99% of all problems with BKO's are from USER ERROR!!!

Most problems with the BKO can be avoided by simply reading your manual. There are some problems that this wont help, but it wont be any worse than a mag.

I have been running a BKO for a little over 6 months and have never had a major problem. I have had a B2K for a little over 1.5 years. I have lubed it twice since I have owned it and it never gives me problems.

The ICD markers are very trust worthy markers if you take time to learn how to work on them and keep them adjusted correctly.

Plz respond to my PM ShootPaint,

and for the thread:

BKO's are very reliable. i have not had any problems with mine. as shootpaint says, read the manual.

If you have a problem that can't be solved by that, just think about it for a while and you'll figure it out. don't try some permanent alterations though. lol. if u just can't figure it out, call ICD. But most people don't have any problems w/ thier guns.

I completely agree with Shootpaint and BSU.

I would say before you purchase the BKO, learn about it from this forum and also from other resources as mentioned in the FAQ. Read the FAQ. Be able to mentally disassemble it. Understand how the pneumatics work.

Think about how you want to set up your BKO and what you want to achieve. Remember the details.

Then, once you get your BKO, you will have no problems troubleshooting.

The BKO has a high quality feel to the parts.

Cheers
