    OK, has anyones Mag EVER broken????

    I mean like you couldn't fix it. Or it caused you to miss several games. We do a lot of bragging about how Mags are "indestructible" and "never break" and to tell the truth mine really does always work. I want to see if there are some people out there who's Mags have ever failed them.

    I once used my old Retro Mag (it had a Dye SS barrel in it at the time) to brace the impact my face or forearm would have taken when I was sliding off of a muddy hill. A thick branch was coming up, and it loked like it was going to HURT. I pulled up my Mag to brace the blow, and it did.

    I thought that it would have broken, but other than my hopper flying off, it was fine.

    That's durability.

      i knew someone who had a mag that didn't work for whatever reason and ended up using it as a hammer one day to set up a sup air field.

        i took apart the piece that you are never supposed to take apart. i missed the first 5 min of one game. took the guy at the field less than 10 minutes to take apart every piece of my gun and find what i did.

            No offense guys, it is probably just mine but, I had nothing but trouble with my old retromag. It leaked all the time out of some place new every game. There was a period of about 2 months that I never had a single problem with it, but it went down on me again after that. I would clean it and inspect it perfect after every game, but it would still let me down. Then, when I sold it to my friend the gun worked flawless for him. I think it is just me.

              my mag had a few problems this summer. it was leaking all over the place, down the barrel, out the back etc. but hey, what can you expect from a gun that's 7 years old? anyway, i dropped it off at AGD here in wheeling and had it back the very next day. it works flawlessly now and i couldn't be happier. i just sometimes wish that it WOULD break down so i could have something to do with it when i'm not playing. feel like maybe getting a cocker just so i'll have something to fix.

                Dude, cockers don't break all the time, it is a common mis conception, mine has never gone down on me, and if someone takes care of their cocker good, it never will break down. All you need is a little experience before trying to fix a cocker.

                  that's the point. i didn't mean that i was gonna have to rebuild the thing after every game. i meant that i would have to maintain it. my mag requires nothing, whereas with a cocker, you can always do something with/to it. i didn't mean to attack cockers and i'm sorry if that's the way it came across.

                    The only reason my Mag kept me from playing was the macroline bursting, which wasn't even the mags fault. I just keep it clean and it never gives me problems.

                      No, I could tell by the smiley face that you were just joking, but I wanted to make sure that you knew that they don't break, and that it is just a common misconception.

                          The valve halves that screw apart. Once you have it together, you should let it be, because you could affect the regulator seat(i think that's what it is), and that's when you possibly could have shootdown and velocity problems, just because of your ignorance.

                            My mag was out of wack for 5 weeks. Spent 3 weeks of my time fixing it, then sent it to agd. I guess its ok, but i still dont know what they could've done that I didnt do.

                              well when i had to use it in a team practise in summer, i dover over a snake, and the gun kinda landed first and the grip fame broke off, the feild strip screw snapped inside the gun, i had to send it to AGD, and the asa bend out, but it was like a 15* angle adapter lol

                              and w/ micromag the ball detent has shot out 3 times, and i went to put air into it to sell it and it leaked out the barrel real hard, well i thought, well i didn't know, so my lil' bro used it and later on i found out some one put a purple proteam products spacer in, so i guess that was it.
