Just wanted to thank ANS gear for posting this video. I bought a used AXE2.0 from a local player and went to play my first weekend with it. it chronoed low and erratic, was clear that the regulator screw and velocity screw had been more wear than you would expect... was able to fiddle with it enough to run it that day but was clear something was up. I watched this video and ordered some O-rings after adjusting the regulator and velocity screw to default settings it wouldn't cycle with any pressure out the barrel. So I swapped the new blue o-rings from ANS gear and she came right to life popping off like brand new. Thanks gents!!!

[@mattarchey559]

Hey man how the heck do I tell if the velocity is at around 190. And do I need to mess with the regulator? I just ordered it new online. I'm just trying to get info on it before it arrives

[@atomdragon]

I just want to say thank you! I had this issue of weak shots and rollouts once I started ramping on my Axe 2.0. I installed these orings on and it was night and day. Completely solved my issue. Now it's buttery smooth. I have the silver version so I would recommend others try on their marker if they're having issues. It might not be just limited to the olive marker.

[@ElBoRiCuA0514]

By any chance do you have a link or anything where I can find it? I’m having this issues but I can’t find the o ring anywhere 😔

[@jonathanolson4553]

Wow... this really seems like something Empire should recall or disclose.

[@marionavone6381]

I also found that the Tubes in the hand grip tend to loosen....I took the hand grips off and tightened those tubes and as I was in there I tightened the screws to the Regulator!

[@ak49zach51]

thank you so much for this. i got a 2.0 that was a dust black/sour apple fade colored gun for Christmas, first game i played with it the gun instantly had issues with ramping and not shooting with power. Like you said, the balls would just role out.

[@jaycemabry]

Just received my brand new AXE 2.0 from ANS today. It has this problem right out of the box. I pulled the bolt and it has the teal o rings already on it. I called and the only help they could offer me is to return the marker for repair. Not happy at all with ANS. Took a week to get the marker now I have to send it back and wait till they repair a brand new marker. They offer no return or exchange on anything.

[@Mindless-Productions]

ANS quality control lately is not there, been having issues with them myself. Sure they are willing to help because they're big but these issues shouldn't happen. I have got the wrong tank shipped to me, the wrong regulator color sent to me (they wont do anything with this cause they said it is the way HK sent it to them) Their picture showed blue and i recevied black lmao... My friend got a tank same time as me and the tank had a huge dent in it.... I won't be using them anymore.

[@foolishcreations2259]

You already know I be watching all the tech videos lol

[@esteven181]

Cant find the orings on the website help please

[@bluebeard6189]

If I would have watched this video 2 months ago, I would have gotten a killer deal.

[@JLMtime]

I just ordered 12 of the teal o-rings thanks roy

[@jahblair4045]

I can’t find them

[@THATHATSALLFOLKS]

Link for orings

[@JWbabyshark]

Did the manufacturer outsource the bolt and they installed the wrong gas rings?

[@podium918]

So you guys sale axe2.0 o ring kits. Or should I reference the manual and purchase accordingly???

[@XGUTTAX]

I had the same issue with my black and copper axe 2.0 I purchase these o-rings and now the problem is solved

[@javierherrera5735]

If I decide to change these out even though I don’t have this problem. Would it be beneficial? Or can it ruin my marker?

[@TheMachaug]

i dont get it on my empire axe 2.0 my velocity wrench is smaller than the others on the gun ??? someone help pls.

[@THATHATSALLFOLKS]

Same problem on my new black gun

[@jayb2631]

I have a dust green original Invert Mini that is exhibiting the same issue. Just ordered orings. Thanks. What the hell is up with green?

[@jayb2631]

OK, bummer. My O-rings arrived and don't fit the Mini. Thought the bolt guide geometry was the same but an Invert Mini uses #17 O-rings in these locations. Is there an equivalent fix for those?

[@217RockStar217]

These orings are not available, I searched both terms, nothing is available for axe even kits.... Can you post a link???

[@jokerjoecert]

Had the same exact issue, switch the o-rings out works like a charm. Thanks for helping me out ansgear.com

[@netsua17]

Not sure if you guys will see this as it’s an old vid, but you don’t sell the teal O-ring anymore. Where would I be able to get that size of one? Or is there one you do sell that is similar enough

[@12ozMousee]

did you ever find them? i havent shot my marker yet but it's used and not sure if i will face this issue or not

[@scottwest8742]

i ordered 12 of the 118-70 teal o rings and i just opened them up, they sent me 018-70 and they are too small for my marker...

[@pandabear17cf]

I believe the same thing happened with mine they’re marked 118-70 but are less than the inner diameter of the original orings

[@scottwest8742]

@@pandabear17cf try giving them a call and send them some pictures as proof. The ended up sending me the new ones for free

[@leon94mills14]

Hey do you ship to the uk i have a green axe nothing has gone wrong yet but would like them seals just in case it does go

[@GentlemenOfSport]

Already know foolish gaming is gonna watch this 😂😂

[@JesusGonzalez-fe7qo]

I order those teal o rings & I got sent smaller ones same exact part number as well ?

[@jeffgozum2938]

They're supposed to be smaller than the stock o-rings

[@marcospereira6684]

Hello, I would like to know which is the appropriate kit to change the o-ring just like the video. my Axe2.0 has the same problem. Thank you very much for the videos.

[@dannyks9113]

Bought a gun a I cant take the bolt off and it has paint around the velocity adjuster, bad company

[@JLMtime]

it sat too long in the factory this happens to alot of things not just paintball markers just move the reg in and out re grease everything it will work perfect

[@garyneumiiller4808]

[@johnnyjuice]

Looking for the o-ring you mentioned in the video 118-70 teal on the ans website. I found an 008-70 teal not sure if this is the right one. Can you help me out to clarify thank you in advance.
