    Let's see..........I've had my Mag for 5 years and only recently got HPA.............I think that you will be just fine. One thing to watch out for is: if you are using the level 10 bolt you will get less shots from any tank and CO2 becomes almost worthless. At least that was my experience.

      New Magger

      I recently got a mag. I'm wondering what pressure i should use. I have a nitro tank where i can adjust the pressure that it lets out. About what should I set it on? If it's too high can it cause leaks?

      Also would like to hear any other suggestions you have.

        Considering Z-man ran a 3000psi scuba tank directly into his mag, I don't believe your tank will go too high for the valve. Unless you're using a classic valve. I don't know about what they can take. As long as it's an RT style valve it should be able to handle whatever your tank can output. Just don't go under 650-700psi. Most people will suggest you stay at around 800psi.

          Set it high, the valve in your mag has a reg built in. If you set the input too low, you will starve the marker for air. 800ish psi would be my recommendation.

          I run my classic valve on CO2 with no problems. Without a reg, antisiphon tank, or decent expansion chamber. Never had it freeze on me, though I am running a single finger trigger. Max ROF I can get is about 6 shots per second.
          Yes, my Mag is made of steel.

            Classic mags were designed for CO2 use. You will be fine with an anti-siphon tank.
            I dont know why everyone is saying you shouldn't use a mag without nitrogen, but what do you think people ran in their mags in the pre-n2 days?
            So yeah, an anti-siphon tank would be good.
            Of corse he asked that question 3 months ago..
            As for tank pressure, anywhere between 700-1000 psi is fine. 850 is what most preset output tanks are at.
