After using soap and bubbles, i'm pretty sure the leak was just the macroline elbow. *phew* finally found it.

Since I disambled the gun, my stock trigger adjustment is no longer the same. Any way to get it back short of having a MT do it? I didn't play with the toe adjustment screw or move it.

I'm not sure if my gun is bouncing or not. The Trigger Offset is set at one light. I'm wondering if the way my trigger is set up might cause bouncing?

Thanks. And where is the closest MT center to Bay Area California?

Use the vernier knobs above the trigger to get it closs to what you want then use the toe adjustment for fine tune the trigger. Remember you will need to adjust the trigger with the power on so you can tell when your marker fires and when you have gone too far on one adjustment.

Well thanks for the input but that's not my question. I know how to set the trigger up, I'm wondering if there's a way to make the vernier wheel settings the same as it was when it was stock?

Since my toe adjustment is the same, I'm wondering how I can get the vernier wheel setting back. But it's entirely possible that I will never be able to get it back so I don't mind, just means I need to make my own settings.

And, Does the vernier wheel / toe adjustment setting cause bounce if set a certain way, when the Trigger Offset in the LED menu is at one light (no bounce)? As in, can I have it at one light but still bouncing because of the trigger setup?

Hope this clarifies things.

Yes you can bounce the trigger strictly using the trigger itself and not using any electronics to acheive this however I found it quite accidentally and found that it was so unsafe that I will not say how.

I'm not trying to achieve bounce, I'm trying to avoid it. I think my gun is bouncing due to my trigger setup, so I'm trying to eliminate that. I'm playing at Thunder Valley (Galt, CA) and don't want my gun to be bouncing.

Well use whatever you have done to make it bounce and reverse it.

To reset the vernier wheels to stock, simply center them. You can tell/see center with the grip and trigger removed from the upper frame. Center the vernier wheels while the gun is in this partially disassembled phase, re-assemble and fine tune.

Thanks, the back screw on my Angel is stripped, not the thread but where you insert the hex. How do I get it out?

Using an allen key one size larger than the stripped size, lightly tap the larger allen key into the stripped screw (using a lightweight hammer, make sure that at least 1/8" of the key went into the screw and then carefully back it out and REPLACE with a stainless screw.

Hope this helps...I had the same issue and it worked for me.

The other choice is to go to the hardware store and buy an appropriately sized "easy out" which is made to remove stripped screws.

I took the cheaper route...and it worked...this time.

Yeah I tried that, oh well. Guess the easy out is what I need, then.
