Quick question for a newbie

[caples69]

I am new to the scene, and this is my first highend marker. I remember hearing that gun should be oiled about every 8,000 or so shots, but does the gun need to be oiled before you go out and shoot it the first time? Or does it already come oiled and ready to go? As far as oiling goes, do i need to just put oil in the air system, or do I need to disassemble the gun to properly oil it? Any help or advice for this newbie would be much appreciated.

A few drops of oil in the minireg macro fitting fitting should do you just fine.

Never put anything in the actual Air System, especially oil, it could blow up.
Undo the macro from the front fitting, put a few drops in there and put the macro back on and fire 30 or so times. I usually take the barrel off so and excess doesnt get in the barrel

You probably want to use some high end marker lube for the bolt and o-rings and stuff cuz the love juce isnt so great, i would reccomend dow35

[BoB]

You never lube or oil the bolt. The love juice oil is some of the best oil you will find. Marker only needs to have a grease service about every 20,000 cycles or so. Most any paintball grease will work for this.

well that shut me up... y wouldent you lube your bolt though? its a myth that derelin is self lubing you still want to maintain it...

So if I understand right, I only need to every 8,000 shots put a drop or two of the Angel Love Juice in the back of my ASA where the tank screws on, if not whatm were you referring to when you said the minireg macro fitting. Do I have to remove anything to get to the part that I need to lube. If you haven't noticed I am new to the scene, and this is first high quality gun, and not wanting to screw anything up. I apologize if I come off sounding like an idiot and have no idea what I am talking about. I do appreciate all the help from you guys.

the macroline fitting is the little silver thing that connects your macroline to your ASA, you also have on on the bottom of your reg, simply remove the macroline from the fitting.

What's the difference between putting juice on the fitting instead of straight into the ASA? And it comes already well lubbed, so don't worry till you see 20k cycles like Bob says...

[Shooters~SOBA]

just 2 let you know where your fitting is kiddo...

Oil or grease will cause the material to swell and cause severe drag. maintaining the bolt is simple, wipe off, keep clean and dry.

Hey Bob, can I put the juice into the ASA or do I have to actually remove the macro line from the fitting and put in there? Tnx!

[BoB]

I recommend the macrofitting on the end cap just so more oil gets into the marker. Putting the oil in the ASA will not hurt though.
