    Oiling a Mag, how much/where?

    Ok, I know this will seem to be a stupid question, but how much, and where should you oil the marker? Right now, I am putting 3 drops in where I hook up the air, and then fire about a dozen times to make sure it clears out of the marker (with the barrel off). I also put a drop in the 2 oil spots on the under-side of the valve. Am I missing anything, or am I putting enough oil in? Thanks for the help, all!

    all you need to do is put a few drops (something like 4 - 5 drops) in the ASA, or the closest convienent point to the valve. IE in a Macroline fitting, quick disconnect etc.

    As for the 'o-OIL-o' holes, don't bother oiling there, they dont really do much for oiling the valve. Just put a few drops in as close to the valve as you can, and you'll have a happy 'mag.

          Yup that will do it.
          But it's useless unless you cycle it through the valve. You have to gas your mag up and shoot several dozen shots
          with the barrel off!. If you leave the barrel on oil will accumulate in the barrel and decrease accuracy.
