If CO2 tanks had guages, you would see those guages move as well.

I was thinking about polishing internals...What else would i need beside a steel wool? And IDK about HPA because my local field uses them and when firing you can watch the air gauge go down.  I play once a month from 8 in the morning till 6 in the afternoon using co2. 1 20oz co2 last me most of the day. 

Sounds like a lack of maintenance by the local field.

CO2 typically does allow for more shots per tank than HPA, but HPA is considerably more consistent.  I think every field that I have played at has had an all day air fee that is somewhat reasonable compared to single fills on CO2.

Wow, I just reread the description and realize you mention having over $400 into this marker and it doesnt even have an E-grip?? Holy Crap Batman!

Don't waste your money on "upgraded internals". They will do nothing but empty your wallet. No significant increase in performance/durability and in some cases may actually lower performance. For an upgrade that will actually make a difference and not just add weight and tacticool, look into an HPA tank.

Hey guys I wanted to update all of you on my 98 custom platinum series. I have put about $425 into this gun and I am still gonna keep upgrading it. I will show you some pics of it now. Tell me what you think and if I should add anything. I am thinking about adding a bipod and upgrading internals. :) Happy Valentines day!



sorry for big pics... took with my IPOD
That is what it looks like now :)
