Do not load or fire this marker until you have completely read this manual and are familiar with its
safety features, mechanical operation, and handling characteristics.
Handle this and any marker as if it were loaded at all times.
Keep your finger off of the trigger until ready to shoot.
Do not look down the barrel of a paintball marker. Accidental discharge into the eyes may cause
permanent injury or death.
Keep the marker on safe until ready to shoot.
Keep the barrel plug installed on marker when not shooting.
Never point the marker at anything you do not intend to shoot.
Never fire your marker at anything you do not intend to shoot because there may be balls or foreign
debris lodged in the chamber, barrel, and / or marker valve.
Do not shoot at fragile objects such as windows.
Never fire your marker at personal property of others; the paintball can stain the paint of automobiles
and houses.
Always keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction, even if you stumble or fall.
Eye, face, and ear protection designed specifically to stop paintballs in the form of approved goggles,
and full face mask should be worn by the user and any person within range.
Never shoot at a person who is not protected by eye, face, and ear protection designed for paintball.
Pressurize and load the marker only when the marker will be immediately used.
Before storing or disassembling, be sure to point your marker in a safe direction, fire several times to
be sure there are no balls lodged in the chamber and / or barrel or air left in the marker. Install barrel
plug.
Store the marker unloaded and degassed in a secured place.
Familiarize yourself with any warnings and instructions listed on the air supply cylinder.
Contact the air supply cylinder manufacturer with any questions.
Do not field strip or otherwise disassemble this marker while it is pressurized with air.
Dress appropriately when playing the game of paintball. Avoid exposing any skin when playing the
game of paintball; even a light layer will absorb some of the impact and protect you from the paintballs.
Keep exposed skin away from escaping gas when installing or removing air supply cylinder or if the
marker or air supply is leaking. Compressed air, CO2, and nitrogen gasses are very cold and can
cause frostbite under certain conditions.
Use only 68 caliber paintballs, never load or fire any foreign objects.
Avoid alcoholic beverages before and during the use of this marker. Handling markers while under the
influence of drugs or alcohol is a criminal disregard for public safety.
Avoid shooting an opponent at pointblank, 2 Meters or less.
Familiarize yourself with instructions listed on air supply cylinder or adaptor. Contact the air supply
cylinder or adaptor manufacturer with any questions.
Always measure your marker’s velocity before playing paintball, and never shoot at velocities in excess
of 300 feet per second.

WARNING:
Push to adjust stock position,
Pull down to install over bottle.
USE ONLY HIGH PRESSURE AIR (HPA). DO NOT USE CO2!
Your M17 XDC / DMR marker is factory preset to accept air via a 13CI HPA (High Pressure Air) Bottle. Your DMR includes a
MILSIG Factory 13CI HPA bottle with MILSIG NODE™ Air Regulator. The MILSIG NODE™ Air Regulator has features that
make it the best functioning Air Regulator for your M17 paintball marker, these include: Pin-Valve-Less Design, Built in On / Off,
Adjustable Bonnet Positions, and Adjustable output pressure (Vendor Serviced)
We recommend the use of a MILSIG 13CI HPA bottle with MILSIG NODE™ Air Regulator for optimal marker performance.
HPA BOTTLE INSTALLATION
A.
B.
C
D.
Ensure breech is empty and barrel plug is installed (see P.3)
Ensure that the HPA regulator output pressure is set between 600 and 850psi, and has adjustable bonnet positions.
Lower Stock Guide Rail and insert bottle into back of the marker, turn clockwise to tighten.
With the Air Bottle In place, check the position of the fill nipple and pressure gauge. If either the fill nipple or pressure
gauge obstructs the guide rail, follow the Regulator Manufacturer’s guide to reposition the Air Regulator.
Install stock over the bottle and adjust to the desired position, fill Air Bottle to appropriate air pressure.

