    yes they are more consistant, with a mag you don't need any regs, the valve has one built in. Not sure if they are more efficient or not.
    you also don't need any extras, just hook it up and go crazy. I have bought all my tanks except one used, and I have never had a problem. Ask for pictures and look for any deep cuts on the fiberwrap, and get pics of all sides. Ask them if they used a tank cover, because without one they can get alot of dings. I would not hesitate to buy used, check out pbreview.com before you buy to make sure you get the best for your money, from what I have seen you can't go wrong with crossfire but thats just my opinion, but I have also used system X and ACI bulldogs with no problem even though the reviews aren't so hot on those last two. Also most people selling on the forums have feedback check that out first, make sure its all positive, same with ebay etc.

      one more thing with the tanks try to get one thats rated to 4500 psi rather then 3000 it will obvously go alot further because it can hold more pressure. Not that it really matters for me because the paintball shop here won't fill past 3000 anyways . Also if you are going to buy one check if it comes with a cover because that will run you another $20-$40 too this doesn't seem like a bad deal http://www.automags.org/forums/showthread.php?t=203747 (hope i'm allowed to post links to others threads )


      Also if you want an expansion chamber I will send you one for free, you just pay the shipping.

            here are the pics of it, some scratches around where I had a macro line connector in it, but other then that its in pretty good shape for being about 5 years old. Not sure what kind it is sorry i'm no help there. I'm not sure for your mag but you will need a vertical adaptor, I have one of those too but its rusted onto an old rail of mine and I couldn't get it off... sorry. you can email me yoru address too if you like [email protected]

              I'm not sure if i can use that... i have an old classic, so i think i would need some sort of adapter for that wouldn't I? (ss hose in and one ss hose out) is that the verical adaptor you mentioned?

              I think that is the exact same one i had on my spyder that I gave to my lil bro

              here is a link to pics and info of my new purchase... take a look, I would love to know what you think, I got it for 125

                Welcome to AO

                Not a bad buy for 125. You currently have a foregrip on the rail. (The thing that comes down in front of the trigger frame) You can replace it with a verticle asa, and the expansion chamber that phizz is offering you.(2 pieces) You will also need a few sets of microlines or ss tubing to make all the connections.

                As for what to use HPA or CO2 it just depends. If you are going to play somewhere where HPA is availible I would defiently invest in a bottle. (Get a steel one they are cheap 40-50 bucks) Otherwise I am assuming that you are going to one place to fill your co2 tanks and going somewhere else to play? Automags are fine with CO2 depending on the outdoor temperature. With a level 7 you should be alright to play all year long as long as you have a expansion chamber and an antisyphon tank. If you move up to level 10 you are going to have problems with it in temps lower than 50ish.

                If you are looking to buy stuff AO is defiently cheaper than EBay. Go to the misc section, and someone probally has what you are going to be looking for. If you cant find a specific part then just start a new thread that says WTB ****. Within a day or so people will tell you what they have, and how much. PLEASE check feedback. It doesnt happen much here, but the last thing you want to do is get scammed.

                  nice looking mag thats for sure, and a pretty good price.
                  I will send it out later today, I will also try to get the vertical adaptor off so that you can hook that up as well, might even throw in a couple stainless adaptors, and maybe some tubing too, will have to check on that, but I know how it is waiting for stuff and would be nice to get it all at once.
