i knew going into it that the gun needed more input pressure to run at a "peak" performance, but was hoping lower would work for setup purposes). I'll i'm sure it will be quite fine once thats addressed.. If not I will for sure post up and let you all know.. Thanks for the willingess to have my stop by and help, I really appreciate it and you are all a bunch of stand up guys in my book
