Hm... should I be oiling anything else?

Put a small amount of oil on the moving parts: rear bolt, linkage arm, and front bolt.  And make sure to get oil into the Valve.

When you put a few drops into the ASA, take off the barrel and fire about 20 shots into a rag.  That should clean and oil all the internal parts, and also get rid of the excess oil.

One more thing... now that I have an expansion chamber.. is it okay to oil through the asa? I mean the EXP Chamber is MEANT to stop all liquid...so what will happen to the Oil? And will it HURT the X-Core? (I just stripped the gun, dropped one drop of oil into the R\T Hole *leading into the "hammer" and I also dropped a drop of oil INTO the valve opening after taking it out of the powertube.

Thats a good point about the X-core... It might stop the oil getting through... I spose if you disconnect the tombstone and chuck a bit in there and a tiny tiny tiny bit into the asa to get the rest of it (I dunno if thats really nesessary), but if you bypass the x-core then you should be fine.

The bonus of going thru the air system rather than each individual part is that it goes though all the hoses including the cyclone which likes to be oiled too from time to time and gets a nice even coating on everything.

I have been wondering about putting oil in my asa. I guess I should start. I have read alot of posts about it and I know to take the barrel off and dry fire into a rag when I do. But I'm confused about Oiling the r/t. What is the hammer o-ring? do you need to unhook the control valve, tube and fitting that goes into the powertube? Won't putting oil in the asa lubricate the r/t?

Thats what I thought. I didn't think it would give the r/t all the love it needed. But I was sure it would give it some. I don't like the idea of breaking the seal of things every time I want to oil. Thats when you end up with leaks am I wrong?
