[WarPedbaLLeR1]

[yoyoma]

Yeah you need to get a gauge and check the PSI

[Physcojosh]

Yeah you need to get a gauge and check the PSI

you need to make it flush.. then turn it in untill it cycles...

[beater of angels]

Poor prestons old gun...

[pber13]

[WarPedbaLLeR1]

another reason quests aren't well respected as quality guns (in the community).

[Humbled]

Send your gat in and $35.00, they will replace your old LPR with new one with gauge, and swap out your old Goldmember with a new one....Call for RMA first....

I just checked out your Quest, very nice. needs a different macroline color though.

As for bolts, I have the stock and a GM bolt and both are still going strong (I've had my Quest since last May, GM since last Fall).

[WarPedbaLLeR1]

thanks , yea has black macro now lol

and i think ijust had lpr to high , cause i dont have a gauge so i didnt kno

[P8ntballer808]

my gold member bolt just cracked too, i think i was running it to hot...never checked the gauge but my friend said it was over 100, but do you think fep will replace it?

[WarPedbaLLeR1]

yes just call them they will replace for free , ...yea its gay of how easy it breaks

I have no idea why you would say this. It sounds like it is totally user error. Not the guns fault. I have owned MANY guns. Actually just about all of them. The QUest is the most reliable gun I have owned. Period. The gun isn't well respected in the dopey paintball community. Not the ones that have a mind of there own. You know the community. The ones that have to shoot an Ego, Shocker and DM6 becuase they have the most financed marketing. They are not better guns. And they all require more maintenance, maybe the Ego is equal. But they are also having quality with there 07's.

The same community that bashes the PMR and Ion that have composite/plastic parts, just like 2 years after the release of the non-bashed $1500 DMC - Dye Matrix Composite....

well let me play the devils advocate, the entire body of the DMC wasnt "composite" just small pieces and there was aluminum under the composite. Plus the DMC looked better, not to be insulting but the PMR and ION have to be some of the ugliest guns i've seen.

[Nick Alder]

QFT

even with the tacky UL frame attached to the PMR, it is still hideous

there is metal under the plastic shell of the ion. just liek the dmc.

i like the pmr its super light and its not going to break or anything, so who cares. looks are personal preference.

[Nick Alder]

looks are personal preference.

yes but its pretty bad when you walk on the field, and the refs seperate the players for the game.

~kid with the noob gat, left side


that happened once, and i almost died laughing at the poor kid

[LU_aDaK]

I <3 Ions.... Sorry but they are great guns. While I dont mind the plastic it usualy comes off. I had a strange bodied ion for a long time, and my brother still does I would rock it before most shockers.

[bballryand316]

The PMR's only composite pieces are feedneck collar, eye covers, ASA, back cap, trigger frame. Get a new UL Frame, or NDZ Frame, NDZ eye covers, back cap, feedneck collar, ASA, and it's no longer plastic. Still cheaper than a DMC was.

Edit - LuAdak - I've had 4 Ions, all have been alright. Better than everyone had told me they would be.

yeah but on the dmc you dont have to remove the plastic shell to get at the bolt.

[bballryand316]

I think some people have just cut the plastic shell in the back, or bought a B.O.B. body for that purpose.

[Nick Alder]

it still doesnt matter.

since the gun is under 400, its affordable to everyone. and since its affordable, nooblet children buy them

its downfall is by its price. once noobs get a hold of guns, the popularity about the gun plummets.

the PMR is following the exact route the ion did.

the pmr's death was due to correlation



EDIT: i know the pmr might be good, but the general consensus is price = performance/popularity

[bballryand316]

I understand.

Still, it's a decent marker. I've only shot it with like 2 hoppers, but testing out ramping/semi, fast, nice, little kick, smooth feeling. I just want to use my Quest more, as well as my Omen.

What are your thoughts on the Mini? It may be a nice gun, though I'm not sure if it's up to par with all other tournament level guns.

[NYGuardians capt.]

The rail probably an awesome marker. it just looks like shit. and thats why i would rather own a shocker. the mini looks ok but i can't imagine what a nightmare it must be getting parts for it, thats why i havent bought one. I mean its hard getting parts for a quest nevermind the mini.

Yea. That's why I haven't gotten a Mini or NME yet. Though NME's can use most Timmy parts, I believe.

It looks almost EXACTLY the same as a PM7. Are THOSE ugly?
Well, maybe the stock frame is ugly, but an UL'ed PMR looks hot.

Tolerance issues!

that is the only reason i dont want a mini, they are just problem plagued!

hard on paint

off topic much? I love to watch the banter but cmon guys. Lets make it alittle bit harder for MODs to call our forum useless.... please.

hard on paint
spiking LPR

community = paintball community

The Spiking LPR is in rare circumstances and it is usually almost allways the oring. The reason the spiking LPR is a known Quest issue is it pretty much the only one except for the upgrade Goldmember breaking and that was only a small run of them before it was fixed. Would you like me to list the common problems of other guns I'm sure you love because Ollie does? Egos, dms, shockers angels ALL have specific "issues". And the best you can come up with for the Quest is an o ring you need to change every 20 cases??!! And the hard on paint thing. They are no worse than Ego's and Shockers(actually better than shockers). I know. I have owned both. Let me put it to you this way. I now own a ND NXT Shocker and had up till a little while ago a DM6. The Quest was and is still my primary gun. Of couse this is one mans opinion.

QFT, my teamate owns a DM6, and he's had to send it in 3 times in the last 4 months to get it fixed! Me, I've never had to send my gun in to get fixed, and it's never stopped working

[Nick Alder]

Your addicted to paintball when:
You walk everything with your fingers. You pretend to bunker and snapshoot ppl when goin around corners. You carry your marker with you around your house.

I like your Sig, thats the definition of me!

[LU_aDaK]

I just bought the new 07 Tru BOB powerlyte body for mine. Looks like a very sleek quality anno. And I got it for cheap. Gotta love Best offers on ebay. I have owned the strange body, which was very nice, but abit heavy.
