CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION This chapter provides a description of the 68MICROMAG, its components and general information regarding its operation. 1-1 DESCRIPTION The 68MICROMAG (and its variants - Competition, Tournament, Arenaball, Plus and Deluxe, ReTroValve, Micromag 2000) is a lightweight, compact, semiautomatic paintball gun manufactured under license from AIRGUN DESIGNS INC.,(makers of the 68AUTOMAG, MINIMAG, RT AUTOMAG, RT PRO and E-MAG paintball guns). Like the 68Automag, the 68MICROMAG utilizes an A.
Maximum Approved Muzzle Velocity Rate of Fire 300 fps 12.6 rounds per second maximum 1-3.

CHAPTER 2 OPERATION AND FUNCTION This chapter discusses the operation of the 68MICROMAG and its' function when gassed and loaded. 2-1 OPERATION The 68MICROMAG's operations include loading, unloading, gassing, degassing and shooting the paintball gun. The 68MICROMAG uses a high pressure pneumatic regulator and valve to fire a .68 caliber paintball. A CO2 or a regulated compressed N2 or compressed air tank is attached to the regulator via a pressure hose.
WARNING: Whenever and where ever paintball guns are used it is mandatory to use Paintball Approved Barrel Plugs. WARNING: Never place your finger on the trigger or inside the trigger guard unless you are planning to fire the gun. WARNING: Never look down the barrel of a gun. If you are working on the gun (for maintenance or cleaning purposes) it is highly recommended that you wear paintball approved safety goggles.
When the gas flows into the ON/OFF chamber, the gas pressure pushes the ON/OFF PIN, which in turn depresses the rear of the trigger sear. This action raises the front portion of the sear which captures the bolt and pushes the trigger into the 'firing position' (Usually audible as a faint 'click'). The bolt, which is held in position by the sear, seals the valve, preventing gas from flowing down the barrel. The gun is now ready to fire.
tank where the two meet: if the two halves of the mark separate at all during removal, you can easily observe it by watching the mark. Nail polish or a flourescent paint should be used to make this mark, as can an indelible, magic marker made for use on metal. You can also maintain safer tanks by checking the valve every time prior to filling: using your hands ONLY, attempt to remove the valve from the tank; if the valve moves or unscrews from the tank, do not fill the tank.
2-9. ADJUSTING THE VELOCITY The 68MICROMAG'S velocity is adjusted by turning the VELOCITY ADJUSTING NUT located at the rear of the A.I.R. valve (see diagram). NOTE: To properly adjust the gun's velocity a chronograph (velocity measuring device) will be required.
NOTE: some regulated compressed N2 or compressed air systems are supplied with 'pre-set' regulators. These regulators output a fixed pressure and can not be adjusted. In most cases these types of tanks are set to output between 800 and 850 psi, which should be more than adequate for most users. If you are using one of these products and feel that you need a higher output pressure from the tank, please consult the manufacturer.
CHAPTER 3 MAINTENANCE Proper maintenance of your 68MICROMAG is important to insuring proper function and long life. This chapter discusses the correct procedures for cleaning, lubricating and maintaining the gun. 3-1. Disarming the Gun Follow the procedures found in Sections 2-2 SAFETY, 2-4 UNLOADING and 2-6 REMOVING THE PROPELLANT TANK for instructions on how to disarm the gun prior to performing maintenance and cleaning operations.
All exterior surfaces of the A.I.R. valve assembly should be cleaned. The bolt and bolt bumper (large oring at the base of the power tube) should be removed from the power-tube and cleaned. The outer surface of the power tube should be cleaned. The interior of the body can also be cleaned at this time. To lubricate the air valve, it is recommended that you use Pro-Lube or Autolube, oils which have been specifically designed for this gun. Turn the A.I.R.
Drop the regulator spring pack out of the regulator body. Insert the 7/64 inch allen wrench through the hole in the front face of the regulator body. Gently apply pressure to the allen wrench to push the regulator piston out of the regulator body. (5) Disassembling the Powertube Use a nickle, quarter or similar-size coin to unscrew the brass powertube tip. Use the pick or small allen wrench to remove the powertube spring or spacer. Use the pick to remove the powertube o-ring.
3-4. REASSEMBLY. NOTE: A diagram for the reassembly of the ON/OFF valve and has been laser engraved directly onto the A.I.R. valve body. This can be followed easily by matching the parts to the diagram and assembling those parts in the order indicated. (7) Reassembling the Grip Using the phillips screwdriver, replace the grip panels. (6) Reassembling the Sear Please refer to the accompanying diagram for instructions on how to reassemble the sear.
Line the A.I.R. valve (bolt end in) up with the back of the gun's body, so that the guide pin (see diagram) is line up with the slot in the body. Push the A.I.R. valve into the body, turning it clockwise slightly when the guide pin meets resistance. Replace the field strip screw. Reconnect any gas hoses.
