I hate to be such a noob with some of these questions but still need to know. I bought a A-5 with responce trigger that is in great shape from a trusted person and the gun works fine. I also got adjustable M4 style stock. The pin in the M4 stock that the spring slides over does not seem to be as long as the orignal pin and when instaled it does not put the bolt forward as hard. There were also two very small silver parts that fell out of the M4 style stock and I dont know were these go. Do I need to reinstall these small parts or do I need a diffrent spring. Also what is the best set up for running remote right into the gun or is a spec ops air through stock work well. Thanks for any help. ------------- Even Heros Have the Right to Bleed |

Yes reinstall those silver parts behind the pin in the stock. they make the spring come out further to give you the power you need from the spring. I prefer running a remote into the ASA because if something happens to my remote I can just switch it up to gun on. ------------- Stay low, run fast, and hope that paintball doesn't hit your... http://www.deltasquad.info/">

Normally, if a stock has a built in spring guide, it means that an RVA (rear velocity adjuster) is included in the stock. If present, the RVA can be used to increase/decrease tension on the main spring to alter velocity. If you post a pic of the stock, someone on here should be able to tell you for sure. If you know the make of the stock, you may also be able to find a schematic/instructions on the internet. If you do have an RVA, it can be used in conjunction with the stock velocity adjuster to tune your marker for maximum efficiency. If you do not have access to a chronograph, there is no point in adjusting/altering the marker until you do since you won't know what velocity you're firing at anyway. As far a running remote; personal preference plays a large part in how you do so. My recommendation is to try the marker without the stock first (with the tank on the marker) if you have the endcap and see how that feels. Then try it with the remote line going into the ASA to see if you like that better. If neither of these is satisfactory, then it might be time to spend money on additional parts. -------------
