View Full Version : Angle (pitch) of gun affects shooting?

I just noticed something weird about my A1 (about 5 cases through it, max). When I tip the barrel down at an angle, the HAMMER sits forward with a faint hiss for a fraction of a second before coming back to get ready to shoot. When I hold the gun at a relatively flat pitch (shooting eye level) or even up to the sky, the HAMMER comes back instantly as it should and would produce its max ROF.

What gives??????

Mine does this as well now, would this also cause it to hang foward even slightly

Yup, get/switch that o-ring and it'll be like new

Guys, seriously!? This thing has barely 5 cases through it. Will that o-ring wear down like this all the time!?!? Hmmm. Seems strange. Thanks for your input though! I will try to look it up in the manual.

i was using my gun on sunday and it was fine, yesterday when i tore it down to lube it and put it back together and aired it up and the ram was leaking. and that ram only had about 5-6 cases on it. so anything can happen. i just wish we had a rebuildable ram so i wont have to buy/get a new one everytime it happens.
