during high rates of fire. I currently use a modified Sportshot Hopper that

feeds great at about 6 to 7 bps that I can achieve in rapid fire. I find that an

agitating loader simply adds weight and is unnecessary.

Drop Forward:

This may be a matter of opinion on my part but I think that due to the risk of

the bolt smacking you in the mask when you re-cock the marker a straight rail

is probably the best option when mounting your tank. I have used the CCM®

straight rail and even there small drop (mounted in reverse) with great

success. I find it allows me to go off hand a little easier and lessens the

chance of me getting lens bite.

What To Do:

Beside sweet spotting the regulator, buying fresh high quality paint, getting a

fast feeding hopper, and a quality tank and tank regulator – you can polish the

guide rods, the hammer and lug, the cocking rod, and the sear.

I use a polishing wheel (simply a polishing wheel attached to one side of a

bench grinder) and I start with Non-Ferrous Rouge and finish with Jewelers’

Rouge. Non-Ferrous Rouge is gray in color and can be aggressive. Go slow

and pay attention. Both markers come fairly well polished so a little can go a

long way. When you get the stainless parts very shiny clean the wheel and

change to the Jewelers’’ Rouge (which is deep red in color).

After achieving a mirror finish on these parts – reassemble the marker and

test them out. You will notice a bit more smoothness – it won’t be miraculous

– but it will be a bit faster. I touch these parts up from time to time to keep

them very smooth.

On the Series 5 Basic you could save up and buy a CCM® Deluxe kit for it.

CCM® sells these in the same color and dust as the Basic and will match

perfectly. The Economy Pump Kit is a very good kit and you will not see

massive performance increases when switching to the Deluxe Kit – but it is an

option.

CCM® also makes acrylic, colored, and clear pumps and triggers that can be

purchased as well. These will add no performance but for those that like to

accessorize – they are there for you.
