Actually I had some issues with a leak goin on out the reg so I replaced the orings and then had to replace the valve pin. but I did end up getting a few good weekends of play out of her before that though. Shes a great little shooter.
I'm actually very suprised to hear that. I replaced every seal when I got it and only played a few games with it and shot it in the back yard a bit. I even kept it well oiled when it wasn't in use.
The reg leak may have been since it sat around for a few months, then was played with a lot, but I'd think simple oil would have prevented that...
And the valve pin... That was also something I replaced as well from the start. It should have lasted at least a few years.
Yeah, she shoots great. I loved all the looks from people at the field since I was playing with an outdated, all metal metal, mechanical brick of a gun that shot faster than their plastic electros

I still play with an all metal mechanical brick of a gun that shoots faster than their plastic electros, but it isn't as outdated...
