Okay,

I just bought a used arsenal g7. First angel I've ever owned and I've been playing paintball for 8 years. Shot some paint through it and I must say I am pretty impressed. I have a JDS lpr on the way and a MT valve as well, so I'm sure it'll be tip top after I put those on.

However. This gun is used and has a few things that I was wondering if I could fix or not. The rubber back plate on the gun with the 3 buttons and battery charger input does not have the cover over the charger input anymore. It looks as if it were torn off. Can I replace this backplate?

Also, It seems like the back lever lock is a bit loose. Not too bad, but it seems to kind of move up a bit exposing the power switch. Can I tighten this?

Also, not sure if this has anything to do with the lever lock, but the breech kind of wiggles a bit. Is this normal or can I get this tightened as well?

Gun shoots fine, but these things are more annoyances that I want fixed. Any help is great, thanks alot!

The MT valve is an LPR

Huh??
JDS lpr is a replacement for the lpr that sits in the same tube as the battery. The MT Valve replaces the vlave body and pin, the object the hammer hits when in the forward position.

The rubber piece you speak of is known as the tpr, the MT's sell replacements as a set.
As for the breech lever, check this thread for the answer:

Enjoy the gun!

yeah, I will definitly try the oring trick. My question though...

will that o-ring stop the breech from wiggling? (it sort of wiggles a bit if you press on it, it's not tightly sealed like on my friend's ir3)...and if not, will that potentially cause problems? (I put a few hoppers through without an issue, but I haven't played with the gun yet)

That wiggle is due to the bolt being the only thing holding it closed. On previous models, the breech pin was a separate piece that kept the breech shut.
As long as you don't have problems with the bolt sticking forward, you'll be fine.
