just got a a1 in a trade couple questions

[pbmiyagi91]

the bolt and breach are really worn is this normal
also the breach moves up and down which is the reason y i think it has so much wear. couple it be that breach is moving up and down while shooting and it is scraping the bolt off the edges?

[jpx]

is the breach leterally jumping a bit while shooting? cuz thats not normal:scratchhe

[pbmiyagi91]

no jumping but it rattles

[jpx]

it shouldent rattle... did you try to tighten the pin that holds it there?

[pbmiyagi91]

dont think that would have anything to do with it

If you are talking about the bolt moving within the breach then yes, that is normal. If you are talking about the breach door moving then that is not normal. Many people remove the bolt from the breach whenever the marker is not being used for fear that the bolt will hit/deform the detents.

well my breach door wiggles around up and down a little what do i do to fix this

[for2nato]

tighten the pins but not too much

[Bleda]

the breach door is supposed to slightly wiggle when shooting, its normal and is how the gun is designed, this isn't a G7 with a locked down breach. Tightening this so there is no play is a great way of bending pins/causing bolt stick....

You shouldn't really notice it when shooting--or at least you shouldn't hear it. Besides, you hopper sits over most of the area. Unless you have your hand in the area, which I never do, you shouldn't really notice anything. Without air, it should shake/rattle very slightly. It's not firmly fixed--this is normal.

You said your bolt is worn. What part of the bolt is worn--the face? or the body? Which bolt do you have? The new Clear face bolt or the blue face bolt?

You should compare your A1 to someone elses on the field if you can.

I think eventually you'll need to replace the bolt if it's worn.

BTW, you might also want to do some general greasing/lubing of your marker. DO NOT GREASE THE BOLT! The bolt is not designed to be greased.
Download the grease MT sheets from wDP and you'll see what to grease if you have any questions. Easy way to grease if you're feeling lazy is to put a few drops of love juice into the ASA and dry fire. Make sure you wipe your bolt afterwards.
