Try Ravi Chopra's site as well, that's where I started and it helped out immensely. Hope it helps. Razor : now the uber dumb question---i presume the cocking rod is either screwed in or its not? i mean, do i just unscrew it, change the velocity, re-screw it? i dont have to worry about how loose or tight or anything? : sorry for sounding stupid, but between no cocker in front of me, and being a noob with it, its inevitable. but i want to make sure i dont screw the piece up either!:) : thanks : : The cocking rod is just a threaded piece that screws into the back of the gun, stopping the back block. Once you take that out, adjusting the velocity is about the same as on your m98. : : : OK,,,maybe a dumb q, but having never done it or seen it done, and without the cocker in front of me, how dificult is removal of the cocking rod? : : : i ask because ill be playing a scenario in june, with day andnight chrono'ing. im wondering if i will want to play with my tippman chrono'd for night and the cocker at the day FPS limit. or if it really is simple.... : : : thanks! : : : : : : : Although there are other decent places to go, I like www.paintballravi.com. Read the autococker infosheet for a very good outline of how the cocker works and how to take care of it, including setting one up from scratch. Truthfully, once it's set up, it doesn't require much. Velocity can be changed with a 3/16" hex wrench. Remove the cocking rod from the rear of the marker, and you'll see the hole for the wrench. Clockwise is up, and counterclockwise is down. Hope this helps. : : : : Kevin : : : : : OK, I sorta just got my outkast---its on its way back to the store, because the frame was scratched up....but should have another new one next week... : : : : : anyways, all ive played with previous to this was a model 98, and that obviously required virtually no maintenance. i know the cocker will be different. and i was hoping folks could answer a few questions, without flaming me for the dumb questions.... : : : : : first, is the autococker trix video worth it, or is there a better owners manual for it that i could use? : : : : : second, i know with the m98, increasing/reducing FPS was easy---i didnt stare at the cocker long enough, but how hard/easy is it to change FPS? : : : : : i figured the cocker video might be good for a noob like me, but i dont want to waste money if there are better things available.... : : : : : id ask the guys i play with, but all but one shoots an angel, so they arent very knowledgeable about cockers, except to tell me that once its working, dont mess with it : : : : : thanks for the help
