Parts not manufactured by Airgun Designs
In evaluating in-house repairs, we have found that about 20% of the time we
are fixing problems caused by modifications and/or aftermarket accessory parts
installed in our markers.  In most cases we must replace these aftermarket parts
with our own parts to make the marker work again.  We are sure you can see
that this is very unfair to us and eventually to you in higher prices.  We will no
longer fix markers for free either under the limited warranty...

full lock. The regulator nut is on the back of the valve body and requires only one
turn to adjust from 200 to 300 fps. Air venting out of the back of the regulator
indicates that the internal blow-off valve is responding to over pressure in the
system and the velocity should be turned down.
Field stripping is accomplished by unscrewing the field strip screw underneath
the frame after removing the air supply. THE TRIGGER MUST BE PULLED TO
SLIDE THE VALVE BODY OUT. There is a locking pin for...

This was a tough list but the team, undaunted, used the two years of accumu-
lated knowledge and evaluated sixteen different combinations of valves and
bolts and focused on what was soon to become P3. We knew that pressure in
the tank could vary as much as 100% and the only way to get everything
consistent was to incorporate a pressure regulator that would provide consistant
velocity and infinite velocity adjustment.  Second, any air not coming out behind
the ball would be wasted and would...

rapidly, the pressure in your tank drops causing the  CO
2 to boil, the steam goes
into your paintball marker’s air chamber, you fire the paintball marker discharging
the air chamber behind the ball (dropping pressure again), the steam boils into
gas (steam is still a liquid and boils into 30 times its volume in gas) and the ball
velocity varies. Switch tanks and you now have warm steam going into a cold
paintball marker and, just like the mirror in the bathroom, you get liquid condens-
ing...

rear of the frame. To remove the valve body you must FIRST pull the trigger and
THEN pull the valve body out. The valve body has a pin that slides in a Z-shaped
slot in the rail. To remove the valve body pull it straight back 1/4 inch, rotate the
valve body slightly(being careful to keep the 68AUTOMAG logo aligned). The
valve body should then pull straight out the back, opening the paintball marker
for cleaning.CLEANING AND MAINTENANCETo quickly clean the paintball marker without disassembly...

BARRELThe barrel on your 68AUTOMAG PowerFeed and MINIMAG is made from the
same aluminum stock as the famous Bud Orr Sniper™, long known for its
accuracy. The barrel lock is a stainless detent pin mounted in the paintball
marker rail. To remove the barrel, twist the barrel counter clockwise one-quarter
turn and pull straight out. To reinstall slide the barrel up to the stop; then, while
exerting steady pressure, rotate the barrel to find the detent slot and continue to
push straight in and...

REGULATOR VALVEThe REGULATOR VALVE is the heart of the system. It is accessed by unscrew-
ing the VALVE BODY (which has the air inlet) from the REGULATOR BODY
(which has the velocity adjusting nut). Once unscrewed, you will find the REGU-
LATOR VALVE and SPRING protruding from the VALVE BODY.
The REGULATOR VALVE and SPRING are held in by spring pressure and can
be pulled out as one unit. On the REGULATOR BODY you will see a urethane
washer(REGULATOR SEAT) snapped inot its hole; this is the...
