Why is your back cap a different shade of green?

[XxJellyFilledxX]

There wasnt a single shade of green that was the same on that gun lol

shitty custom anno.

Does anyone know why my victory leaks slightly from the top of the frame area when I shoot it?

Nicked o-ring in the air transfer hole? Or possibly your tank has too much of a high air output.

[XxJellyFilledxX]

Im with too high output.

If anybody here wants to know how to "sweet-spot" their Marq, this is how I did it (correct me if I made any mistakes).
YOU DO NOT NEED A PRESSURE TESTER FOR THIS METHOD.

1) Back out LPR until the bolt just barely cycles.
2) Adjust the HPR until it shoots as high FPS as it can go (it was about 150 for me, but it can widely range).
3) Increase the LPR pressure until it shoots the desired FPS.

If you follow all of these steps correctly, your Marq should be shooting at maximum efficiency as well shooting smoothly. Enjoy!

That's pretty much the exact method for sweetspotting cockers, and you're optimizing the flow for the balance of the valve (efficiency of pressure vs opening force). You don't even have to back the LPR out most of the way, just enough so that you can find the best flow rate of the reg without shooting like 400fps. Good for efficiency, but I've never compared it to what people claim to be smooth setups.

Ya, I figured that this method would work for other guns, too, I just wasn't 100 percent sure, so I didn't mention that. On the other hand, I found that it was much smoother than running the gun at stock pressure, and I'm sure that it may vary from gun to gun, because no two regs are exactly alike.

Hey folks, I'm not officially a member of this group but I'm wondering if anyone here has experience using a Victory to shoot reballs? I'm hearing people say they use Victories without issues but mine doesn't seem to like them. It shoots perfectly fine using paint but after about 5-6 hoppers of reballs my gun starts like a sputter thing, I'm almost certain its the reballs and not the gun since I haven't had issues shooting paint.

In more detail, the issue is basically like this: The gun will start to sputter (for lack of a better term) spitting paintballs out at an extremely low velocity, basically just rolling out of the gun until I degas it. It honestly seems like its just because the reballs dry out the bolt so quickly, if I re-oil the bolt it tends to fix it for a hopper or two then the issue returns. Also I should note that it is much faster then the ROF cap of 10 so I doubt its a trigger issue

• The brown doughnut is in perfect condition and is free of grease.
• Dwell is stock (6)
• ABS is set to 1 (off)
• I don't think its a debounce/trigger issue because it doesn't happen with paint
• As far as pressure I can't give numbers right now because I cleaned the reg and set the pressures to stock which means I'll need to adjust to lower velocity for reball field rules (250FPS)

I plan on hitting the reball field this Friday to try and get this thing running with reballs so I don't have to get rid of it, so far I've made some small adjustments to try and see if that works, just looking for suggestions on top of this:

• Replaced all o-rings on the engine
• Bumped the dwell by 2ms (I know this usually helped with bolt stick issues when I was using my Geo2 for reballs)
• Turned on ABS (Setting 2)

I should note also, it is a V2 so it is super charged, also I've read that I should try playing reball with the eyes off because I do find the eyes get clogged rather quickly with reball grime because they are so low in the breech (would installing 4C eyes fix this? the top hole doesn't seem to ever be plugged, or would it still not work due to the first eye hole being clogged?)

Any tips would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

I use my Marq with reballs and it works wonderfully

I don't know if it will actually do anything, but I would try and play around with the LPR pressure to see if it changes anything.

I'll give that a go if the issue continues after my changes thanks
