delta 68

[john136504]

i was thinking about picking up a delta 68 just to mess around with. If i bought it what else would i need besides 12 gram c02 cartriges ? any minor upgrades ?

thanx

An extra magazine or two is handy, although not neccessary. I just pop off the cap and pour in paint from 10 round tubes. It only takes a second or two longer (just make sure you put the plug/cap back on the magazine in the right direction). 10 round tubes cost around 50 cents each.

Once the store by my place actually has black magazines in stock I will probably buy a couple more though.

I would suggest getting a spring kit so you can put a heavier spring in it. I like it stock since you get 55 balls out of a 12 gram but its only about 250fps if you switch out the stock spring with a heavier spyder spring you will get about 20 balls less per 12 gram but they will shoot A LOT farther than with the stock spring. I used the maddman spring kit, it is only a $6 upgrade.

For Battle of the Bulge I put about 400 balls through my delta. None broke and on a day like that one where the paint was more brittle then my grandmothers hip, that means a lot. I was swapping out 12 grams every 5 clips or 50 paintballs. When the autococker went down after being gummed up with paint, that little pistol kept me in the game. I plan on getting a second now.

I am having problems keeping the CO2 from leaking.... It isnt really enough to make me hate the gun just enough to get annoyed. I can't seem to keep the dial right in the spot where it wont leak...I only had this problem after I changed my springs so I am thinking maybe its because the spring is jarring the gun a lot...I may take a step down to the medium soon to see if it still jars it.

I had the same problem w/ my delta. For starters, make sure the gun is cocked when you insert the 12 gram. I also had to replace an o-ring in the valve, but once all that was done, it worked like a charm! I'm selling mine if anyone's interested right...
