    Posted: 08 May 2005 at 1:33pm
i have an a-5 which i bought not too long ago. the other day i was playing and noticed air leaking out of the barrel slowly i took it tot he guy and he said it was probably the cup seal and it was alright o jus keep playin for the night  so i did. towards the end of the night i noticed my gun started to have a coating of ice on it and whenever i shot it some excess air would come out of the velocity adjuster, end cap and air hookup for the cyclone feed anyone have any idea what this could be from? im thinkin the leak caused all my orings to become screwed up and that is the cause does anyone have any ideas on what to do as i am lost and have tried everything

Bad internals most likely.  You can try cycling a little oil through your ASA by adding 5-10 drops into your ASA and WITH THE BARREL OFF fire about 100 times.

Take it down to your proshop or send it to tippy.

Hmm sounds like something I had today, I put on my Co2 and there was a leak near the front bolt area, so I took my A-5 apart, inspected it, no O-ring breaks, re-assembled it, and it worked fine, go figure eh?

mine started doing this once early when i first bought it, oil it up and don't forget to cock the gun before putting on the tank.
