Well, I received my Grey Spirit today. I am very pleased with the over all apperance of the gun. There are two things about it that I have questions with.

1. How do you change (can you) the velocity?
-The internals remind me of my old Spartan. The Spartan came with a long rod that was used to change the velocity. It looks like that may be how you do it here.

2. Did they come stock without a pin depresser in the asa?
-The guy included two tanks, both with on/offs. I thought that was nice and then I noticed that the asa does not have a post to depress the pin on a tank. There are three holes in the asa and the middle one is threaded. I had a VM that had a set screw threaded into the center of the asa to push the pin down. Is that what this gun would need as well.

Thanks all for the good info.

*I am not at home or I would include pictures. The box arrived as I was packing up the trip to visit my father-in-law for the weekend. I of course took it with me.

With the Lapco guns I have had they had adjustable bolts and you could use a velocity tool (long allen wrench/hex rod) or remove the barrel and use a standard allen wrench. As for the pin less asa just a set screw will take care of it. You will just have to play with the length till you get it set where it will open the valve on the tank.
Hope that helped!

Thanks Crash,

That helps a lot. I did just play with my Phantom vel tool and figured out that worked. Luckily I decided to bring that with me this weekend.

Thanks.

Yes, the Phantom adjuster with the black plastic piece removed works perfectly to adjust the LAPCO bolt. The ASA does require a long setscrew in it to act as a pin depressor. They came stock with this, so yours got lost somewhere along the way.

Congrats on the acquisition by the way. I just recently picked up a Grey Spirit myself and I quite enjoy it. It's one of the smoothest and most well made guns in my collection.
