WARNING

This Paintball Marker is not a toy. Misuse may cause serious injury or death. Eye protection designed specifically for Paintball must be worn by user and any other persons within 200 yards (183 meters) of this Marker. Must be at least 18 years old to purchase, at least 14 years old to use or operate under adult supervision, 10 years of age or older to use or operate on insured Paintball fields meeting ASTM-standard F1777-97. Read owner’s manual prior to using or operating this Paintball Marker. .

WARRANTY

Bob Long Technologies warrants our paintball markers to be free from defect in materials and workmanship for a period of 1 year from purchase date. This warranty will only be honored for the initial retail purchaser and is nontransferable. Wear items such as batteries and seals are not covered under warranty. Main PCB, electropneumatic solenoid, eye PCB’s and wire harnesses will be covered under warranty for a period of 6 Months from purchase date.

This warranty does not cover:

>Any system failure resulting from the use of a non-authorized propellant. The only authorized propellants are nitrogen or compressed air.

>Damage to electro-pneumatic solenoid resulting from external air source regulation failure. The use of an external regulated air source is your choice, so research well and choose wisely.

>Damage to electro-pneumatic solenoid from foreign objects, specifically Teflon® tape.

>Surface damage such as scratches, nicks, or dings.

>Improper disassembly or re-assembly.

>Improper lubrication. The only authorized grease for maintaining a Bob Long marker is Molykote® 55 made by the Dow Corning Corporation (Dow 55). Authorized oil is limited to Tri-flow® or any other synthetic oil made specifically for maintaining a paintball marker.

>Modification or any other alteration of a marker or its parts. Dremels, acid, most things involving a show on the Bravo network or HGTV fit in this category.

>Misuse of any conceivable kind. Basically if it involves law enforcement officers, the phrase “I hope we don’t get caught!”, use as a pry bar, or other things that would have made it into an episode of the show Jackass.

This warranty is limited to repair or replacement of defective items with the initial retail purchaser to pay shipping costs. The initial retail purchaser must enclose a copy of the original sales receipt with the marker to be repaired for this warranty to be honored.

Quick Start

Installing Air Tank

Much like any other tournament marker, the Victory requires the use of compressed air or nitrogen only. Use of a low pressure compressed air system is recommended with each Bob Long marker. If using an adjustable-output air system, set the system’s output to between 450 and 550 psi. Make sure the ASA (Air Source Adapter) is in the off position by turning the chrome cam drive knob on the bottom of the ASA. Attach your compressed air tank by screwing it into the ASA. When you are ready to chrono your marker turn the cam drive knob clockwise until it completes turning – this is shortly after you hear air pressurizing the marker.

Powering On Marker

Press and release the power button on the back of the grip frame to turn the marker on. The startup sequence has a battery indicator which will show the current power level of your battery with a flickering red, yellow, or green LED light as the marker powers up. If the LED is showing Red on startup replace the battery before using your marker.

After the startup battery indication the LED will display a solid or blinking blue light.

To power off marker: Press and hold the power button for 1.5 seconds, until the LED turns off, then release. Every time the marker is turned on, the eyes are enabled. The marker can be turned off regardless of the state of the eyes.

Adjusting Velocity

Both the High Pressure and Low Pressure regulators on the Victory come preset from the factory. Prior to play you may need to adjust them to account for paint to bore match, atmospheric differences, and your field’s maximum chronograph limit. The velocity of your marker is controlled through the HPR, which is adjusted with a 1\8” hex wrench.

Turning the screw clockwise (or inward) will increase your velocity; turning the screw counterclockwise will decrease your velocity. Only turn the wrench 1/8th -1/16th of a turn with each adjustment.

Turning Eyes On/Off

Each time the marker is turned on the eyes are enabled regardless of status when the marker was shut off. To disable the eyes briefly press and release the power button when the marker is turned on. Briefly press it a second time to re-enable the eyes.

Adjusting the Trigger

The Victory trigger has two adjustment screws. The bottom screw is for trigger post-travel and the top screw adjusts the activation point (where the marker fires). To adjust the screws insert a hex key and turn the screw. The screws have Loctite to prevent the adjustment from slipping, so a firm steady pressure is needed for the adjustment.

Removing/Replacing Trigger

For most operation and maintenance the trigger does not need removal. If an aftermarket trigger is being installed or debris enters the trigger area removal and cleaning may be necessary.

1.In order to remove the trigger use a 5/64” hex wrench to remove the trigger mounting screw. The trigger will slide towards the front of the grip frame when the mounting screw is removed. If you have any problems removing the trigger from the front remove the grip frame then remove the trigger from the top.

2.The Victory trigger is a new design and is not backwards compatible with Generation 1 Marqs. The major difference with the new trigger is the offset geometry to accommodate the grip frame’s internal air channel.

3.Ensure that the bearing spacer is in the right side of the grip frame when installing a trigger. The picture to the right shows the position of the spacer with the grip frame removed.

Maintaining the Eyes and Detents

In the event of a chopped ball or debris in the breach, your Victory eyes may need cleaning.

1.Remove the eye cover screw using a 5/64” hex wrench, and remove the eye cover.

2.Remove the detent and spring by pressing on the detent from inside the chamber.

3.Carefully unscrew the PCB retaining screw. (Phillips head)

4.Gently tilt the eye PCB away from the body of the marker.

5.Use a clean cotton swab to clean the surface of the eye, the eye holes, detent and detent hole. Dampen the swab with alcohol if necessary.

6.If removing the eyes from the wiring harness unplug the harness from the eye PCB by pulling on the white plug and not the wires. Pulling on the wires could potentially damage your harness.

7.After the eye, detent, and mounting area have been sufficiently cleaned, reinstall the PCB and reinstall the PCB retaining screw and eye cover.

•The 4C eye system will allow for higher rates of fire through quicker cycling times.

•To determine whether the 4C eyes are installed refer to the picture at the bottom left. The 4C eyes have more components as well as the number 4 silk screened onto the PCB.

•The standard Delrin detents can be replaced with the Super Ds - an upgraded Type III anodized detent. If the Super Ds are used the sides of the detents must be greased slightly. Also, the Super Ds must be rotated slightly each time the eyes are cleaned in order to ensure even wear.