ENSURE that the Air Bottle is DE-PRESSURIZED. Adjusting the Bonnet
position with a pressurized Air Bottle can cause personal injury.
Locate 3 Allen Set Screws inside Bonnet Adjustor Ring, illustrated as “B”.
Loosen all 3 Allen Set Screws with 2.0mm Allen Wrench, do not remove
completely.
Rotate Air Bottle or Bonnet to the desired position, retighten all 3 Allen Set
screws.
MILSIG NODE™ Regulator Built-In On / Off
Unlike conventional Air Regulators, the MILSIG NODE™ Air Regulator
does not use a pin valve to shut off airflow. Instead, it uses a built-in
air shut off that is controlled by a rotating On / Off ring. By eliminating the
use of a pin-valve, maximum air flow is achieved. The On / Off also serves
as a marker degasser. When the rotator ring is turned to the OFF postion,
the entire marker is degassed. This allows the Air Bottle to be removed
with the marker and ASA in a pressure-less state, which dramatically reduces
wear and tear on the marker ASA and the regulator bonnet.
To turn Air On, rotate On / Off rotator ring, illustrated as “A” from right to left;
To turn Air Off, rotate from left to right.
STEP 3B. ATTACHING BARREL AND ACCESSORIES
Insert barrel into marker, turn clockwise to tighten. Your M17 DMR comes with a 2 pcs ball sizer set. Use the size that most
closely matches your paintball size for best accuracy. Install barrel into ball sizer prior to installing barrel set. Your M17 marker
comes with detachable sights, which are not factory installed. Simply place sights at the desired rail position and tighten down
thumbscrews. (The XDC Front Sight requires the use of a 4mm Allen Wrench to tighten). NOTE: All thumbscrews and screws
should be placed on the left side of the marker. Any other accessory should be attached to the marker at this time.

Make sure the Marker is on safe by checking the Selector switch.
Fill Pre-Installed Air Bottle with HPA (High Pressure Air) Only.
Insert pre-filled Magazine, release safety, and fire several shots over chronograph to check initial muzzle velocity;
the factory setting is approximately 275fps, but a + / - 15 fps variance can occur due to different playing environments.
Increase velocity by turning velocity adjustment set screw clockwise, or decrease velocity by turning Adjustment Screw
counterclockwise. Fire several shots to retest velocity once further adjustments are made.
NOTE:
Allow Air Pressure to stabilize inside the marker after every velocity adjustment by firing multiple
shots over the Chronograph. Velocity changes may require several shots before taking effect.
Marker may discharge one single shot when it is first aired up. This is caused by a bolt left in its
forward position from previous use. The bolt will reset itself and is not a sign of a malfunction.
WARNING:
DO NOT EXCEED 300 FPS, DOING SO IS UNSAFE FOR YOURSELF AND OTHER
PLAYERS AROUND YOU AND CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO YOU MARKER.

TRIGGER ADJUSTMENT
Your M17 marker is designed to function primarily as a Semi-automatic fire, Mechanical Magazine Fed Marker. It is tuned
for maximum efficiency and accuracy in this firing mode. It also has a Full Automatic fire capability that can be used
periodically to enhance your gameplay. While the default Semiautomatic fire mode will function within the normal working
perimeters of the marker, the Full Automatic firing mode has more specific perimeters that must be met for smooth operation.
A.
B.
C.
Muzzle Velocity must be set between 240 fps and 290fps
Air tank input pressure must be between 600 and 850psi (Do NOT exceed 850PSI!)
Trigger must be properly set
The Trigger may need periodic adjustment for the Full Automatic fire mode to function smoothly. Full Automatic Fire can only
be achieved when the Trigger Adjuster (illustrated as “B”) is set to its “sweetspot”. The sweetspot location changes
with the system operating pressure or muzzle velocity.
For example, if the marker is set up for use at an outdoor field at 280fps, and then lowered to 240fps for indoor use, the
Full Auto mode may not function smoothly. A small adjustment may be necessary once the marker is set at the lowered velocity,
and again when the velocity is raised back up for outdoor use. Note that your M17 trigger is factory preset at 275fps.

Remove magazine or hopper and clear the marker of paintballs. (The entire Trigger Adjustment process is
performed by dry firing only.)
Ensure that there is sufficient Air Pressure inside the Air Bottle.
With Selector Switch set to Full Auto Fire mode, pull the trigger and perform a 2-3 second burst.
Note how the marker behaves during the burst test, if the Full Auto Burst is inconsistent, or that the marker misfires,
the Trigger Adjuster will need to be tightened. If the marker does not sustain a steady burst, or that it only shoots
Semiauto, the Trigger Adjuster will need to be lossened. If the maker does a steady burst, no adjustment is needed.
To adjust, lossen the Trigger Adjuster Set Screw (labeled as “A” on the diagram above) by turning it counterclockwise
with a 1.5mm Allen Wrench; do not completely remove.
Insert a 2.5mm Allen Wrench into the Trigger Adjuster (labeled as “B” on the diagram above) and turn clockwise to
tighten, and counterclockwise to loosen. Turn Trigger Adjuster only 1/8th of a turn at a time, and fire a test burst after
every minute adjustment. Once you are able to achieve a smooth burst, the Trigger is set.
Tighten Trigger Adjuster Set Screw “A” by turning it clockwise. Turn it until finger snug, do not overtighten.

