New to Automags

[jbtamu1011]

Guys, I'm learning so much. Thanks for explaining things to me about differences. I guess when I'm saying classic, I'm meaning the stock/original mags be it all stock or stock body with upgraded valve. No customization of other parts. I didn't think that would mean the different type of valves as well. But thanks for clarifying.

I think I meant to say is, would buying a complete marker be it stock/upgraded be more beneficial to learning the gun or would building a stock or custom mag from parts help more in learning it. I know people have different ways of learning. I hope that makes sense.

Custom is most fun way of learning.

We do understand, but there is no advantage going that route because essentially a custom mag operates exactly like a stock Mag. That said there's no wrong answers here, yours or anyone else.

If you want to start with a $150 Classic Mag have at it, no one here will fault you for it. :)

Agreed. I think this is probably where the majority of us started as well.

You know, I've been thinking about this for a while. In today's paintball is chopping even still an issue with modern force feed hoppers? I understand with gravityfed and old agitated style hoppers like the revy needing level 10. I think level 10 is more valuable today is cause its a little more gentle on paint since its lighter and moves a little slower. Whether it's a level 7 stainless retro valve, a level 10 stainless retro valve, or the lighter level 10 eqipped xvalve. You really cant go wrong. Also to slightly clarify, there are 2 retro valves aka rt valves. There's a stainless rt valve and an aluminum one. Alongside a classic am/mm valve. Whichever you choose to go with, they are still good ones, although the classic valves have a couple of minor hiccups the rt valves eliminated. It's still a good valve regardless.

I have all kinds of classic mags here if you want to start with something cheap. My used guns will be just as good as a new one.

Tuna, on your site you list a pro classic for sale as a complete gun. What's on a pro classic?

[jbtamu1011]

I have a question about air source. I've read you could use CO2 or HPA with the classic mags, preferably HPA since it's easier on o-rings. What tank is good to use with Mags? 3000psi or 4500psi? I know the cubic inch spec is how much the tank can hold. Also, is there any particular regulators on the tank that I need to look at for? This is probably going to open up a whole other conversation and opinions as well

68 cu 4500psi is sufficient, ninja systems I heard were real good to use. As long as your output is between 700 - 850 psi, you should be good.

Whatever you want. The complete guns have been out of stock for a few years now. I build them all from scratch now.

You said the above...never saw an all stainless RT valve.

[Gundam V]

Oh, didn't catch the wording of that, that's what came out weird. Fine...... when I said stainless rt valve, I meant the front portion is stainless and the rear part is aluminum. On an x-valve only the power tube portion is stainless, iirc. You knew what I meant....... :P

Would I ever need to be operating at a higher psi?

[Gundam V]

If you want a more reactive trigger, than yes. Other than that, you dont need to go higher than stated.
