should I put money into my mag??

You don't want to dunk the mag in water and THEN fire. That'll blow water EVERYWHERE.

Dunk it a few times, take it out and THEN fire it. (that way you don't get water in the valve. )

i was wondering if i could do that. so after i play, i could've just dunked my mag into a tub of water to clean it? it has to be gassed up tho right? so i dunk my tank and everything into it? will that clean the bolt and spring and stuff inside?

and can i do the asme wtih like spyders?

Yes, you want to have the gun gassed up.

As for dunking the tank, no need.Just the gun will do.

A precaution though- take out the frame screw and put some grease on it (threads mostly). This will protect it from rust. (It's alloy steel, not stainless and will get a rust coating)

Ok, for starters, the xvalve comes with Lvl 10 and is only 225 when you trade in your old valve. That being said, you can find an old mag on this forum and upgrade like so:

Old powerfeed mag: $160
Xvalve: $225
Y-grip, or Igrip: $120
ULE Body: $150

there you have it. That is a basic 'tricked' mag... about $500. All mechanical, plays all the time, and can practically shoot underwater. And an extr $45 for the ULE trigger kit to get one of the lightest Mech. triggers on the market, and you're set. You won't ever have to upgrade a single thing again. Will you want to, prolly (if you're like most of us). now this may seem expensive and dumb, but look at the only other high-end mech marker out there: the cocker. You can easily buy an aftermarket-company edition cocker for $900 or more. And even after THAT people will always put other parts on it, in the quest to find the best arrangement or the most personal/one-of-a-kind setup.

Short answer: Yes.

if you get an x-valve, dont u need adjustable nitrogen tank? or a preset like the one i have (850 psi) is fine?

i was thinking of just gettin lvl 10, but looking at all this stuff on putting it together and making it work right is scaring me. the x-valve has it already in it and all set to go?

[abarnhar]

Preset is fine. You tune the LX using shims inside the powertube, not by pressure from the tank.

[Dayspring]

Actually, you tune the Level 10 with different oring carriers as well as shims (I have YET to use one).

And with ANY level 10 setup, you WILL need to do some tuning with it. Relatively simple.