BOLT RESET HANDLE (BRH)
PUSH IN
BEFORE
USING
MARKER
PULL
TO
RESET
BOLT
B
A
The BOLT RESET HANDLE (BRH) is located on the top of the receiver, directly under the Top Rail. Its shape and location on
the receiver is the same as that of a real Armalite Rifle. However, it DOES NOT FUNCTION AS A COCKING HANDLE, and there
is NO NEED to “rack” it to put the marker into battery before use. Your M17 marker utilizes the MILSIG HEAT CORE™
operating system, which is a “blowforward” operating system. The bolt will automatically go into battery when the marker is
aired up.
There are two common scenarios which will require the use of the Bolt Reset Handle, they are as follow:
A.
B.
A stuck bolt caused by a paintball or FIRST STRIKE round break inside the breech of the marker
A spluttering bolt caused by insufficient air pressure (low air or velocity set too low)
To Reset The Firing Bolt
A.
B.
C.
D.
Put the marker in SAFE MODE
With the marker pointing away from you, grab the Bolt Reset Handle Retention Hinge
(Located on the left hand side of the Bolt Reset Handle, illustrated as “A”) and the Bolt Reset Handle (illustrated as “B”)
simultaneously and pull the BRH towards you until its furthest back position. Note that the travel distance of the handle
is very short, at approximately 5cm or 2”. Do NOT release the BRH at this point.
Manually push the BRH back inside the marker to its most forward postion.
Take appropriate measures to further troubleshoot marker if necessary.
WARNING!
DO NOT operate your M17 marker before the Bolt Rest Handle is pushed into its most forward position, firing the
marker with the BRH pulled back can cause the marker to malfunction, and potentially damage the BRH or the marker
itself. The firing bolt is directly linked to the BRH, and it moves with tremendous force during the firing cycle;
therefore, the BRH must be in its most forward position to ensure the firing bolt’s travel path is not obstructed.
The BRH is spring loaded and will pull itself forward under spring tension. However, do NOT release the BRH when it
is at its most back position, thus allowing it to return to the forward position solely under spring tension. Doing so will
cause the BRH to slam forward into the marker body with more force than is neccessary, thus causing unneccessary
wear and tear to the BRH and the marker body itself. Please note that any damage to your M17 marker caused by misuse
of the BRH is NOT covered by the limited warranty.
8
Adjustable Barrel Retainer (ABR)
The ABR is designed to stabilize the barrel inside the shroud, which aids the marker’s accuracy. By keeping the barrel in a stable
position, the marker’s accuracy is increased as the shot placement consistency is improved. Installation of the ABR is optional.
To Install:
A.
B.
Remove barrel from marker if barrel is already installed.
Slide in ABR until it aligns with the set screw holes found along side your foregrip (shroud), install Allen Set Screws
with 2.5mm Allen Wrench. Do not overtighten the Set Screws.
Loosen three Polymer Allen Set screws found inside the ABR with 2.5mm Allen Wrench, do not completely remove.
Install Barrel, and tighten Polymer Set Screws until they are snug against the barrel’s surface.
C.
D.
To Adjust:
The barrel’s position can be slighly altered by nudging the barrel in the horizontal or vertical axis with the Polymer Set Screws,
simply tighten the set screws to push the barrel in the desired direction. Note that you may have to loosen one of the
horizontal set screws as you tighten the other one. The Polymer Set screws are single use only, the threads may give way
over time from pressure excerted on the barrel. Spares are included with your M17 XDC / DMR marker, and additional units
can be purchased from your vendor if needed.

