Safe Mode (non-electronic models)
In this manual, you will see the term “SAFE”
mode. The Power should be OFF (Fig. 3.1) on
electronic grips, or the Safety should be set
to “SAFE” (red marking on safety will not be
visible) Fig. 3.2. Make sure your marker is set
to “SAFE” mode when indicated to do so.
Safe Mode (electronic models)
To determine if your marker is in the SAFETY
OFF position for Electronic Grip Frames,
you will see an illuminated GREEN light
(Fig. 3.3). To determine if your marker is in
the SAFETY ON position for the Electronic
Grip Frame, there will NOT be an
illuminated GREEN light (Fig. 3.4).
Make sure your marker is in the
“SAFETY ON” mode when indicated
to do so.
Barrel Installation (all models)
Make sure marker is degassed, hopper
removed, no paintballs in the feed port or breech and the marker is in “Safe” mode.
1. While pointing marker in a safe direction, place the threaded end of the barrel
into the front opening of the marker body (Fig. 3.5).
2. Turn the barrel clockwise until it
stops (do not over tighten).
3. Adjust the barrel accessories if
necessary.
4. Install a barrel blocking device. This
can be a barrel plug or other such
device that prevents the accidental
discharge of a paintball.
Barrel Shroud Adjustment Instructions
If the barrel shroud needs an adjustment to line up with the marker body, follow
these steps:
1. Locate the two set screws that hold the shroud in place, they are located on the
right side of the shroud, when the barrel is pointed away from you.
a. The first is located on the front sight, in line with the barrel.
b. The second is along the side of the shroud, close to the marker body.
2. Use the 3/32" Allen wrench to loosen both screws (turn counter-clockwise). It is
not necessary to remove them from the shroud.
3. Once both screws are loose and the shroud can move freely, line up the center
mold line on top of the shroud with the center line of the body shells on top of the
marker.
4. When aligned, tighten the two set screws using the 3/32" Allen wrench clockwise.
Be careful not to over-tighten, or it will scratch the barrel! The marker is now ready
for use.

1. Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the two grip
