Hey guys! As some know I have been taking a back seat for a needed break. I will be back full swing real soon. I have been watching and talking to bob very day about the a1 thread. What we have been noticing is that there are a lot of duplicate issues being reposted. Let me try and help us help you. First the biggest thing you need to do before you ask for help is to have your pressures checked and tell us what they are. 90% of all situations can and will be corrected with the correct pressures. The guys on our mt team have found that almost every gun that leaves the factory has the correct pressures. It also has been noted by us that some of you still want to lower the lpr pressure below 60. DON’T! It is not nessesery; it makes no difference at all. Leave it at 55-60. Use the rage/joy settings we have posted for best results. Please don’t bent twist remove nor do anything to your gun that someone told you to do on the internet. Please pay attention what we have done and do. We have a crap load of stupid mods we have seen already. If you try and bend a loop on the trigger you will break the bearings. If you blow the breach open without the bolt in your gun you will ruin the body. If you try and dig the magnet from the body you will ruin the body. I can go on and on as we have already seen it all. Very soon these issues will not be covered by any warranty so for your own sake don’t do it. As an owner of a gun you either need to learn how to properly maintain it or pay someone else to do it. You need to keep it clean, properly oiled and replace the ball detents on a regular basis. The detents are cheap and made soft to help eliminate breaking balls. There I said it. You need to replace the detents on a semi regular basis. They are consumable items. They wear out and are sacrificial. Wdp has all but eliminated ball breakage and this was just one of the ways they did it along with the lower pressures that the a1 operates on. To be better players your gear must work and this means you need to attend to your gun.. Buy a gauge to test pressures and some basic good Allen keys. Also 1 more tip to keep your detents in good shape is to stick a piece of paper towel into the breach holding the bolt back from resting on the detents. They will go back to “rest’ but it may take a few hours you don’t have. Just a tip. if joy and rage can sweep the nation with the a1 so cant you and if these things work for them they as well can for you!
