If this does not clear the blockage use a swab to clean the inside of the breech.
For a more thorough cleaning, pull the Eye Pipe with the ball detents out the front of the breech.
With the Eye Pipe out use a swab to clean the breech. This should be enough to clean the eye
system. If the system needs further cleaning, pull out the eye carrier and eye wires through the
feed neck. To prevent damaging the eye wires, it is best to remove the frame and disconnect the
eye wires from the board. Use a soft rag and q-tips to clean off any built up paint or grease.
When re-assembling the eye guard system, work backwards from disassembly. The Eye Pipe is
keyed into the breech and can only go in one way.
NOTE: REGULAR EYE CLEANING IS RECOMMENDED EVEN IF NO PAINT IS BROKEN. CLEAN
THE EYES EVERY TWO MONTHS OR 10,000 SHOTS TO ELIMINATE ANY BUILT UP DIRT.
EXCESS GREASE CAN BUILD UP IN FRONT OF THE EYES. REMEMBER TO CHECK FOR THIS
AFTER GREASING THE BOLT AND CYCLING THE MARKER A FEW TIMES.
CHANGING BALL DETENTS
The ball detent system is clipped to the outside of the Eye Pipe. The ball detent system needs
little or no maintenance. The detents should easily flex out of the way with little force, such as a
paintball moving past. If you are experiencing double feeding or chopping, check the condition of
your ball detents with your finger to make sure they are not broken, stuck in the up or down
position, and that they move in and out of the breech freely. If excessive broken paint or dirt has
jammed your ball detents, remove the Eye Pipe/detent system from the front of the RAIL™ and
unclip the detents for a thorough cleaning. Reinstall the detents, and Eye Pipe after you have
sufficiently cleaned the detents and breech.
Be careful not to over-flex the detents when handling them. Excessive flexing could break or
damage the detents.
