Really all you have to do is the basics, take out the bold and lube it, put 1 drop and rub it all around, also put a swab through your breach to clean any chops you may have had. Clean your loader too depending on the loader its different cleaning for all of them


that's the main maintenance you will need to do

[matt29]

sweet so all i need to do after a day of play is put a small drop of lube on the boltand rub it around..that sounds easy enough lol how often should i clean the whole gun?
thanks for all the help

[Nick A]

well if you see the bolt has lube and its clean your fine but if its dirty or dry you have to lube it, look on youtube for some videos, people will walk you through it

Don't forget the rammer either.
Must lube it with Gun oil btw (Ie- Planet eclipse gun oil)

[matt29]

ok so i should do the bolt and rammer after everyday of play. About how much oil should i use?

[Yoda]

Put a small drop on each oring then spread it all the way around the ring, that should be fine. I would do it after every day of play.

[rebel492991]

take some oil, and put a few drops in the asa then dry fire it. this should spread the lube pretty well. then if you feel the need to lube the ram and the bolt o rings.

DO NOT PUT OIL IN THE ASA. It is not your A5 it could damage the gun. A drop of oil on each rammer oring and the bolt is optional. I wouldnt put it on the bolt cause it attracts dust. Every 4 cases or so i lube the lpr and hpr piston.

Clean you eyes, detents, lube your bolt, rammer, and after every 5-6 cases lube your lpr and hpr.....gratz on the new gat!!!

[onemanmafia]

well you dont need to clean your regulator until 20000 shots at least but i would every 4 cases just follow your manual.

[theFL@SH_69]

Like most people said, oil your bolt, slightly, after every day of play. Regulator, it is good to clean it every 4-6 cases. So 8000-12000 shots would be good. Just follow the manual precisely the first couple of times though. Make sure you don't lose anything, break something, etc. And you'll be a pro at it in no time!
