| What should I be greasing in my A-5 for maintenance? I always put a couple of drops of oil in ASA but I am not sure what the difference is or where I put the grease. |

don't need to grease anything. If you wanted to lube the sucker with Dow 33, Sleek, or any of the other products on the market, it'd pretty much be a waste of money due to the fact that the A-5 has pretty loose tolerances isn't filled with circuitry that would potentially short if oil and contaminants leaked in. Stick with some KC, Gold Cup, or Hoppes #9 with the asa and you're good. ------------- <Removed overly wide sig. Tsk, you know better.> |

Use oil in internals. Use grease on regulators. ------------- http://www.anomationanodizing.com - My Site

| triflow is god when it comes to oil. I have to use it on my timmy and i use it on evey gun. while working at a local pb field i used it on all a5 and 98 and found for small problems it fixed it and help greatly with it performance. you can pick it up at ace hardware or off the internet. |
