How long gun lasts

[EKK23]

hey im wondering how many shots u guys have on your counters and what (if anything) you've had to do to keep your gun going besides regular stuff like putting on oil

when i bought my gun, it had 72,000 + shots on it....it was heavily used....since then, i got a new board and i have put about 20,000 through it.....and this gun is two years old......so i think they can last a while...

thats alot of shots - i was just worried kase the one im getting has 50,000 shots and he just got a new board

Ekk...........the thing to remember when you see that shot counter is that it's kind of misleading. Has the owner done a trigger job on it? Sometimes that alone can put a few thousand shots on the counter. The real question when buying a used Angel shouldn't be how many shots are on the counter, but was the marker maintained? Did he oil enough but not too much, is there excessive wear on the inside of the breech, or the bolt. How about the internals of the gun? There are a lot of things to take into consideration that will change the life expectancy of the marker, and the shot counts on the board is really misleading. I could sit in my living room for a few hours, and just click the trigger this will up the shot count, but has there been any wear and tear on the gun? Check out the physical stuff to make sure you're getting your moneys worth.

if u think about it....an angel is alot like a car......see my gun had a lot of shots on the old board because it was a tourny player that owned it last....i sort of compared that to being highway miles....he took good care of it, until he sold it to me, he just forgot to put the front half of the LPR in...:angry: but anyways....i take really good care of it...and it works fine...just needs a tune up every once in a while like a car...

well... I agree with you, angels can last forever, one of the most user-friendly guns out there in my opinion. I had 200,000 shots through my gun.. and only had it tuned up 2ce so far by adrenalin & allstar.... i love my gun... best gun ive ever owned... and also.. complements on the black/yellow acid wash anno from adrenalin!!!!

My old angel had near 200,000 shots on it and had never been tuned. It shot great. I reccomend a tune up at least once a year but preferibly twice. i was just too lazy to do it ;)

Angels are one of the toughest most reliable guns on the market. they are expensive but worth it.

My gun had 800,000 on the counter when it came. Shoots pretty darn well.
