Keep in mind i have never worked with a mag, only fired one and that alone was enough for me to trade off my cocker for a classic i have no idea what to expect.

you know, black crude. buying it by the barrel can be expensive, but you'll go through it so quickly that its usually worth it.

Gold cup oil, or any generic paintball marker oil works fine, DO NOT us Gun oil, as in for use in firearmes, I have cleaned that stuff out of a marker before, not fun.

KC trouble free is the best if you can find it and afford it.

Mr.Redd · 02-10-2012, 12:27 AM

^ thanks !

DMex · 02-10-2012, 05:44 AM

Tri-Flow is an excellent oil too. Been using it for years now.

Mr.Redd · 02-10-2012, 12:41 PM

I'll most likely find something

should be easy enough it has a intelli frame <3 hell yes.

AkA oil has never done me wrong

rudz · 02-10-2012, 01:49 PM

yeah as long as you stick to paintball gun oil, you should be fine, everyone obviously has there favorite brands

Mr.Redd · 02-10-2012, 01:54 PM

I guess I'll mess around with alot of the brands, my first upgrade is going to be a center feed body.

lol, jew jokes will get you in trouble around here, but me personally... i love a good jew joke, everyones fair game

Just make sure it's not petroleum based. That could end badly in a failed Tippmann C3 experiment.

Alright, other than oil... if you haven't watched the old Tom Kaye videos on the Automag, you need to do so. The basics of troubleshooting the valve still hold true to this day. Just go to YouTube and search for it... I think there are 9 parts to it.

Then, we can get into the weeds as far as you want to go!

Mr.Redd · 02-11-2012, 12:11 AM

what are some basic upgrades i need to get?
