Mini spring work-in

[iMunchpaint]

What is all this that I have heard about "working in the Mini spring"? I am not completely sure what is is all about and how i should go about doing it. What does working in the spring do for my gun? Is it a good thing to do? why? please let me know. Thanks ahead

IMO, breaking in the spring is just a tad over rated.
The overall operation of the gun is not effected...but you will see more consistant velocity readings over time.

Just gas up the gun, and play with it as you would any other gun.

So when i go to my local field to play next, i just fill up and go into full auto and use about 3 tanks near the chrono?

Thats really not necessry.
Just gas up the gun, load up the hopper, strap on the goggles, and go play!!
If you have to do all that shooting...you may as well be shooting paintballs.

If you really insist on breaking in the spring, get a full tank of air, turn the velocity adjuster (the thing on the very back of the main tube) all the way in (clockwise) until it won't turn easily anymore (don't overtighten, just needs to be very slightly snug), and hold the trigger down while turning the Mini on (holding the trigger means eyes off). Turning the velocity adjuster all the way in like this means that the bolt will move, but you won't get the loud puff of air when firing. You'll use a lot less air and make a lot less noise. By using less air, you'll only need 1 tank. Eyes off and you have no need to use any paint. Drain the tank. The spring should be fully broken in at this point. Refill the tank and re-adjust the velocity adjuster at the chrono until it chronos at the right speed.

Read the manual and set it for ramping 20bps while doing the above break-in will help you break it in even faster.
