I just got one a week ago, mine was like that too, starting to loosen up a bit now. Personally I'd rather it tight that loose and falling out. :grin:

Never, EVER, use a solvent. You can use a bit of lithium grease on the outside surfaces. It's white, available at Canadian Tire if you cant find pure silicone oil/grease.

I noticed your age... this will raise MANY red flags. I hope to god that you play with direct parental supervision in an airsoft field that allows minors.

I don't play outdoors...

The point is that you should not even own an airsoft gun unless you are under parental supervision all the time. Sorry, that's life.
If you bought it yourself, someone did something illegal.

Read a bit more of the general rules and laws, plus the consequences. Play under supervision only, no matter where.

Squibber · April 5th, 2006, 21:43

Well, my parents bought it for me. And is it against the law to play without parental supervision?

pvted · April 5th, 2006, 22:53

Actually you shouldnt even have it if ur under 18 lol but no 1 relli gives the sheet jus keep a low profile wit it

Squibber · April 5th, 2006, 23:43

Well, read my profile, reconsided what you accually think my maturity level is at this age. But I will be very cautious with my thompson and M4, thanks for the input guys.

Squibber · April 5th, 2006, 23:44

And you guys do know that it's 16 age limit here in calgary to own one eh? you just need someone over 18 to buy it for you.

mcguyver · April 5th, 2006, 23:46

Not just in Calgary, but throughout Alberta I believe. I love Alberta.

Squibber · April 6th, 2006, 00:55

Yea, gota love our love age rules!!!

Squibber · April 6th, 2006, 00:57

wait a sec, spelling mistake, take the second "love" out of there.

It is not a matter of maturity, it's a Law. Like voting, you can be as mature as you want, but you still must be 18.
You are not supposed to even have that gun in your hands if the over-18 person who bought it is not present. If they did not read the laws, what can I say?
If something bad happens (not necessarily your fault), someone will get the blame. Because you are 15, that blame will be put on the adult who bought the gun. They risk a whole lot of shit just so you can play.

Because airsoft is seen as replicas, it's about the same as if your parents had bought you a real machine gun. Think about what that means legally.

"Maturity" is not breaking laws, and not shoving the responsibility of those laws on others.

Those laws are good across Canada, by the way. Keep that in mind. All I can say is Think and Be Careful.
