Well, after much debate I finally sold my eblade cocker and bought an Angel. It's a Red to Black Fade A4 and should arrive tomorrow along with my EvoII. I'm getting a Max Flo on Friday and will hopefully be able to try it out this weekend :cool: . Needless to say, I feel like a little kid on Christmas eve! I had to bug the mail girl for 20min today until she finally agreed to email me at work when it arrives so I can pick it up immediately :smile: . Sadly I miss the autococker already and will probably buy a stock 03 as a backup gun. They should get really cheap once the 04 becomes more popular. Well, I'm off to try and get some sleep and dream about Angels :tongue: .

You should have kept your cocker. I have a F4 (only used once) and an E-Orracle. I am still debating which one will be the backup. I just need to play with the F4 a little more. I never had any problems with my E-Orracle, I just got the itch for a new gun.

The first thing you should do before even trying to shoot the marker is remove all of the excess packing grease that is in that thing! It is so gunked up out of the box that you can't expect it to shoot correctly.

My min-reg had so much grease in it (didn't realize until after chrono-ing the 1st time) that it was causing bad velocity fluctuations.

Check the COPS rod, breech, and bolt itself for excess grease. I took out the ram, degreased the ram chamber with a battle swab, and used oil instead (per Jim @ IMPACT).

I would leave the grease in the valve area, so it can help seal the valve stem a little better as it breaks in plus it will trap dirt.

If you bought it from one of the MasterTechs they have probably already tuned the gun up, so disregard.

My cocker was no where near as nice as my A4. I still have it, but only give it to friends when they come in town and need to borrow a gun. I will probably never use it again.

There have been some problems with attachments lately, matt is looking into it.
In the meantime is there a site you can host them on and use the [IMG] tags?
