8 Tips for Maintaining A Better Angel One

Got an Angel A1? Think it might need maintenance, or a tweak but unsure what to do. Below is a list of 8 tips, quoted from Ken Crane to keep your Angel Paintball gun in top form.

1) Don’t buy garbage batteries. No ifs ands or buts.

2) Don’t run your dwell below 6.5. I don’t care if you are the smartest physics major in the world. It won’t work!

3) Don’t lower the LPR below 6o. Just don’t; It won’t work any better,

4) If you upgrade the software on your gun, download it and follow the instructions exactly as they are written. Don’t try and be smarter than the guys that wrote the directions; they work as designed. Insert a new battery before flashing the gun as it uses more power to flash than using the gun.

5) Don’t try and make the ASA a drop back or drop forward. It isn’t and was never meant to be moved forward or back. If you do you will break the frame. Evenly tighten the front and rear pinch bolts to assure a tight but not over tight fit.

6) ALL bounce is being created by customers incorrectly adjusting the trigger magnet. If you remove too much magnetic tension from the front adjustment it will bounce. Make sure you can feel and hear the magnet grab the front adjustment screw.

6) Don’t use cheap tools to work on your Angel. Buy good quality ball end allen wrenches. It will make your life and ours much easier.

7) Before you assume drop off, poor velocity, slow rate of fire or like issues are affecting your A1; check the output pressure of your air system. We cannot even tell you how many guns we get in that work fine only to find it’s a below 400 output tank causing the issue. It happens every day; Make sure your tank puts out at least 450. DO NOT ASSUME ITS FINE. TEST IT!!!

8) Proper removal of the A1 eye covers requires some skill. De-gas the gun, remove the exhaust valve end cap. Carefully get a pointed or sharp flat object started under each eye strap at the rear most part of the cover. Don’t pull the arms away from the body any more than it takes to slide them forward. Pull them towards the front of the gun and remove. To reinstall again, don’t pull the cover arms any more than it takes to slide them over the body.
