Level 10 "carriers that worked" list thread

[sicones]

I thought that the little "divits" had to do with the black oring on the out side.

I have a #2 carrier and the stock spring in my minimag
but I havent shot it yet i will soon

[Halliday]

#2 with 2 shims and the longest spring, right now.
That may change after tomorrow, b/c I've only shot about 200 test balls in the backyard. I plan on shooting at least 500 on Sun.

Update on my carrier and shim usage. After several hundred dry fires, I noticed a light leak after firing the marker. After redoing the entire installation procedure, I have settled into the 1.5 carrier and a single shim. I must once again make the recomendation that the shims be made to the inner diameter of the power tube, as during the re-test I had two shims but had a constant leak, reoppened the lvl 10 and found another shim badly mangled (I have mangled a total of 3 shims since receiving the kit) I took out the bad shim and kept the remaining shim in to re-test and have had no problems since. I am still unwilling to stick any of my digits into the breach, the safety part of my brain screams NOOOOO! but I have had no chops or breaks out of the two cases of paint that I have put through the marker, one case being over eight months old opened! It is enough that several of my fellow AO testers have stuck their digits and tongues into the breech of their mags and fired, I believe in the product! My only fear is if I do it the lvl 10 would mysteriously malfunction! So for those who have braved the test, I salute you !

well it sounds like the 1.5 is the best working one and the only ones really being used that i know of are 1, 1.5, and 2, but see the problem with me is.....

original e-mag spring only,

1.0 to 0.0 (needs very high pressure though)
average: 0.5

[cphilip]

Up she goes....

[paintballisking]

i used the 1.5 carrier 2 shimms and the longest spring fired like a champ on my minimag with old cpsa tourney paint still need to see what it cronos

[FrAuStY]

1.5 carrier, 3 shims, longest spring. Stops on a dime.
Gun type is in my sig.

*EDIT* - Originally I got the kit up and running with 1.5 carrier. After firing about 500 rounds...it developed a small leak the first started ahppening when I help trigger. After a few more rounds it sounded like a cocker hiss..very faint. I changed the 1.5 carrier out for the 1.0 using the same o-ring that was broken in on the 1.5. Works fine. You will need to adjust it after break-in.

*EDIT* - Also found it works with .5 and 0 carriers. With the 0 you have to oil it often.

1.0 and 1.5, but 1.0 is a little tight and won't shoot sometimes (unless I use a shorter spring).

[cphilip]

Dang! So for now its like mostly 1.5's and either side of that one half step. Interesting is it not?

Please Sir may I have another!!!

[Potatoboy]

using 1.5 and 3 shims

short spring only, trying to figure out why.

[VBmag87]

I am using
-1.5 carrier
-o shims
-longest spring

[athomas]

I use a number 2 carrier. It's snug but works well. The 2.5 fits nicely but has a slight leak when gassed up.

[Grand]

I started with the 2 carrier and 2 shims had a very quiet leak so I dropped to the 1.5 and 2 shims. No leaks after a hundred or so shots and then I ran out of air. a 68/3k, a 68/45 and 2 scubas and not a single one of them have more than 500 psi in them.. grrr...


*EDIT*
Ok, I wound up having to drop to the smallest spring to get it working. so now it's a 1.5 with 2 shims and a small spring. I dropped amost 2 cases through it during a tournament on sunday and didnt chop a damn ball. my teammates were exceedingly pleased.

emag + lvl 10 + HALO = bliss

[Kaiser Bob]

Im using 0 carrier, longest spring and 5 shims with the pressure jacked up, although i started with 1.5 and that works fine as well. Oil is a good thing for the tight fit but sometimes it will freeze and you have to degass and regass which is no problem if you have a proconnect.
