Put a couple of drops into your ASA (where you screw the tank in) and gas it up and fire it a couple of times with the barrrel off. This will spread the oil throughout the gun withou the need for dissasembly. Keep the barrel of when you do this so that the barrel does not get fouled by oil. Make sure that you use a lubricant that is specific to paintball use. The reason for this is that any oil that is petroleum based will penetrate and weaken your o-rings in the gun, causing premature wear and early failure.

The shutters come from the factory oiled... but yeah, what megadeth said... you should oil/clean gun after every day you play (i do it before and after)

DON'T PUT IT IN YOUR ASA! You've got a REG! It'll work like a combustion engine when you screw the air in! See the gauge that says "DO NOT OIL?!" It SAYS THAT FOR A REASON! Lube the bolt, and the trigger, and the hammer and their o-rings and you're set.

can you put any on your tank o-rings? (basically same as asa) like a drop or two?

i don't cause they break so often:( so u get a fresh one as opposed to your gun's o-rings which people replace every couple months; but u can if you want just make sure it is spread out so it won't drip and go into your reg ;)
