Update on guns

On one of the threads that had the links to the manuals thank you so much. I am however using HPA for both guns. I wanted to make a good first investment and HPA was one of the things I invested in. I took the Pirahna to a Shop here in tampa and for 38 bucks the guy took the gun apart and fixed it except for the ram air oring which i will get this week. THe problem with the P. was that all the orings on there were the wrong ones. THe guy that I bought it from really screwed this gun up. BUt it is functional and my brother played with it today with delight except for the ram air oring problem.
A note on the seller of these guns. He did not take anycare of these guns. He had told me that I could take them out of the shipping box and play. Well he lied and I have some work to do. His email was emssl8ve@aol.com. He even blocked me after I emailed last night that hte guns wont work. Bad seller.
Ok onto the cocker. The field I went to to play today had a guy that reffed our games that actually makes autocockers. He took it looked at it changed some things and got it to recock and fire. He told me not to play with it until I get an inline regulator. He said to buy an Ergo regulator and set it to like 500 psi. He also said to get a threaded bar. THe bar that connects the trigger to the 3way, and a trigger plate I beleive he called it.
So that is the update on these guns so far. If you have any questions or comments or helpful hints my email is XVanUsX@hotmail.com
TY so much for reading and taking the time out to help me!

Ffs read before you post Le pig... puting oil in your asa can inadvertatly put oil in your tank... I have never nor would ever put oil in my tank... although I am a geordie I'm not as thick as Ant and Deck!! :D

All I was trying to say is that although this is a standard thing to do their have been cases reported that say that adding oil to your asa can cause dodgy results with your tank!!

Don't tell me to get my facts right when it is apparent that you have not read my reply correctly... I think you will find that their are many a post regarding this subject that contradict your above statement...

Never mind, all I'm gonna say is that if I still owned a cocker I would not be adding oil in this way anymore...

as far as i know the only time a tank had problems was when the person put oil on the threads on the reg(so the reg would screw into the bottle easier),wich then got into the tank:(

nice to know you got 'em up and running. HPA systems are the best upgrade you can get for a gun, so that was a wise choice.

i hope you remain active on the forums and i also hope i can shoot you one day!! :)

Thanks

Again thanks. I do plan on being active in this posting area. I love this site. My brother got his o'ring on the ram air for a buck and I made some very interesting friendly contacts. My brother, bless his heart, bought a pirhana eforce sts vertical feed off ebay (brand new) for 189.99 with shipping. I hope it is good. So he will now sell his pirhana that I got working for him. lol what can I do. I am just so glad that kevin is having fun and enjoying paintball. I just cant wait to fire paint through my cocker! well all ty and have a great day. If your in tampa send me an email, well even if your not in tampa you can email me, at XVanusX@hotmail.com
