I'd reccomend taking out the bolt and hammer assembly, and wiping all the grime off of the bolt and striker.

Then, squeegee the reciever (where the bolt normally is).

That is about it.

DO NOT OIL A GUN AFTER USE!!!!!! IT ATTRACTS DUST AND CRAP..ONLY OIL BEFORE A DAY OF USE

Listen....I don't want to be rude....but seriously. I didn't say that for no reason. Why are you asking me if i am sure, when i make a statement like that?

DO NOT OIL AFTER USE

Putting oil in the reciever and shooting to coat all the parts with oil is a good way for the internals, but you still need to oil the bolt before you play.

Me, I just oil the bolt, stick it back in, and go play.

check the striker o-ring. I had a friend with a problem like that. he had no o-ring, so it would shoot, then sputter.

Your gonna have to replace the valve on the co2 tank. I would just have em replace it with a on-off valve while they're at it.

I am assuming it is leaking out of the pin valve, when the tank is unscrewed from the marker.

If that is not the case, and it is leakin when the tank is screwed into the marker's ASA, you've just got a bad o-ring on the tank

It just makes de-gassing the marker a heck of a lot easier.

Does the tank leak when it is off the marker?

yep. Your valve is busted. Go to your proshop and have them replace it.

How much you think that will cost?maybe It will be more worth it to just get a new bigger tank.Its a 12 ounce and I want bigger.thanks for all your help

well, a new tank is like 20 bucks whereas a new valve is 10-25 bucks, so i'd go with the on-off.
