you should lube your bolt after everytime you play and you can lube all that other stuff about like every five to six times you play ;)

to get your impulse to work well, that means no fdso, fastness, and, well, a working gun, you must do these three things after each day of play:
1) Clean bolt and relube it (if you have a delrin bolt don't lube it)
2) Clean ram and hammer, then relube the ram, Not the Hammer
3) Clean hammer assembly, put a little dow33 in little holes in it, and cover it's 3 o-rings in grease-might want to put a little on the threads too, but just a little.

I also reccomend lubing the valve every 1500 or so shots. I clean and relube my valve after every day of play, but I dote over my impulse every day.

I love my impulse. I wake up every day and reach for my gun. It has its own table beside my bed. I love impulses so much.

ahh, that's nothing; i just sold one of my oldest impulse to my friend's little bro for 1000$, now he litterally sleeps with it sometime, and when ever he goes anywhere other than school and to the doctor he brings it with him, i hear his friend's are starting to get annoyed by it ;)

i don't have any now, but i can sure take one later. picture this though: you know when you see an oil spill on the ground and how it is always changing colors but still staying really shiny? well that is the same type of ano that my old baby had (no, i'm not obsessed ;)).

my imp is so nice, i love it so much, i get teary eyed thinking about all the good times we have had together,
In the Ultimate sticky theres a step by step guide on how to lube an imp, its even got pictures.
And i must agree, i also love my imp, even after owning a shocker and a trix, i had to come back. Ive made the decision to keep this one forever, and not use what its worth to help pay for a new gun. This way ill always have a back up that works.
Anyway...... I was a little skeptical when i went out and played with it this past weekend for the first time (not with an imp, just with this gun) but of course just like my last imp, it gave me no problems. I was even running a revy w/o vision. (my vision doesnt work :mad: ) So yeah, rock the imp for life.

this is true, but it doesn't tell you when to do what, and i got many requests to make a new one even after i kept saying to just look at the one in the sticky so, well, here you go boys and girls...
