upkeep for a cocker...

[Wc Keep]

i had a cocker and loved it. im getting another cocker this weekend when i trade my emag lower half for it, and im going to do the same thing i did last time. go to impact paintball in edison nj and tell my boy jim "yo do me a sick timing and trigger job on this piece." and it will come out ripping and not be touched ever again by anyone but jim.

oh and i guess ill oil every so often but that requires me to purchase oil............

Now THAT is an awesome tutorial... sure wish I'd found something so nicely laid out when I did my first two cockers!

I would say, objectively, a mag is more simple than an autococker. That being said, the only reason a mag is simpler is because there's really nothing to tune on one (unless you have a LVL10 or ULT). This is not saying a cocker is DIFFICULT, but you do have to know at least a little about timing to keep it up and running.

I might get flamed for this, but I've been using cockers for years and I've NEVER had nearly as much trouble timing a cocker as I did when I tried to help my friend tune his LVL10. He ended up selling the gun because the upkeep was too much because he had to constantly tune it if he ever shot it - and it never seemed to get just right. Just something to consider.

ive never needed to tune my ult, and my lvl10 was easy to tune after a bit of practice, although the ease of tuning it may vary from bolt to bolt. if you have problems with the lvl10, one thing that may help is to replace the stock urethane o-ring with a buna-n o-ring. they can be found in this kit: http://www.iisports.com/product.asp?...&dept_id=12359 i heard about this from another AOer, and tried it out, even though i never had much trouble with my bolt anyway. the change made the bolt seal with considerably less friction, which i think would help out if you are having problems with tuning your bolt. (oh yeah, buna-n o-rings only work with nitro)
