OK everyone,
I got my A1 today, and went to shoot it. Shoots great no problems, but the breech and breech knob are kind of wiggly. The breech knob loostens, and the breech itself is wobbling around. Any way i can tighten this so it will stop?
Thanks guys

The breech is suppost to wobble a little as the only thing thats holding the breech closed is the bolt moving forward a little when you turn the knob, and if you muck with it to much you may end up with bolt stick so be very carefull.
As for the knob loosening as stated in a previous thread the fix is simular to the older Angels and put a small o ring behind the knob.
Hope this helps

Right, as Russ said, don't tighten up your rotor-breech door grub screws to keep the breech door from moving. If you tighten them up too much you'll more than likely experience "bolt stick" which is when your bolt gets stuck in the forward position.
For the breech knob, you can go to www.fixmyangel.com and get a pack of o-rings for a Angel LCD breech knob and put one under your A1's knob. You can get a pack of 10 for like $3 or something. The FMA site isn't working right now or I'd provide a link. I bought pack of 10 myself and put one on my knob... it works great; I doub't I'll ever use the remaining 9 I have, so if you PM me your home address I'll send you one.
This kit comes with one Angel 1 Field Kit (http://www.fixmyangel.com/catalog-product775)

Bob, is that the same as the "First Aid Kit"?
DAMN! I just took my dog for a walk and when I came back I had the notice on the door that I missed my barrel kit delivery!!! Now I'm pissed!
