Questions from new angel owner

[bluelite]

OK. I've read the manual and searched several forums but haven't seen this covered. The small rubber gasket that seals the space between my rotabreech and valve is loose and slips out of place. Is it supposed to be loose? I had someone tell me to superglue it in place before I lose it, but the idea of putting superglue anywhere near my bolt or valve gives me the heebie-jeebies. Is that a good answer or is there some other way to make it stay in place? Strong language has not been effective and giving it a time-out really just punishes me. Also, I have gotten 6 cases through my new angel fly and no chops and except for a cut on the cupseal it has performed great. It does seem to use a little more gas then I expected it to. I am running my dwell at 12, should I lower it to increase efficiency? Any help would be appreciated. I must say that I am enjoying owning an angel more than I thought I would.

The rubber gasket can be glued into place, just dont go overboard on the glue and make sure the glue you use wont eat into the rubber. I know many guys playing without this gasket and they dont notice any difference.

As for dwell, once the marker is run-in you can drop the dwell on the fly to 9 (with a volumiser). This is different to previous angels as the fly has more internal volume.

Yep, safe to glue it in. Let the glue dry before you use it and there's no risk to your valve, bolt or rotobreach. For angel-specific info, questions and whatnot, go to www.angel-owners.com. There's some good info there, and topics like this are covered all the time.

I was told by a tech that it is best to use the gel type superglue, 'cos it stays in place & is less liable to drip or run.
