i just got an angel 1 yesterday from lips. i told the dude chris at the shiop that i had heard about the problems with the eye covers coming loose.
he told me that his ones were since the issue and that he would check to make sure that it wasnt one of the bad ones.

i fired a few hoppers yesterday and it came loose, paint came out of the sides of the gun. when they come loose they dont register the balls properly even if held on with you fingers.altough that might just be the paint in the breach.

its a nice gun though. maybe not quite as nice as my pm6!!
but really just different. i think that if the pms nicer, its more cos of the pms being value for money that the a1 being not.

its lighter and smaller but louder than my pm.

what do u think i should do? i phoned lips today and they said they would have a look at it or send me new eye covers.
anyone here tried one? have any similar problems?
do you think that they nicer than the g7 flys? are g7s as loud as this?

should i maybe ask for a new gun?refund?

my pm also has serious leaking issues. ive tried the orings, twice or 3 times, used all my spare pretty much.
air has leaked from everywhere, the back of the bolt, the frame(where the noid wires are) and now through the front of the bolt.

The Angel Owners group has a thread on there about issues and the eye covers one is covered quite a lot. People have said that getting new eye covers has fixed the problem though so hopefully that's all it is. Take it back down to LiPS and get them to have a look at it for you.

to be honest, the louder the gun generaly the more efficient it is. i cant think of any quiet guns that are very efficient and i can think of alot of loud guns that are. has something to do with pressure, flow and displacement the same as efficiency does and they seem to take the same path.

Loud = efficient seems to be the general rule.

Can't help you with the Angel mate but I'm sure Chris or John at Lips will sort it for you:) If you want your PM sorted you can send it to me and I'll repair/service it for you or give Dye a ring:)
