Cleaning of new A5

[marshalllamm@ea]

How often should I clean my new A5? I just got it and have only used it for 2 days of woodballing. Any suggestions? Are there any DVDs or vidoes of the cleaning and stripping of A5s?

To be honest I've only thoroughly cleaned mine 2 or 3 times in 1.5 years. In other words, you don't have to worry about cleaning it that often.

its esay to clean the a-5 just take out all pins first the all screws it will come in half making it esay to clean "watch out for a spring coming out and the ball dent". "i clean my a-5 after every major use" if u forget where or how all the peices go in follow the manual it will gide u.

I oil the gun usually ever two times I use it in play. I dissamble then put light oil on the orings, then there is usually a lot of paint/ grease in the gun I wipe a lot of that off with a towel to make my A5 nice and clean.

Once before and one time after each day of use.
I just aquired an A-5 (for free =) with a rusted spring. Spring is so rusted it's fused on the rear bolt.

i clean my a-5 after every use . it keeps it in good shape and the value of it can stay higher

Just more things to go wrong when you clean that often IMHO.

You don't have to clean it every so often. But all you need to do is take the pins out, trigger frame off, screws out, and watch for the spring that pushes the thing in the tombstone. When assembling back together, make sure that that spring is in place, along with the detent, barrel threading, and sights.
