I was wondering how often you have to lube the O-Rings. I was also wondering how often you should totally clean the gun. And for anyone that knows about the "Vortex Mod, Lightening Rod, and QEPH" if they require any special cleaning. And where to lube inside the gun. I have a tippmann A5 w/ Response Trigger. Thanks. |

You should lube the O-rings after every game, or at least throw oil in the ASA. I clean my markers after every game, but you dont need to. I've seen people play with markers for years and never clean/oil them at all, so its up to you. If you get the TechT mods I dont believe you have to do much more, but it is wise to oil all of the parts so the aluminum doesn't wear. -------------

If you clean your gun after every game, you're neurotic. Put a couple drops of oil in the ASA whenever it's convenient for you. It's just not that critical with Tippmanns. |

I'm not neurotic, but I like to keep my stuff clean and in great shape. Plus, it only takes me about five minutes to do a quick clean and oil, and even less with the SL. -------------

When you say every game, do you mean every day or literally every game? Cause if it's every game, then I have to agree with hybrid-sniper, your just neurotic  .
