BONEisAgod, your post is kind of useless here unless you provide some information about the nubbins. Nice gun though. I still wouldn't call it "(Tricked out the ***)"

This is for feedback on the new plastic nubbins.

When you get your new plastic nubbins this is what you should fill out.

Helping, not flaming

Gun type: Automag P/F
Barrel Used: Smart Parts two-piece (very old)
Bolt: Long Nose bolt
Loader: 12v revvy with intellifeed to Intelliframe
Air System type: Crossfire 68
Air System Input: 800 psi
Installed: 11/12
Approximate number of shots: 1200
Paint used: 32 Degree Competition
Bore Size: I really don't know
Paint Breakage: One barrel break (not breach).
Any problems: None. Actually forgot I was playing with a replacement part.
Other: Rainy day, 90% humidity, 67 degrees.

Observations: I noticed that the first 10 shots over the chrono curved around as if I had previously broken a paintball in the barrel, but the barrel was dry. Don't know what that can be tied to; but the subsequent shots were straight.

The one ball-break was down the barrel. I am not sure if it was due to the nubbin (this break was within the first 100 shots of the day) or over-brittle paint. It cleared well and I didn't have any problems the rest of the morning.

[scenario skwirl]

only problem i encountered was that the orings didn't sit all the way in the barrel making it hard to get the barrel back on, sometimes stretching them pretty bad.

A special thanks goes out to Dubstar112 for sending me two of these. He is truly a generous fellow AOer. Thanks again Dubstar112.

I did try one of them this weekend in my Freak. Shot great no problems except for the short end that pops out of the back Oring when I removed the barrel. Otherwise it fit nicely in the slot with no trimming like some of you have reported. I had absolutely no problems with the thing except its just a bit too short. I fired a full hopper of Powerball pearl at targets with the thing. I pronounce...I LIKE EM!

A Magical thing did happen to one of them though. More on that later.

Any problems: the the end of the nubbin slipping out from under the o-ring. A single layer of electrical tape over the nubbin under the o-ring solved that.

I broke a couple of balls out at the country club but I think I just need to sand it down a bit more and I think my bolt is screwed up and that may have helped with breaking thew balls
