    Hpa..... What tank/reg/hose. Setup do you have? How consistent is it?

    I have a p/f classic. I would like to make my gun as consistent as possible. What do you use?

    I also would like to know how you set up the hoses on your marker. I want set my hoses up so they are attractive, low profile and out of the way. If possible, please post a pic or a link to a pic.

    Thank you for your time!!!

    A.T.S
    Peace :)

      I've never really achieved great consistancy with a mag so I'm not gonna chime in with a good setup.

      However the best way to get hoses out of the way is a small drop forward, a gas through forgrip, macroline from ASA to forgrip, and then any other hose from Gun ASA to valve. You will have to take that off whenever you take out valve, so something releasable is key.

        I have a 68/4500 crossfire that works fine. Here's a picture of my gun - I'd like to shorten the hoses somewhat, but this keeps them out of the way:



        The hose to the drop aggravates me, but I can't figure out a better way of doing it.

        Consistency is about +/-10 right now.. I'm working on that :)

          Hey Shirow-- what kind of ASA do you have on your cradle there? I'm lookin to get an asa w/ on/off, but haven't really been able to find one.

            An NW one - it came with the cradle. Cost me about $50 total (for both.) It works pretty well, as far as on/offs go :)

              Well... for the tenth time in a row..I flatlined the chrono where I play at..everyshot of about 15 over the chrono was 274. No change at all..everyone of them came at 274. Everyone at the field was like..man is there something wrong with this chrono? LOL I was like..no nothing wrong..just a mag here's my setup.



              There's now a de-gas valve/QD directly on the valve.. but other than that...it's the same route.

                What did you do to get it so consistent? I've done everything I can and I'm still no better than +/-5 on a good day. Maybe having a retro valve would help, I'm still using a classic.

                    Here is mine as it currently is. I am going to change it to look more like FrAuStY's, with ss hose instead. I too have wondered if the chrono was working when two or three shot have the same reading. I rarely vary more that 4 fps (281-285).

                        You're going to vary at least +/- 2 fps on the chrono, just because there's no way for it to be perfectly the same every time.

                            I Agree because paint balls are not that consistant.

                            What Hps will give me +/-2 fps on my mag?

                              in your effort to make thinkgs tight, be careful with the bend radius of the hose, different hose is rated to a different radius. aka no sharp bends, just be careful
