Blade Trigger. Warp. One magnet instead of 3 in the grip to lighten the trigger. J&J 2 piece barrel. 4500 68 ci flatline

Ditto. Also look into getting a 12volt Revy or if you like 'em, the new Halos. You might also want to look into getting an adaptor for the charger that allows you to charge your battery from a wall socket. Currently, E-mags only come with car chargers.

Hope this helps.

Hehe, it should be interesting at our field soon... Shail and I both recently got emags. Mine just came in and his will soon be...

Perhaps some tips regarding operation and tuning? (Trigger, RT reaction, cleaning & maintenance, etc)

lots of paint

The first time out with my E-Mag, I shot 1800 rds. Only played about 2/3rds of the day. It just rips.

Morning up!

Your paint consumption will got thru the roof!!! These thing absolutely rock!!! Warp feed keeps it fed and happy, and do the bolt mod Tom asked us to do the research on!!! That's where you round of the nose of the bolt!!! Since I've done it I have not broke a single ball in almost 10 cases, and I have been shooting cheapest, most brittle paint paint I could buy!!!

[Shail]

thanks for the tips, keep them coming, and how did you modify the bolt toymyster, could you direct me to the post or send me the info.
thanks

Up for the day

well at least youre asking the right people some people ask for advice on other guns here too

I think the number one thing to do, get comfortable with it first, then adjust the trigger to suit your liking, ie...shortness, removing magnets, etc..

I would look into a fast hopper (xrev's, ricochets, and new style halos) and/or warp.

You can check the tech forum for a good way to adjust your trigger pull, and try intellifeed.

Alot of this is the same for regular Mags so if you already know it, forgive me.

I'd suggest using a quick disconnect on your valve if you use SS (I hate macro but that's up to you). That way you can remove your valve when you clean your gun after each day of play (you do clean it after each day right?) and lubricate your valve there.

Throw a couple of drops of oil in the QD connector before you play to lube the valve internals.

When adjusting velocity, adjust UP to the desired velocity. For example: You played outdoors Saturday with a 300 fps limit. Sunday, you play indoors so you gotta go to 275. Before gassing up, turn the velocity adjuster down. Gas up, chrono, and adjust up to 275.

If you get an aftermarket barrel and it won't go in, disassemble the marker and loosen the allen screw on the back of the barrel detent.

When disassembling the marker, make sure you remove the sear pin from the right side of the body rail before taking the mainbody off.

Use something to keep track of your yellow on/off key. I use a piece of twine and a clip to keep it attached to my barrel condom, some people attach it to their tank's nipple cover, others keep it attached to the grip or air line. It's up to you, just try not to loose it.

If you get a warp, ask AGD to send you a warp interlink cable, they're free.

If you disasseble the valve, you can use pretty much anything to lubricate the pressure piston spring. One of the techs said you could use Vasaline if you wanted to. It's just to keep the spring from rusting. I use synthetic bearing grease. The O-Rings REQUIRE the use of a good oil approved for paintgun use. I tried motor oil once on my Mag and it gummed up like you wouldn't believe.

I've run anywhere from 600 to 800 PSI input pressure and never really noticed much difference in the performance of the gun. Some people do, and have strong opinions on where it should be. The gun operates on ~400 PSI internally so you want a couple of hundred PSI higher going into it so the valve's regulator can function properly. Hence the 600 PSI low side.

The higher you go, the more reactive the trigger, but also the more velocity fluctuation you'll get between your first shot and the rest of the following shots in a string. Something you need to be aware of.

That's all I can think of.
I hope you enjoy your E-Mag, I absolutely love mine.
