Lube the bolt man!
they are made out of delrin and are designed to run dry!
if you lube em, they absorb the lube and swell, which will cause ya probs dude!
put some "love juice" in your fill nipple before you gas up once in a while and you will be running sweet, its all i need to do to mine, no probs

And depending upon your level of use and how abusive you are with your Angel, you might want to give it to a tech every few months to a year. The tech can check your LPR pressure, your snap ring setting & your ram stroke - or you can get the tool kit & do them yourself if you reasonably capable of following a manual.

Re: DONT DONT DONT
the air in that bottle is stored at 3000/4500 psi!
go read how an engine works......ignition due to compression, putting oil or anything into the filler will vapourize the oil and coupled with the pressure, vast amount of air and probable heat due to filling can very possibly cause it it ignite in the bottle....and you dont wanna go there!
yeah for f**k sake dont what ever you do put oil into the fill nipple!Originally posted by Paul_collier

It was an angel tech at one of the s 2K3 events that told me to drop some lube in my feed nipple!
maybe i misunderstood him ?, might have been the language barrier!

I suspect what the guy meant, was to put the drops of oil down the macroline connector ie. do the following:
- safe the Angel
- remove hopper & all paint
- switch off your air system
- check again that there's no paint in the Angel
- switch the Angel live
- degas the Angel by firing until no more shots
- safe the Angel
- disconnect your macroline/whatever hosing at the Angel mini-reg end (the front grip)
- put in 2-3 drops of Love Juice into the connector on the end of the mini-reg
- reconnect your macroline/whatever
- check again that there's no paint in the Angel just in case you were mad last time (paranoia is our friend)
- switch on your air system
- remove bolt & barrel (so they don't get oily & thus require cleaning - the lazy tech's tip)
- walk well away from everybody else (so you don't upset them with the noise)
- switch the Angel live
- fire ~50 shots
- safe the Angel
- quick wipe through the breech with a tissue
- re-setup marker ready to play, not forgetting a barrel condom.
