Marker Decision Help

Go With a mag you can drop them hit trees and they still work and it takes one just one Screw to get the bolt out and clean it so easy. Oh ya and if anything gose bad call ADG and there the best!

Who is ADG?




Just keep the a5, he doesn't need anythin real nice since he is balling w/ some friends in a forest. Get him a anti-fog mask for sure though.

What kind of setup would he need to get a mag up and running on Co2?? Just an expansion chamber to start of with, and then an antisiphon tank if possible??

I think Im going to try to fix him up with the mag b/c its so much simpler, and then if he ever does decide to graduate from the woods, he's got a good base to start with. It'd also be easy for him to disassemble and clean.

You think we would be able to get him a mag set up for co2 and maybe enough cash for a decent mask($40 or so) for the A5?? Im not really to sure about their value, so I want to make sure he gets a good deal.

[Falcon1]

Well all you need for a Automag is a expansion chamber
and thats it Look at this gun on ebay Comes with ok mask if X-ray is what you are looking for but its set to go on co2. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3646301994&category=47245 looks good.

I'd get another mag and run remote CO2. He'd probably love it with a gas through stock. Of course that means I'd have to fix it.

He could probably find a used mask for pretty cheap. I'll sell him my old Morph for $40 if he wants it.

No idea what the resale on an A5 is.

[Falcon1]

Well If the A-5 has some good stuff on it i would say get it. But all and all I still think any mag would be better than a tippmann.

[robertjuric]

Jeff, wanna sell me the Morph for $40?? I was thinking of getting one anyways. They have those easy change lenses dont they?? Im bout fed up with my proflex. I was just thinking of getting my lil bro the Armor or Shield.

And you mean fix it?? Or did you mean kill the reg piston and have the wrong parts to fix it?? hehe Im jus playin, you've dont a lot for my mag, I really owe you.

[Load SM5]

I killed nothing...it was already broken. Keep it up and you don't get that new one.

Morph's yours if you want to buy it.

PM'd ya

Classics work fine with C02 as long as the tank is always vertical.. Say in a harness with a remote line. I run my mag on c02 (until i get some money anyway) with a remote.. and everything works great.

We thought of keeping the A5, but have you ever tried to take one apart??....that was fun

I think Im gonna tell him to get a spyder or the like, and take the difference and buy a nice mask and some other gear.

I would say keep the A-5. Let him save up some money and buy the Egrip. I have the Egrip and flatline barrel on mine and it rocks.

And what was wrong with taking the A-5 apart? 3 pins and the grip come off. One more and the back cap come off, allowing the bolt and most of the other internals to come out. Once you are in that state, just run some warm water through it to clean out any broken paint, let it all dry, lub and put it all back together.

I only wish the other markers I have disassembled so easily!

[skife]

what do you need to "maintain" on an A-5 anyways?
You shoot the hell out of it during the day, come home at night put a few drops of lube in the asa, dry fire it a couple times and your good to go

Besides an e-grip tippy r0x0rs j00r b0x0rs

GET A BLAZER

They are made to run on C02, but function like a Cocker (only with less tinkering required for maximum performance). It's also small and light, and Palmer's stuff is always high quality. It'll also cost a little more, but a little saving/earning never hurt anyone.
