Acs Break In ?!?!?

[jdrochell]

Hello, I'm new to the forum and I have a question. I picked up one of the Spyder Pilot ACS markers the other day and have yet to fire it. I noticed while reading some of the post about the ACS bolt, someone said something about placing the squeegee in the feed neck and firing the gun about 1000 times to break in the ACS bolt. Is this something that needs to be done? I have yet to fire my marker yet, but a friend of mine went out and got one just like it, and when he was out test firing it today, He had one chop that turned into a chain reaction of non stop chopping.

I just want to know if the ACS bolt needs to be "broken in" before using? I see no mention of it in the manual so that's why I'm asking it here.

Thanks in advance for the responses!

yes it does. dont fire it jsut sit by the tv and compress the spring with ur hands for a couple of hours. its just that when the sprinmg is new it is stiff or semi-stiff and needs to be comprerssed alot of times so that it will get used to bending

Yea the reason he chopped so much was because it wasnt broken in

What you are sayin is that you have to shoot only with the battery?(without gas)?

No no no...Fill up a 20oz tank, and stick something downb your feedneck that will stop the spring. Turn on the frame and fire until you are out of gas. If it still needs more (shouldn't, but just in case), fill the tank up and do it again.

Ok, I've taken the bolt out of mine and I'm compressing the spring... Hope it's ready to get busy tomorrow b/c I'm going to take it out and wail on it. I so hope this gun works like It should. I don't want to have one of those 98 something or others that everyone else has.

So what are you seing that i fill up my tank, and I´m ready to go...but instead of firing just gas, i stick something soft (or please tell me what i can stick in), and I start firing my marker, so when i´m firing it, the bolt will press the soft stuff???

That´s right??

yuup stick like a towel in there and just shoot away. and everythibng u just said above is 100% correct. shoot away and break that mutha in.

[mv540]

ok, but when you mean "break that mutha in" what do you mean???

does something most break in??

What happens??? and when i know, that i have to stop??

sorry to ask a lot of q... i´m just want to be 100% sure
