#1 pen spring mod: Take a pen that is very easy to click down, take out the spring. Look at your stock spring and see how long it is. Cut the pen spring so that it is 2 coils longer than the stock one. Put the new spring under a book for like 5 minutes so that it will return the trigger better. Then just replace the stock spring with the new one! This should make your trigger pull Very light.
#2 polished internals: Ok this mod requires some aluminum polish (a brand called mother's mag works best) a dremmel tool (with a buffing attachment) and some steel wool. ok now that you have the stuff here’s how you do it: take apart your gun so that all you have are the two receivers (all the guts are out) take the steel wool and gently scrape off all the anodizing off the insides of the receivers (especially the part where the bolt goes and the trigger section) The anodizing is the black stuff that looks like paint on the inside of the receivers. Once it is all scraped out take the aluminum polish and put some of it on the buffing part for the dremmel. Use the dremmel to polish the internals to an (almost) mirror shine *bling bling* once it is all polished oil the gun up (the internals will rust easier now if not properly taken care of) and put in your guts. The purpose of this mod is to make it easier for the bolt to move inside the gun which causes less wear and makes your gun fire more smoothly.
#3 rubber band mod: very simple but you wont believe how lighter the trigger pull will be. For this mod all you need it 3 orthodontic rubber bands (the small kind) take three of the rubber bands and replace the sear spring with them (it has to be 3 or the gun wont recock and can misfire) this will make it very easy to shoot the gun making higher rates of fire possible.
#4 make a drop forward: this mod will actually work for any gun but I did it first on my tippy) ok first get a piece of metal (steel or aluminum work best) it should be like 3-5 inches long (depending on how big you want your drop to be) once u have your metal, mark how long the base of your grip is on the metal then bend it in a vice so it is straight. then bend the other side in the opposite way so it looks like a "Z" then drill holes in it to fit your grip/asa you can use the holes in your asa as a template. Then put it on your gun and get ready to play!
Yay well that’s my post I hope it helps and ill add more later

I just did the trigger spring mod. It worked perfectly. I used a papermate flex grip ultra's spring. It was the perfect size, and didn't even have to cut it. I'll probably polish my internals tomorow.
There are other methods of doing them but I have found these to be the easiest and most effective. Enjoy!

I find it better to use the Q-Tip method rather than layers of tape. Just cut a piece of Q-Tip .9 centimeters long and put it in the trigger spring. I will greatly reduce the trigger pull.
I got this idea from "Wilderboy" of the www.a5ownersgroup.com but I did this myself.
I've put a sling on my A-5 before and I personally do not like the around the barrel sling not to mention putting all the pressure on the back ring like most vertical slings do. A genuine firearms company named "Uncle Mike's" makes a swivel screw and swivel sling clip which I provided pictures for below.
The screws replace the stock screw at the sight and back site whereas you can attach the swivel clip.
got to model98.net- they have alot of mods that help-and i dont know what i did wrong but the rubberbands failed on me after i have used them 5-6 times
