Well After Ken sent Matt the Fly to use at Ultimate Madness we were setting it up as best we could Friday night for the tourny on Saturday. After Matt using it Saturday and Sunday with no chops or problems I ordered one Monday. Our other teammate has a dust red also. So having two brand new guns there and neither had a problem that was good enough for me to buy one. I went to my teammates store to pick up the new one and he told me his front breech rod screw fell out at the tourny, no problem warped sent him another in the order with my gun. After a few games yesterday I went into hardcore paint break mode. Matt's was kickin ass. So I put it away and grabbed my trusty NYX and finished the day. After cleaning the gun I noticed that its damn near impossible to remove the eyes without excessive force. And my front breech rod screw was completely unthreaded, causing the breech to move back and forth and up and down. I chipped the eyes trying to remove them with a .050 allen wrech through the breech (they still pass th drop test). They are in there major tight so be careful. After cleaning and loctiting the breech rod screw and toe screw, it had backed out also. I loaded some crappy big ball in there and ripped away with no problems. So check you front beech rod and toe screws make sure they have a bit of loctite on them. As for they eyes I just hope they are not that hard to remove again.

as for the eyes gettting them out i have heard that that the strip is dang thin. so i would suggest that you take the smallest allen wrench and put a lil bit of electrical tape over it and gently push them out......as for ur other problems contact ken or any of our sponcers they will be happy to help

They are no other problems, just things people should check when they recieve there gun. As for gently pushing the eyes out, thats impossible I almost had to resort to a porta power from work to get them out, LOL. They are in there tight.

file down the eye holes with a rat tail file or something like that. just take a little of the anno off and it should work great

Foo- Good point. I also got a good tip from Ken (Performance Angel) after talking awhile with him he said to go through the detent holes to remove they eyes instead of down the breech. After looking at it, its more of a straight shot with a small allen wrench to push the eyes out.
