    Posted: 27 September 2010 at 6:48pm
I've had my A-5 for a few years, i run it on HPA, and I figure the problem is just from prolonged use but my marker wont shoot above 230-240 anymore. Could this be an actual problem or could someone just suggest the most likely pieces that probably need to be replaced. I keep it in good condition and have never opened it up so I dont think anything is broken, probably just worn out. 

Thanks.

I have the same problem. I have replaced the spring and all the O-Rings and still have the same low velocity problem. Basically the velocity screw is almost all the way out and it does not make a difference. Let me know if you have gotton a response or resolved your problem

It might be time to do a complete disassembly and cleaning/lubrication on it.

If you are not sure how to take apart and put back together here are 2 videos I used when I got my A-5 that helped alot by showing step by step what to do.
