Topic: A5 low fpsPosted: 21 September 2005 at 9:09am |

I have an a5 with no special internal stuff. It has a flatline barrel
and i got a 32degrees stock with built in regulator. With the stock on
the marker i cant adjust over 200fps. no matter how much i adjust the
screw. with the stock off and the normal back on, i cant adjust above
or much around 240fps. ideas?

I presume your stock doesn't have a built-in regulator, but a built-in rear velocity adjuster. These things can cause problems, as in your case where the in-stock RVA is not putting enough pressure on your drive spring. You may need to replace the stock with something different. But, first, as The Guy noted - is your forward velocity screw adjusted properly? You cannot use the RVA only. |

yea i know how the forward velocity adjuster works. back it out to let
more air by. but why would i still shoot weakly with the normal rear
put back on it? my spring looks fine.

The spring may look all right but put it next to a new one. I'll bet you'll find it a bit shorter than a new one. I had a similar problem and a new spring brought it back up. I measured a new spring and it measures 4 5/16 long.

I've also seen the front bolt o-ring to be a cause to a drop off in FPS. I had an a-5 that would hit above 235 fps and inspected it. The front o-ring looked alright but I changed it anyway and it jumped over 300+ fps .

Check for leaks and obstructions generally. This problem is almost always either a leak/obstruction problem or a drive spring problem.

You may need a stronger drive spring. If this is the case, next time,
make sure your gun is not left in the cocked position because that will
make the spring weaker since it's being compressed constantly. Instead
of buying a new spring, you can also insert a BB in the spring and get
the same effect.
Good luck |
