Automag Q & A
We need a question and answer thing. Answer a question if you can, elaborate on it, or even ASK your own.
Maybe I'll add a sticky with all the Q&A and throw in some member credits at the bottom
If you cant answer a question, just skip it and ask your own.
I'll start it off.
What is the best way to separate the valve from reg without marring it up?

When putting it back togethor should I torque it to a certain amount of pressure, or will locktite and as tight as I can make it suffice?

Same as any mag, Use the rear velocity adjuster (1/8" hex). Clockwise is higher, counterclockwise is lower.

Why are mags so damn expensive? $400 for a decent mag sure does drive me away. And don't say "quality" b/c everything else out there has quality also.

Well, I'm sorry, but it is quality. What you get isn't your normal run of the mill assembled in taiwan for $50 and sold for $300 marker.
RPG markers are all milled and annoed in the USA (to my knowledge).
First of all, mags don't suck. Why would you pay $1500 for a DM4? Speed? The mag valve can handle crazy insane speeds without dropoff. when I say without dropoff, I mean none at all.
You get a mechanical marker with the capability to shoot faster then a lot of electros. All it takes is a bit of modding.
$400 for a mag that might need $200 of tinkering to make just as fast as a Dye Matrix (without the firing modes and blinky lights of course) sitn unreasonable to me at all.
AGD is a dieing company. They need to make money. They dont sell many markers.
RPG is a small company. Rogue doesn't have the capacity to effeciently spit out 10,000 markers at a time with a few machines. his stuff is milled out from raw parts and annoed by his company.
Simply put, Rogue doesn't have an assembly line like other companies do.
Good?

Alpha i hope u didn't think i was dissing on mags. I love the thing, so unique. Heck today i saw a mag w/ lv X, karta body, 90* frame, and warpfeed, all red, looked very hot and someone mistook it for a angel (...) My biggest beef is they aren't that quick stock. I don't want to mod it out for the speed, i want it when i open the box. Perhaps i'm lazy (or maybe i don't have the skills to do it)
the assembly line sounds like a good reason for the price.

They look beter IMO. I think most of the time the other side of my gun is exposed, so having the air hoses on the opposite side would be nice.
You can still use macro and its exactly the same. The only difference is that the air hole and the X are reversed. The air is on the left side.
If you can get ahold of a left port ASA, get it. It will look much better, otherwise your have air hoses on both sides of the marker

Why does it matter that much to you? I know you want mags to become more popular so that AGD and Rogue make money, but you already have a pneumatic trigger.
Oh, and the hAir trigger was a pneumatic trigger/frame that was being made by deadlywind, but they couldn't produce it because of patent issues, so now PTP is working on one.

The Hair was Deadly winds Pneumatic trigger frame that was going to sell for around 450 from what i remember. It was stoped production because of PTP haveing the patent for the pneumatic frame.

Well, why doesn't ptp make a frame for it then?
Or you could be like alpha and do it yourself..
Ps. Did you finally finish your trigger?

PTP is in the process of making the frame and they have prototypes but they don;t have a finished product yet.
