Got a Rescue Mag, with a couple of equally sad Thundercats for good measure:
As bad as that Mag looks, before i took the hoses and valve out, I aired it up first, just to see....and after an initial burst of air from God knows where, it pressurized and shot. Then I took it apart, amazed that it cycled in that condition.

Received this PsychoBalistics Lightning Sniper from Alexndl a few days ago and swapped on a few parts before I took pics. Oops. Can't wait to field it with it's big brother 2k RF which I rescued from SGW and got running again with a little help of some parts from Cunha. This community is awesome, although tends to feed the addiction lol.

Got a stock Emek from Tinman74 in trade for the 05 Ego. Already have an Emach trigger in the mail for it. Still looking for a pops and barrel but I'll use some of my extra parts for this one to build it up. I also think I might paint this body and make it stand out a little. In addition, I bought a fully upgraded one that should ship out today. One for my oldest son (in FL) and one for my future son in law to use. I really love these the Emeks!

I'm a glutton for punishment.
Always wanted one of these, and here it is.
Surprisingly nice condition, and when i first aired it up, no leaks, but the bolt wasn't cycling. so of course i took it apart, cleaned out the old paint inside, and washed and lubed the bolt, and put it all back, and now it leaks. I must have broken the seal on that pesky gasket.
Does anyone know more about these? Is there another reason to leak besides that gasket?
Perhaps I need to take the reg apart.
Ok, took it apart again, took the on/off? out and lubed the oring, put it back together and it freaking sealed and cycled, no leaksLast edited by Garyfu.70; 01-24-2023, 06:03 PM.

Those things are old enough that if someone hasn't already recently rebuilt it, several of the old O-rings are probably rotting. I would very much recommend servicing the reg- at the very least inspect and lube, and if the O-rings are heading south, swap 'em. I have reg seals and the rectangular gasket for the trigger valve, if you need 'em.

Using a u-cup seal in the shutoff is the real secret sauce for reliability on these things. You install it so the u opening is facing the front of the gun. It takes away pretty much all first shot drop and other drop off problems and they last a super long time. Urethane is still a great option for the shredding tail orings (which will still shred, just more slowly!). The u cup rings can be had from the oring store as well:

forumreader I'm going to order both u-cup and X-Ring 010's and test out both.

I think it's easy to fix, too, but the store chose to send me a whole new frame assembly, so not complaining. The little plastic housing of the switch itself broke. I don't even need it, I have the stock frame w/ guts + the silver replacement frame w/ guts + initial silver frame w/ mostly intact guts.

It's here! My goodness it's here! rawbutter did some amazing work to build this pneumag.
