Details
This tutorial introduces basic O ring care that does not require opening the internal firing assembly. Players begin by identifying accessible O rings, such as those on the barrel threads, tank regulator interface, or ASA.
O rings are inspected for cracks, flattening, or dryness. If the O ring feels stiff or shows visible wear, players replace it with an identical size.
Lubrication involves applying a very small amount of paintball safe grease. Excess lubricant attracts dirt and causes sealing issues, so players learn to distribute a thin, even layer.
The guide covers wiping the area clean before applying lubricant and checking for proper seating afterward.
This basic maintenance step helps prevent leaks and improves overall reliability.
