CAUTION

• Read the entire manual before using the Griffin.

• The Griffin is not a toy. It can cause serious injury or death.

• Wear approved eye and head protection, even when test firing.

• The compressed air source used with the Griffin can cause serious injury or death.

• Sale or use of the Griffin is not intended for individuals under the age of 18.

• The Griffin is to be used only as described in this manual.

• Fire only 0.68 caliber paintballs from the Griffin.

• Check the velocity of your Griffin before each use. Not to exceed 300 fps.

fied airsmith:

1. The air source bottle valve unscrews from the bottle.

2. The gun double fires (other than when you are running out of air).

SPECIFICATIONS

Air Source Installation

Once the Griffin is properly cocked with the safety on you can

pressurize it with C02, regulated compressed air or nitrogen. Only

after you understand how to handle it safely should you attempt to

pressurize your Griffin.

Proper Seating of Air Source

The bottle O-ring provides the seal, so just tighten the bottle until

it is snug. You should hear a brief hiss as the bottle valve opens

during the last 1/2 turn. Over tightening can damage the Griffin.

If a leak persists, replace the bottle O-ring.

CAUTION

Depressurize the Griffin (remove the bottle) unless you

are about to use it. Do not unscrew the bottle from the

bottle valve; you may turn the bottle into a rocket!

OPERATION

Before pressurizing, check that the Griffin is cocked but not

loaded. If not cocked, air may leak until the cup seal seats.

Also, if not cocked the Griffin can fire as it is being pressur-

ized.

Cocking

To cock the Griffin, pull the cocking pin rearward until it latches.

Be careful, if you let go before it latches, the Griffin can fire. DO

NOT DRY FIRE THE GRIFFIN (To pull the trigger, the safety

must be disengaged.)

Install a 7/8 elbow with loader on the ball feed tube. Following

the directions of the manufacturer, fill the loader with .68 caliber

paintballs.

Trigger Safety

The Griffin has a trigger safety to help prevent accidental firing.

With the Griffin pointing away from you, engage the safety by

pushing it to the right. When the safety is toward the left the

Griffin can then be fired. The safety may not engage unless the

Griffin is cocked. Remember, the only time the Griffin is truly

safe is when it is unloaded and depressurized

Firing

To fire the Griffin, point it in a safe direction, away from yourself,

and pull the trigger. The trigger safety must be off; that is to the

left. Fire the Griffin as often as you like with air, with or without

paintballs in it. This helps break it in and makes it operate

smoother.

Uncocking

Before uncocking, unload. Rotate your gun to the side so paint-

balls in the chamber and elbow roll back into the loader. Take a

couple of shots in a safe direction to insure that the barrel is

empty. If you uncock with a ball in the chamber, it will be forced

forward into the barrel. Later when you recock, a second ball will

enter the chamber. If two balls are fired at once, they may break.

To finish uncocking, unscrew the air source, pull back the cocking

pin, pull the trigger and let the assembly move forward slowly.

DO NOT DRY FIRE THE GRIFFIN. (To pull the trigger, the

safety must be disengaged.)

Air Source Removal

Once the Griffin is properly uncocked with the safety on you can

depressurize it. To depressurize the Griffin, slowly unscrew the

air source paying special attention to the bottle valve. DO NOT

UNSCREW THE BOTTLE VALVEFROM THE BOTTLE.

UNSCREWING THE VALVECOULD CAUSE SERIOUS

INJURY OR DEATH.

WARNING

Avoid dry firing (without air) — damage to the

valve body, stop pin, and cup seal can occur.

TUNING YOUR GUN

Regular tuning is essential. But don’t waste time trying to tune a

gun which is:

• Dirty or poorly lubed

• Has a damaged striker O-ring

• Low on air

• Has the wrong O-rings installed

Check velocity to ensure it is not too high. It was set to 260 fps

at the factory, but it will change over time, and with temperature. Velocity Adjustment Procedures

Before adjusting velocity make sure the striker plug is screwed in

all the way. Your gun must be properly lubricated and free of all

dirt and debris.

Insert 1/4 hex wrench (provided) into the velocity adjustment

screw located in the striker plug as shown in the diagram below.

Turn clockwise to increase velocity. Turn counter clockwise to

decrease velocity. Check your velocity on a reliable chronograph

every quarter turn until desired velocity is reached.

CAUTION

Do not adjust velocity with the striker plug

partially unscrewed. If it is later screwed back

in, the velocity may be dangerously high.

PLAY SAFE!

FIELD MAINTENANCE

Before each use, your gun must be cleaned, lubed, and tuned.

Field Stripping

To field strip your gun (refer to illustrations):

1. Depressurize gun (remove air source)

2. Unload gun.

3. Uncock gun.

4. Unscrew barrel.

5. Unscrew bolt plug.

6. Pull cocking pin straight out from gun.

7. Remove bolt from front or rear of gun.

8. Swab bolt chamber back to front.

Reverse order for reassembly.

MAINTENANCE

AIR SOURCE MUST BE REMOVED BEFORE

ANY MAINTENANCE CAN BE PERFORMED

Barrel

To clean the barrel, unscrew it from the main body and swab back

to front. When paintball gelatin residue builds up, clean with

warm soapy water or rubbing alcohol. Residue build up hurts

accuracy.

Upper Chamber

Field strip as described on page 7 and use warm soapy water or

rubbing alcohol where needed to clean the rest of your Griffin.

Remove the bolt O-rings to remove paint and dirt build up from

the O-ring grooves.

Keep the bottle valve and adapter clean. Dirt entering here can

destroy the cup seal or valve body in one shot.

Lower Chamber

To clean the lower chamber perform steps 1-8 on page 7, then

remove striker plug assembly, striker spring and buffer.

Remove front and rear trigger housing screws and washers and

remove trigger housing. (Notice front screw is longer with a pilot

on it to secure the valve body.)

Slide striker out the rear of the gun. If needed, insert a small

object into the bottom slot of the main body, to assist in sliding

the striker out the rear of the gun.

Clean all major components of the gun.

Inspect all O-rings and replace as needed.

Apply AIRLUBE upon assembly of all moving parts.

Reassemble parts in reverse order, making sure to include trigger

housing washers. Be very careful not to force parts back together,

or permanent damage may occur.

The following parts should not be removed for

routine maintenance:

Cup Seal And Valve Body

Easily damaged when removed. In clean conditions these have

lasted for more than 250,000 shots. If exposed to dirt, the cup seal

will wear rapidly.

Reservoir Plug O-rings

Usually damaged only during removal
