Can anyone recomend a good brand of remote? Also what is a remote with a slide check? I am using an A5 with an e-grip and a 16" opsgear M4 barrel, and I have a Pure Energy 20 oz bottle. |

A few friends of mine have 32* remotes and they seem to work fine. ------------- Pumpker'd; (V.) When a pump player runs up and shoots you at point blank range because you thought 20bps made you good. |

Pmi, 32 degrees, I use PMI. $35 or $40 most places. Both are great.

My personal experience with slide check remotes is that it's always the first thing to fail... O-ring, snap ring, something will go at the most inopportune time. I use a remote, but one without a slide check. I've had 4 slide check remotes, and only one without. Take that at face value... -------------

you have to keep the slide check VERY well oiled. It is the one draw back to them but as long as you do your orings should be just fine. ------------- Stay low, run fast, and hope that paintball doesn't hit your... http://www.deltasquad.info/">

I recomend getting the slide check honestly. As long as you keep it oiled it is fine. It allows you to ungas your marker in between rounds without turning off the air source completely. ------------- Stay low, run fast, and hope that paintball doesn't hit your... http://www.deltasquad.info/">

I do it once before play and once after. Thats it. Sometimes not even that much. You dont want it to gunk up just one drop goes along way. ------------- Stay low, run fast, and hope that paintball doesn't hit your... http://www.deltasquad.info/">
