Matrx questions

[magman007]

Well, as some of you may know, and others may not know, i sold the sfl e-mag, to purchase a blue to silver fade Toxic matrix(pics are being taken this weekend and will be up next weekend)

well, all the other matrix owners boards are a little touchy if you ask something that has been asked before, and none of them have a matrix starter faq, so i was hoping to get some answers.

first off, lets ask, what are the fastest and most efficient back/foreward pulse settings? i had heard that 12/35 was the key? is ths true?

also, is the idea behind the SCM mod, that you set it once and forget it?

also, what modifications do you reccomend? the gun came with a leethal backwall, but that appears to be it. im planning on getting the c4 to replace it, or the leethal spacer, so the leethal mod works correctly, which would you all reccomend?

also, what is the most reliable way to set the PBC LPR?


ans, im assuming i have the "centerflag" reg. how do i adjust it? is in up and out down? or vice versa?

thanks for your help guys, and for your information, i havnt abbandoned AGD or mags, i still have my Sydarm, and my Flatline

go with 14/45 for your pulse settings.

sorry have never heard of the scm mod.

stay with the lethal stuff, but get a free flow bolt kit.

you should set your lpr every time out. air the gun up turn the lpr out until the gun doesn't cycle then turn in until you can shoot fast and it cycles, plus a half a turn.

if it is the centerflag reg , out lowers , in raises,

Pulse settings need to be tuned individually depending on what mods you get. Since you say you are getting the C4, hold off on playing with the pulse settings till you have everything in. Fastest will not be the most efficient. You will need to find the middle ground preference for you, whether it be slanted one way or another.

SCM is a self adjusting LPR and a good one at that. Just like any AKA product, however, it requires a break in period. Some people (like myself) prefer to have complete control over their pressure settings, so if you are a perfectionist, you might want to stick with the PBC or maybe go mini trinity.

Upgrades for the Toxic:

Eyes (if you didn't get them)
C4
Evolve bolt kit (similar to FF but is delrin and claims better consitency)
CP or Sidewinder reg if you don't already have one or the other.
And make sure you turn your flatline down below 500. Matrix inlines are low pressure, so you can theoretically improve consistency and longevity of the inline.

Two ways to set the PBC:

Turn it in till there are 2 or three threads showing, and then slowly turn it out as you watch the velocity over a chrono until you see a drop in velocity, then screw it back in half a turn and set the set screw.

After you get used to it, you will be able to do it the easy way, which is to turn the LPR out almost all the way, and then slowly screw it in while pulling on the trigger till you hear the marker cycle (it shouldn't shoot if the LPR is turned out out). When it cycles, the bolt should stick. Don't touch the trigger when the bolt sticks, just slowly turn the LPR till you hear/see the bolt sucked back into the open breech position, give it a half turn from there, and then set the screw.

Centerflag is in up out down. If it is all the way in and you are not at 300 fps, take the spring cap off and stick a dime in it. It will act as a spacer to compress the spring enough to get another 20 or so FPS.

Congrats on swallowing the red pill. (if you don't get that, watch the first Matrix movie).

No Skillz I appreciate your Reply, and yes, i took the redpill voraciously, i worked and stressed alot to get this gun into my hands. Right now, what should i set my pulse settings to? as i said, they are at 12/35 but no mods(except the odd lethal backwall) are in the marker....

[yeahthatsme]

best things to know:

from what i hear, the 14/45 settings are the most efficient pulse settings.


the best way to set your lpr is as follows:
1. turn it all the way in(this may cause the gun to stop firing due to the way some of the lprs are set up, if it does turn the lpr out a bit until it works)
2. set your inline regulator and chrono the marker to where you want it.
3. unscrew the lpr nob a quarter turn at a time chronoing after every turn, when the velocity has a significant drop off turn back half way in(more if need be) and your all set!

you will need to do this every time you re-set your inline as the pressure that the lpr puts out is dependent on the inlines pressure. the AKA SCM does not need to be set every time you adjust your inline so it is more convenient.


besides that congrats on getting a NICE marker!

[yeahthatsme]

oh, and no skillz, the evolve bolt kit no longer includes the delrin main bolt.

as for mods, what no skillz posted pretty much covers it, unless you want a 90* frame or something...but thats preference...

Hmmm... I just may have to get a Matrix now just so I can understand what you guys are talking about...

Hey Toxic Dave, was it you guys that donated that LCD matrix to the shatner auction?

[cockermatt]

Since everyone answered the questions, I thought I would throw up a pic of my trix. I am just excited about my new camera. haha

[edweird]

haha what is it not in good working order?

[edweird]

The ACE is having problems... but I knew that before I bought it.

I worked something out with Rob and have him on retainer for this so I will put him to work once I stop staring at it.
