i have a dm5 but im geting some problems with it.
i got some "drop off",sometimes when i fire, the ball just falls off the barrel, i was told that was because of the temprature.
then i have to open the lpr a little to get it right again ! !
but i got a mate that also have a dm5 and played with me but didnt had the same problem.
anyone knows why it does that and how to solve it ? ?

I had this mate. The key with Dm's is that you have to meticulously look after the bolt and all its o-rings. As long as the lpr and your reg are set correctly it will be the bolt thats causing any problems, so just take it out give it a clean, check all orings and re lube generously and take care reinserting it, so you dont snag any orings. that should do the trick.:D

Every single problem that could happen to a DM happened to me - and I ironed them all out with the unending knowledge known as "Jeff".

Check your 17 and 15 o-rings, make sure they're not swollen (replace them anyway) and the two clear o-rings that are inside the bolt. Then lube up with dow 33 or some similarly thinner lube (dye slick lube is just too thick for arctic conditions) and everything will be fine. Also, check here:

Jeff is a demon and will be able to sort most problems for you.
