A-5 RT question

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I have a Response Trigger installed on my A-5 and it is dialed in to the sweet spot. When I run the marker off my remote (Pro Caps remote line with slide check,) I get nothing -- shoots as it would stock, without the upgrade. If I run the marker with a CO2 tank directly, I have no issues and it works fine. What gives?    Any suggestions? Thank you!

	Is the remote broken?

	It pressurizes and I've used it with both my A-5 and BT-4 Assault -- so it works. But when I am using it, my RT shoots like a normal semi-auto. I've tried "dialing" the RT in while I have the remote connected but I get nothing -- single shots. If I switch out to a direct connection with a CO2 tank, it works like a charm.

	Check the small o-ring at the top of the piston unit in the pistol grip. It is just behind the trigger assembly. The slightest nick in this o-ring will cause your response trigger to act as if you didn't have one. Drove me crazy before I figured it out. I needed a magnifyer to see the nick. Mine would work fine with a completely full tank but after half a hopper it would just be semi auto. Could be your remote lowers the pressure enough to cause the same malfuntion. Be sure to give the o-ring a coat of lithium grease before you put the upper receiver on.

	If it is working without the remote and not with it, it can only be that the remote lowers the pressure enough to not let the r/t function properly. The remote might be letting the liquid co2 expand so much that the pressure drops. The r/t for some reason works best with co2 than with HPA. This is most likely because the co2 is at a higher pressure when it has a lot of liquid in the tank. What size tank do you use? A 20 oz should let you be able to keep a high enough pressure.

	I am currently running a standard Pro Caps coiled remote with slide check and a 20oz CO2 tank. I was going to take my A-5 and remote to my local airsmith today and get their opinion, since all my o-rings are intact (in the marker, piston, and remote slide.) Before I was going to leave to take it in, for S & giggles, I attached the remote, pulled the trigger, and had no issues; it shot like it should. Is it possible that the weather will play an effect on my remote as it does the air source? Are there remotes available with a larger diameter hose? Maybe that would resolve my issue. I guess another option would be to look into adding a expansion chamber or regulator.

	If it's really cold out, the co2 won't go to a high enough pressure and then the R/T won't work.
