Does anybody have tips on emags?

[oldsoldier]

Hey...a little off topic...where did you get a blade trigger for the meag? I want one! Ok, back on topic....just get used to playing with it. And, if you get a warp, get used to that again. I find snapshooting with a warp a little easier, as I can keep the gun there, just move me back. Then, peek and shoot. No hopper to expose. But, play with it, have fun, and enjoy!!!

First of all, here is the Tech Tip on rounding the tip of the bolt to reduce ball breakage.

Here is the thread on the Blade Trigger for the E-Mag.

The first things you'll need are a nitro system and a motorized hopper.

The only upgrades to really look into are barrels, the Warp Feed and a foamie bolt.

Thanks for the tips, keep them coming...

I already have warp, I used it on my 68 mag, so I am already pretty well used to it.

What will the foamie do?

And plan on buying a new nitro tank, probably a flatline, I wanted to get one for a while now anyways so having one for the emag is a even better reason to but one.

And I should probably get used to the original trigger first before getting a blade trigger, has a price been set yet for the triggers?

Cleaning

How about some tips regarding cleaning and oiling?

How often, how much? Which parts to watch?

[BlackVCG]

I only use KC Trouble Free Oil on the guns I work on, I would recommend that you do the same. What I do is put about 4 drops of oil in the QD before play, cycle it with the barrel off 50 times or so and then go and play. After I'm done, I'll usually take out the valve, wipe down the bolt, pull out the on/off pin, wipe it down reassemble and put 1-2 drops of oil in the QD and cycle it through. That's good enough for routine maintenance after each time I play.

Just keep the valve oiled by oiling before and after you play and the gun will work great for a long time.

yea,keep it well mantained.....

and DO NOT lose the yellow key,cause that would suck

Lubing It

Ok, on the topic of oil/lube...

I've been using A1 Autolube in my mag for quite some time now. It works great and the o-rings seem to love it.

I gave my emag a good cleaning the night before a game, and oiled it up pretty good. I rattled off about 100 afterwards to get it worked in. I then played the next day and went through about 700 balls, and about 1000 dry fire. (It's the new gun at the field, everyone wants to try!) By about the 600 mark on the counter I was noticing a slowdown in speed, and I couldn't get the 'sweet spot' in hybrid mode. I put some more oil in the bottom line, and everything was better.

I guess the question is, does the emag dry out quicker? Or am I going to have to start using a better oil... (No, I haven't tried Kermode Concepts
yet...) Has anyone had this kind of behaviour before?

Oh, and as for a lage pack... I still have my 8+2 from the old days. Nothing like carrying 1/2 a case!

Up!

[Blennidae]

Does everyone do this?

This is nothing against Bradpalooza, but I have never heard of this:

"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."

Is there a reason for adjusting that way? Just curious.

[BlackVCG]

It's stated in all of the manuals and standard adjustment procedure to work up to the desired velocity. It's just easier to get to the desired velocity doing it that way.

Resurecting this thread to add.

Every so often, check your battery. Check the wires leading to the contacts for wear. Mine were rubbing against the sharp edge of the negative terminal, and eventually wore through.

Short circuits are BAD.

Get LEVEL 10!!!

best upgrade to a mag since the C&C

Oh and then get the C&C body lol
