Stock class mag freezing over. Im confused

[gortman44]

Alright, I forgot to bring my mag and cant take a pic of it now, dang it, but whatever. ... WEll I am running 12 gram from the forgirp, macro'd to the valve, blah blah blah.

WEll i was testing out the new stock class mag today and it seams to freeze over. No really. I will be shooting(pump mind you), and all of a sudden after 12 to 13 shots, no more air. At first, i thought it was just that my mag was really a gas hog as people say, but then i was like, NO, mags arnt that bad. So then i put my compressed air to it, and it went without flaw. So then i know that i have to get a expantion chamber, or do I. Can i find a shortcut around this.

Whats to do AO.

i dont think mags run on CO2

[gortman44]

Retro valved mags will not, or are not suppost to, but lets keep it to the subject here. And yes they can

Liquid is probably entering your valve. An expansion chamber is a good way to go if possible. Or you can get a Palmer's sideline stabilizer reg.

Mags, Classic or not will, only get 12-15 shots off a 12 gram.

Mags do not like CO2. If you are shooting rather fast, you will freeze up the reg. This is one of the reasons the Sydarm is not the best pistol. As someone said, get a Palmer Stab to put on it. That will keep out all liquid. With 12grams an expansion chamber is not a good idea unless you have a check valve in your 12 gram adapter. You end up wasting alot of co2 if you do not.

[gortman44]

yeah as i thought. I didnt want to put the expantion chamber on because i reolize that there would be allot of waste

[Pullman]

So you are running the 12 gram changer as vertical foregrip? If that is the case you shouldn't be getting liquid. Also the fact that you are able to run air through it immediately afterwards (without any leaks) leads me to believe that there is no problem with your valve freezing or what ever. When you twist the 12 gram back off is there still a lot of CO2 left? If not I think it may be that the mag needs a lot more gas than your 12 gram can supply. You may wanna switch to a 12 oz and play superstock.

Wrong you are. Because i would get up in 25+ range if I would wait for a while for it to turn to gas again........DO you have a mag? or tried this?

[gortman44]

well yeah but what explains the situation where if a wait for a while i will get a good shot or two out of it. I didnt have a crono, but what i saw it looked as good as befores

[minimag03]

I don't understand how it could be freezing over that bad. Since the 12 gram is set up vertical, it should have too much of the problem. You could have a small internal leak that you don't know about, and that is where your co2 is going. If not, then try the Sideline Stab.
