    Getting air to the valve...priceless?

    I decided to go with SS braided hose on 2 of my Mag's. I bought the parts from AGD, 'cause they sell the "best stuff". I especially like their quick disconnects (QD's)

    90* nickel fitting - $6
    13" SS hose x 2 - $30
    female QD x 2 - $28
    male QD x 2 - $16
    90* swivel (non-AGD) x 3 - $30

    That's $110 for 2 markers

    Granted I've had some of the stuff "in stock" for a while, but the money was spent, never the less. It's amazing how the little things add up so friggin' fast! I rekon if you're on a budget, 2 90* macroline fittings and a foot of line will cost you under $10 per gun

    I feel your pain.

    I did the same thing but added an expansion chamber into the mix. Which meant 4 x 90*, 2 x stainless steel lines, and 1 x QD.

    All this to be able to use CO2.

    No less than 10 days later I decided to pnuemag my gun Which meant I had to switch over to HP anyway.

      But you just purchased the highest quality stuff...Mil Spec QD's...they dont get any better and will last a lifetime. Always better in the long run to buy the best.

        copy that!

        I've used a slew of the Parker brand brass QD's, they just don't stand up like the one's AGD offers

              I hear you Russ.

              I have a bunch of braided stainless segments, QD's and fittings left from past markers so I'll see if I have what I need when my 'mag arrives tomorrow. If not, I may very well go with macroline - it's so much cheaper and more user-serviceable, even if it isn't as robust as braided stainless.
