No dmg to the threads on either the screw or the hole, and voila! Flashlight installed. Looks hella mean, and I get lots of compliments on the looks of my marker. I ordered an SP8, should be here soon, can't wait to try it. See you on the field....hopefully before you see me Nick G-Dawg,

Couple questions... Are you using CO2 or compressed air? With CO2 the SP-1 and Vibe will not fire until the pressure from liquid CO2 drops down to proper levels. Was there any pressure making it to the marker? When you pulled the trigger was there a hissing or puffing sound? Thats often a sign that there is too much grease on the bolt. Honestly, I haven't tried out putting a Mini Mag flashlight in there because I have a rail-mount flashlight with pressure switch for night games so couldn't tell you about the silver pin. I talked to Smart Parts today about several things and one of them was a comprehensive online guide with pictures regarding maintanence for their various markers. Hopefully we will see these soon. Otherwise, if there are any concerns with your SP-1 definitely give them a call. I've met several of their techs who are very cool and patient people, and check out the Smart Corps forums as well.

I have encountered a few problems with my SP1, first of all the gun wouldn't fire for the first few games of the day and just beeped at me. And the integrated flashlight mount, when I tried to put the light in the little silver pin wouldnt come out and i didn't want to gauge it out with a knife. I was just wondering what your ideas/thoughts are about these other then these it seems like a great gun. Thanks for the great breakdown of the sp1 it helped alot the first time i cleaned it.
