What type of ASA?

[AlexMcAlpine]

I need to replace the existing ASA on the old Angel LCD I just bought.

Based on the photos can anyone tell me what type of ASA I could get that would be compatable?

I takes a standard ASA. (and rail)

Almost all guns have that one. Except some wierd guns.


Hang on Im getting Deja Vous?

Hang on Im getting Deja Vous?

Ever so slightly

What I meant by this question is, could you suggest an actual product that I can go and buy, like an SP On/Off (if that'd work?).

 

[John C]

Most of our site supporters sell an ASA of some description.
They just like to hide them in deep and obscure places in their web store.


I use CP asas. Because they are very durable and can take the odd dive. I cant count how many planet ones ive snapped.


This page sells them, and also illustrates the difference between a standard ASA and the spazzy ones they have on the tippmann.
Everything on that page will fit your gun except the tippmann specific rail.

So if you got the CP ASA it would slide right on to your rail where the air system goes on at the moment.

I cant say how well it will fit on your rail. Yours looks quite large. You could always cut it down or something.
But if you wanted to go the whole way you could get the micro rail also available on that page.


hope that helps.

That's what I'm after

It's a bit late now to get something shipped out intime for the weekend.


BZ Paintball supplies will be onsite at the event though, as such I'll ring them up and ask them to bring one along. Only problem is, I can't find the CP products in their online store. The only ASA I can see on their site is the Smart Parts ON/OFF. Looks like it should work though...

 

[John C]

The smart parts ones are pretty terrible but it will work.
As I said you might need a rail too if your one is just too long to fit.



I reckon BZ will have other brands they could bring along if you ring em.

 

[AlexMcAlpine]

Alright. Would a direct mount one be an option?

 

[John C]

Yeah.

Quite a nice option.

You lose the small amount of adjustment you had moving it forward and back on the rail.
But you get a nicer looking, solid ASA.

 

[AlexMcAlpine]

Alright, and fitting should be fairly straight forward I'm guessing?

Or in other words, if I get a direct mount or a rail mount and a rail, will there be anything else I need?

 

[John C]

Yes its quite easy.


You might need a longer peice of macro line if your new setup ends up with a longer distance between your ASA and inline reg.


I can see from your picture that you have Tom Allen high pressure macro fittings.

They arent compatible with regular macro and fittings so, you'd need to replace the whole lot.

Macro line, and 2 elbow fittings.

The air fittings need threadlocking in.

BZ could do all the installation for you if your buying stuff from them.
It would take them 2 minutes rather than your 15.
