I just got my Angel LCD Fly today. I shot at the store before I bought it and it worked good. I got home and opened the bolt thingy (don't know what it's called). When I did, a small o-ring fell out and I don't know where it came from. Does anybody have any ideas? There is a hole in front of the slit where the bolt pin goes that looks like it might have had an o-ring, but I can't really tell. Is it possible to use the gun wothout the o-ring?

Here's a link to the manual if you don't have one:

yea it's supposed to be attached around that litle hole on the rotobreach
some super glue should do the trick

Thanks for the help guys. Will the gun use more air per shot without the o-ring in, or doesn't it really matter? Oh, is it normal for the bolt holder thingy (rotobreach, right?) to hesitate when closing it? It feels like it wants to stop when it's almost all the way closed.

you need it! super glue it back in place, that what everone else does. and yes when closing the breech there should be a slight hesitation or click.

Yeah, ummm... the problem with that is it split. Do you know where I could get an o-ring kit? Or would it still work if I glued it in?

any service center carries that O-ring, but it's also the same O-Ring that's on the ball detents, so if you've got an extra ball detent laying around you can steal one off it.

and dont get too nervous about this,
the o-ring isnt essential, the gun will work without it, just not optimally

well I do have a question ... my ir3 hqas this breech oring in place but when I shoot the gun there is always a puff of air coming from under my roto breach does this mean the oring is bad or is this quite normal?

If you didn't need it then you think WDP would have put one there in the first place? Yeah you do need it for you gun to perform optimally and it will help out with some inconsistent chronos and air efficiencies.

I've got another problem. My Angel is leaking from the exhaust guide I think it's called. It's the forward hole where the rotobreach flips open. I'm thinking it's a bad o-ring. It leaks and stops really fast when I shoot the gun, and sometimes I shoot it and it keeps leaking. My question is, how do I get in there to replace the o-ring and could I do it myself without screwing up the gun?

try oiling it a little first, sometimes your o-rings will be dry and putting some oil through the marker really helps them:wink:

I did that and it didn't really work.

it may be little less consistent w/o the o-ring, but the difference is almost non existent. If you don't have the new o-ring just go to a hardware store and match it up.
