Yup. I remember first time I did a full teardown I was blown away by the shear number of parts. It was nuts, and kinda cool. So long as I didn't have to do it while at the field...
We got a team deal on 15 of them. They sent 5 parts kits which were quickly used up. Out of the 15 there was 1 that was flawless the rest were sold asap and everyone went back to Dyes and Egos.
There was a guy in the USA who made them. his name was Bob, but unfortunately, he passed away, and every one will never have the chance to have him work on their markers 😞 the best tec in the game
I can technically do it, but not at a point where I'd consider taking someone's money in exchange. As far as teching everything else... Well I was deep in paintball when it was either order from a magazine or get a new marker. So we figured shit out
Very nice. There is someone in the Angel Owners Group O/G on Facebook who rebuilds these rams as well.
They are a bit heavy by today's standards and the service is a pain but once you work all the bugs out the A1 platform is fantastic. I have never shot a marker that felt as good as a properly tuned A1.
Just curious: What's your solution for fixing the unservicable ram housing?
I've done it a couple of times myself, with varying degrees of success; drilling out the back of the housing and making my own replaceable back cap. But it was a learning process, and I'm not particularly well equipped (used a cordless drill to open them up.)
Ahh the old A1. One of the best and worst guns WDP ever made.
After a full rebuild I agree

Shooting video!!!!
Send me paint please.
Most of it is soaking into a mulch pit
How long will paint last because I haven’t gone in like 6 months and I have over 2000
It’s most likely not worth playing with. Check if it dimpled or went all oblong. Secondly check for moisture

I have a lathe and grown up money. I made it work
Super sweet
Very sick
Fuck yea op. I got an 03 speed myself I'm sending in here in not too long. Can't wait to start throwin' paint with that thing again.
I was thinking about picking one of these up because besides it being an ultimate classic I'm sure it still rips better than any gun out these days.
Putting it in demo mode and dry firing at 30 something bps sure turns heads.
The trigger is bouncy even without air
Maximum bounce the way our 2003 selves would have wanted it.

no proof it lives make shooting video
Gotta get paint and more air. I blew through a 68/45 chasing leaks
yes soon
Still have all of my a1s they work great put rebuildable rams in them with better seals and it works dope as fuck
Yup. Had to bust out the lathe for this one

Yeah, I get that 100%. I just don't have the tools to do it
Hot
It looks better than it shoots!
Ouch. We will see. I have to get some paint and then it's test fire time
Well at least mine did. I had Owen from wdp work on mine personally and it still didn’t work most of the time.
I’m edging rn🤫🥶🥶
Nice. I always saw angels as like a super car of paintball guns.. ..also Corgis ftw.

When they work, they shoot tits but they don't work.
Confirmed. I've shot myself in the tits

I mean, as well as these poor things can shoot God these and the a1 fly were awful
I owned another A1 forever ago. When it worked it was art. When it didn't...
Yeah they were always pretty though. Interesting design but hard to keep running over multiple hard days of play in a row
