What Is A Smartmag!?

[Micromag man!]

What is a Smart Mag, is it the gun or the valve, cuz if its the valve than im guessing Retro valve is better?

[pip_999]

body

as far as i know its just a different type gun
and it has the same stock valve as a classic 68

[Nitroduck]

Smart Mag = An Automag made by Smart Parts in the mid 90s. It had a new valve in it to lower pressure......SPs first "low pressure" gun.........

Not a bad gun, but still....Not an RT Valve

[Aliens-8-MyDad]

did it really lower the pressure that much?

[a_malfunction]

Nah, it didnt lower it by much. I've never shot one, but I've heard that they were very prone to shootdown.

The smart mag is pretty much the same as a basic 68 automag, except the smart mag's AIR valve is bigger- so it operates at a lower pressure, but it's less efficient and supposedly even has a slower recharge rate but I can't verify that.

can i see a pic?

[echoes]

There's not much to see; they look pretty much like a normal mag, except that it says Smart Parts on the AIR Valve.

I got one and it's the pretty much the same as a normal Mag,
the valve is different and came with some extra stuff (AA barrel, benchy trigger frame w/ Smart Parts printed on the back)I bought it used so i'm not sure exactly what it had on it new.

But man, is it a gashog!

I've heard running microline would starve the valve but i used it for a while with no problems. Went back to my SS hose for cosmetic reasons though.

I don't notice any shootdown. Runs perfect.

I took a pic of the valve, but the film is still in the camera. Mine is pretty old and the etching on the valve is pretty worn, so i doubt it'll turn out good. I'll post it when it gets developed.

well,

i own a smart mag too and it runs at abought 30 psi less then a normal mag..THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE IN ANY THING WITH A SMART MAG..i get the same amount of shots per tank as the next mag..BUT!! i got splash ano and a aa barrel+ wood grips
so it looks freakin nice. Anyway dont beleive the hype it like a normal mag.
BEEFY.

[BEEFYSAUSAGE]

well,

ok here it is..

[TITAN]

uhhh? beefy thats not a smartmag... smartmags have a small black box on the side of the valve

[XspyX]

I believe the black box on the side is called the "magic box" and does the same thing. The smart valve has everything internal and nothing outside.

[SqueegeeKid]

Mine doesn't have a black box on it.
xspyx hit the nail on the head.

[BEEFYSAUSAGE]

yes its a smart valve

yes its a smartmag..
