I just bought my A5 about a month ago; and I've only brought it out to the field twice. I was installing a double trigger; and I tried out the pen spring mod; which worked great...untill I gassed up my marker. I screwed the CO2 in; and I could hear it running right through my gun, and out the barrel. I cocked it; and I could hear the air leaking from somewhere around my FVA, or tombstone. I tried another CO2 bottle; and I tried it both with, and without my remote... No change. I can't figure out what's wrong! I just ripped apart my marker; and tried oiling all the Orings (including the valve one); and still no change... I'm sure you guys won't know what it is with the limited information I've given you; but maybe you could lead me through some kind of trouble shooting? 'FIN |

generally when I get that leak I'm low on air. Put oil on your finger and wipe it across the face of the tombstone. ------------- http://www.anomationanodizing.com - My Site

oil it like The Guy said but you should always cock your marker before you gas it up. oil it. cock it, then gas it. see if that works ------------- www.pbteamwow.com |

Turns out the valve Oring just needed oil...I freaked out pretty bad though; I thought I messed up something involving the receiver halves when I was playing with my grip. 'FIN |
