Decision...'Mag or no?

[Automaggot68]

Thanks anyway Enemy. I don't really want a rental valve as I understand that getting it beyond 275-280 fps isn't possible.

Uhm.
A Rental valve is simply a Classic valve with 'Field Rental', or 'Rental' Etched into the Body of the Valve. I have a mag with a rental valve, and it has NO trouble hitting 300fps, and over.
I dont play with tat Velocity, but for the point of fact, It has no trouble doing so.

Would I be satisfied with the performance of a Classic 'Mag with the above circumstances at a max 3-4 bps fire rate?

YES, at that rate you will be fine. Us old S.O.B.s[tourny team] were shooting classics faster then that with co2, set up like you said.

see Rogue or Tuna for a good deal

I didn't know that. I did some searches here at AO on rental valves and thought from what I read that the velocity was capped. My bad...

Not true.

Classic Rental valves can't take the Level 10 without modification. A flow restrictor is in place to make sure the gun doesn't shoot overly hot. You'd need a qualified machinist to drill it out.

When I get home, I can get you pictures of my Rental Valve, if you want proof.
I'll crack it open, and even compare it to another classic valve that I own. It's identical.
The Valve is a Classic Valve,with the logo buffed off (there are still traces of it) and 'RENTAL' stamped on it.

To answer your first question...


Expanison Chamber - Anti-Syphon - Remote Line


If you have all three of those you will NEVER get liquid in your gun. But you will be fine with just an expansion chamber and an anti-syphon

[Automaggot68]

Can ya put a lvl 10 on it?

To be honest, yes. It's on there.
After i bought a Reloader B, I ditched the Lvl X on my Xvalve, and replaced the parts on the Rental Valve. Does it work? I have no idea if it does, i dont use that valve anymore.

NEVER antisiphon a tank on a remote. The tube will siphon the liquid out of the bottom of the tank. Only use an antisiphon OR a remote tank. One of those used with the x chamber should do the job. And palmer blazer are wonderful on C02, and im sure all of their pumps are the same high quality. (wanna buy a blazer pm me )

we tried on the rental vavle it woulnt work! i even tried putting the back half of my real classic to test to see if it was the reg piston but that did nothing either!!

I just won an auction on eBay for a nice PF left 'Mag. Time will tell if I made the right decision but I did get a chance to shoot another PF left 'Mag the other day on CO2 and an expansion chamber. It shot very well and I was impressed.

So starts my journey as an Automag owner.

Congratulations. Welcome to the wonderful world of Automags.

[JKR]

Thanks! I have received the 'Mag and although I haven't played a game yet, it seems like a very well-made and accurate 'gun. Some Marbs now reside against the side of a tree in my backyard and I am looking forward to sending more there soon.

It is a Classic valve with serial number CF52608. Does anyone have any idea the age of my 'gun? It is in very good shape (seems almost new) so I am guessing it isn't too old. How many shots can I expect before the sear or bolt needs to be replaced?

Thanks for the welcome! I believe I am going to enjoy being a part of the Brotherhood of the Automag.

good choice!

About the lvl x debate, if youre going to be shooting at 3-4 bps, all you need to not break a ball is a ricochet AK, not a lvl 10. i mean, come on, the classic valve's top bps capability is like 10, right? so why would you need lvl 10 if you could just get a loader for cheaper that can outfeed the gun?

[SAW]

Loaders are not the only reason for breaks. Level 10 is great when using more brittle paint, less of a mess.
