A-5 problems, RT and barrel

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Okay, so I bought myself an A-5 off eBay (I know, probobly a bad
decision). It came with an expansion chamber, response trigger, double
trigger, and a SmartParts Progressive barrel, all installed. I take it
out to shoot a hopper or two, just to get the feel of it. First off,
the pin of the response trigger that pushes the trigger out often (a
lot) won't reset itself, and just sit as if you had pulled the trigger
without an air supply attached. Also, I can see a good deal of CO2
coming out of the end of the barrel after each shot, but I'm not sure
if thats just me not being used to it (I have a 98C with a CMI
Tru-flight Quiet Barrel, barely see anything when you fire). If I point
the gun towards the ground, a ball will actually roll out onto the
ground.  I  REALLY need help
with these problems. In all honesty, I don't have the time or the
technical competence to figure these out on my own. Help!

	Ball rolling out- missing detent visible gas- probly the temperature, or lack of barrel porting stuck pin, use lithium grease in the R/T piston.

	On my a-5 when i have a full tank of Co2 i have lot of gas come out of the front of the barrel for the first 25 or so shots. Make shure the R/t is greased. Buy a new ball detent.

	You may also need to adjust the air to the RT...

	Also check the O-ring at the top of the response trigger in the pistol grip. If this is damaged when connecting to the upper receiver you will not have a seal and the response trigger will not work. Even a small nick is enough to give you problems. The ball rolling out of the barrel is a broken or missing dentent.
