Maintaining a Viking Properly

[P8ntball_89]

when you go to play


1. take off macroline

2. put 2 drops of oil into reg input

3.put back macroline

4. turn on gun

5. flip around bolt

6. fire 20 times

7. flip around bolt

8. good to go

9. after day of pb is done turn off gun

10. clean barrel/hopper

11. remove bolt and place a drop of oil behind hammer

12. put bolt back in and move back and forth 15 times

13. remove bolt and clean chamber

put everything back in its case

if you leave your vike unplayed w/ for over a month air it up and cycle it a couple times.

if anything goes wrong or does not seem right contact a tech at AKA. REMEMBER YOUR VIKE HAS A LIFETIME WARRANTY! :D

What if you dont have a macro line? Hehe, Just putting it into the ASA works fine.

what about cleaning? how long will it take to clean it completely, and is it easy?

[bdpAKAknox]

if you mean taking the marker apart and cleaning it there is a link the Mark made that covers this subject, here it is

EDIT: is it Mark or Marc? sorry i cant remember.

[CervezadelosTicos138]

i saw that already thanks. but i dont have a vike, and i was wondering how long it takes to take gun apart and clean it, and put it back together. and also if it is easy?

[DeePa]

it took me (my first time) 2 hours to rebuild teh sidewinder and SCM (they didnt really need it, but why not) and take apart everything from the viking, clean it all down, relube, and reinstall all the parts.

What oil do you recommened for step 2 and 11?

[TreyV]

The AKA extreme lube that comes with the gun. Otherwise it can be ordered direct from AKA or many of the places that sell AKA aftermarket parts.

[The True BushMaster]

Does anyone know if Extreme Lube is bad for a Palmer Female Stabilizer? I'm not sure and don't really want to mess it up.

Thanks

[Grazfather]

it should be fine. stabs take synthetic oil.

[The True BushMaster]

Alright, thanks.

[greenshoes3]

can you put white lithium to lube a viking?

[[-o-]]

how often do you have to lube the regs?
is gold cup ok to use?

[P8ntball_89]

can you put white lithium to lube a viking?

Of course you can, it will just mess it up really good.

is gold cup ok to use?

No, just use AKA oil.
