Drop or two in the asa and the bolt. Dry fire a bit to spread the love.

Is absolutely no replacement for real maintenance. Just read the manual, its all in there. -------------

if actually want to clean the A-5, i break mine down and wash everything in the sink. not the internals though. soap and water. rinse and let dry. this will get all the gunk. you'd be amazed as to what can get in there from just one day of play. ------------- www.pbteamwow.com |

Un hook your hopper and feed a squeege down the barel that way. use a ruber one the others dont seam to like to make the sharp corner. At least that is how my frined does his with out taking the gun apart. |

just put a drop or two in the Asa every other time you play and youll be fine. Also put one drop on the front bolt and then fire like five times and youll be fine. If you cant figure out how to take it apart for cleaning then pm me cause I have a very detailed set of instruction from experience. ------------- My guns name is Mr. Max in remembrance of my dog that got hit by a car: Tippmann A-5 Ricochet R-5 JCS double Trigger Tippmann E-Grip Flatline Barrel Do you have the need for speed? |

| when you run out of the factory oil, go buy some hoppes no. 9. Its the good stuff. I too take apart my gun and clean the reciever halves and stuff. Also i take apart and clean my mast. you gotta get the lens clean too. |

| With the A5, you'll have to remove the barrel for a pull through squeegee. The ones that are just rubber disks are probably the best for the Flatline. |
