Hey everyone,
I was out hitting some yard sales with my girlfriend yesterday and spotted a MiniMag, 2 masks, a motorized hopper, 3 barrels, and a couple of bags of "old" paint for $25. It's been years since I've played and I wasn't big into it then, just borrowing markers from friends and running around the woods. However I do know enough to spot a quality marker when I see one.

After getting home and doing some research, I'm glad I picked it up. From what I've read, it looks like the Mags are oldie, but goodie's; made to last even with some abuse. It looks like it's in pretty good condition, just a little corrosion on the trigger frame, and the safety's stuck in the on position.

Anyway, last night I looked up the owner's manual, and this morning I went to a local paintball store , filled the tank, got some oil, stripped it down, oiled it, and reassembled it.

I slowly turned the regulator nut in until the trigger popped into place. I assume this is the low end of the pressure setting, and doesn't seem to be high enough to fire a paintball with. But turning the nut even less than a quarter turn further makes it leak out the front. I've ordered an o-ring replacement kit, and I'm hoping that will do the trick.

It's pretty much stock. The only upgrade seems to be a Whispering Death front grip. My first goal is to get it working and play with it a bit. If I like it, the first upgrade I'd make is to get the Level 10.

Anything else I should consider? Questions? Comments? I'm hoping I'm on the right track to getting it working again.

Thanks.

Update:
A little oil and "persuasion" from a hammer got the safety working fairly smoothly.