Handling Characteristics of the HEAT CORE
Your M17 XDC / DMR Marker uses the latest generation of the MILSIG HEAT CORE™ blowfoward operating system.
It is tuned towards maximum efficiency as a semiautomatic magazine fed marker. While it is capable of Full Automatic fire, it is not
designed to be used as a competition type marker, which empathizes on delivering large volumes of fire.
In the default Semiautomatic mode, your M17 XDC / DMR marker is one of the most efficient in its class. Typically, under ideal
conditions, a properly filled 13CI HPA bottle at 3000psi will give you approximately 150-160 shots at 275fps. With moderate use
of Full Automatic mode, you can expect a decrease of approximately 10% to 15% in air efficiency.
When using in Full Automatic Mode, we recommend short bursts of approximately of 1-2 seconds in duration, which results in a
2-4rd burst of fire per trigger pull. As the HEATCORE system is 100% mechanically operated, you will notice a slight drop off in
velocity. To minimize this drop off effect, we recommend the use of the MILSIG 13CI HPA bottle with NODE™ regulator. This
Regulator is specially designed for use with the M17’s latest HEAT CORE system. Using an air source with inadequate flow rate
or improper pressure input may further increase drop off or cause damage to the HEAT CORE system. Do NOT under ANY
cirucumstances, use an Air Regulator with an output pressure exceeding 850psi!
NOTE:
FIRST STRIKE rounds are prized for their added range and accuracy. However, they are not designed for Full Automatic use.
While your M17 XDC / DMR marker can shoot FIRST STRIKE rounds in Full Automatic mode, we recommend against it. From
our own internal tests, we found FIRST STRIKE rounds more prone to breakage when fired in Full Automatic mode.
9
Additional Accessories / Set Up
Accessory Rails:
Your M17 XDC / DMR comes with both polymer and metal accessory rails. They can be mounted on one of seven sides
of your handguard (shroud). To install Accessory Rail, simply place rail over the desired position and install rail mounting
screw with 2.5mm Allen Wrench. We recommend using the polymer rails for non load bearing or light-weight add-ons
such as lasers or flashlights. For use with load bearing items such as bipods and sling mounts, use the metal rails only.
Adjustable Angle Riser Rail (A.A.R.R.):
Your M17 DMR includes an Adjustable Angle Riser Rail and rifle scope. Used together in conjunction, you will be
able to use the vertical hash marks on your scope to compensate for projectile drop off as your engagement range changes.
To adjust the A.A.R.R., turn the angle adjustment dial “A” to set the desired tilt angle. Lock the angle adjustment dial in
place by tightening the adjustment dial retaining screw “B”.
WARNING: Do NOT use your A.A.R.R. as a carrying handle. It is NOT designed to support the weight of the entire marker.
B
A
(Turn to adjust tilt angle)
Selector Switch / Safety:
Your M17 XDC / DMR selector switch is non abidexterous, however, you can swap its position from the left hand side
to the right hand side. Simply remove the selector switch by removing the selector switch locking screw with a 3.0mm
Allen Wrench. Re-install the selector switch on the opposite side of the grip frame and re-install locking screw.
Standardized AR Pistol Grip:
Your M17 XDC / DMR Pistol Grip is standard AR sized. The grip frame will accept most aftermarket pistol grips designed
for the Armalite Rifle. Do note that some aftermarket grips may not have contours that matches perfectly with your M17
grip frame. To change grip, simply remove grip locking screw with 3.0mm Allen Wrench.
Note: Some aftermarket grips may include its own grip screw, use ONLY the factory M17 screw to attach all grips.
WARNING:

A: Remove HEAT CORE From Marker. B: Check Bolt and Air Chamber for structure integrity, if any part of the Bolt and / or
Air Chamber is loose, rebuild as neccessary. C: Check all HEAT CORE O-Rings, replace if neccessary.
Loose Bolt or Air Chamber causing the HEAT CORE to not seal properly. Worn O-Ring(s) causing a bad seal.
Small Air Leak (hiss) from outside of the marker.
A: Listen for the leak and identify source. If leak is coming from the back of the marker, it may be the air source. If leak is
coming from the underside of the marker, it may be the air source or the PRV (Pressure Relief Valve). B: If leak is from air
source, replace o-ring. If leak is from PRV, check and adjust marker velocity as needed. If PRV continues to leak air when
marker is at a safe operating pressure, it may need to be rebuilt or replaced.
Bad o-ring on Air Source (Air Bottle) causing a leak around the ASA. Muzzle velocity of the marker set too high and PRV is
activated. A worn or stuck PRV internal air plug causing the PRV to bleed air inadvertently.
Air Bottle cannot be screwed into the marker all the way / Fill Nipple / Air Bottle Pressure Gauge obstructs the stock rail.
A: Use only an Air Bottle with an adjustable position bonnet. B: Follow the Air Bottle (Regulator) Manufacturer’s instruction
on Bonnet position Adjustment.
This is self explanatory.

C:
Body Screws too tight to remove / Sparks occur when twisting off Body Screws.
A: Use professional tools or purchase the “MILSIG PROFESSIONAL TOOL SET” for advanced marker servicing.
The marker’s body screws are all tightened with precision pneumatic tools at a preset tension. The tension is set high to
ensure that the receiver does not come loose under the tremendous stress of the HEAT CORE’s cycling. The included mini
tool set is designed for only basic maintenance and may not be sufficient to completely take down the marker. Sparks may
occur when loosening the body screws due to metal on metal friction and is no cause for alarm.

Can’t insert HEAT CORE back into marker once taken out.
A: Pull B.R.H. out, and place hammer guide pin under B.R.H. B: Pull trigger to prevent blockage of the HEAT CORE.
This is self explanatory.

C:
Trouble removing Barrel from marker / Barrel Back gets stuck to the marker but barrel threads out.
A: Always use Barrel O-Ring on all threaded points of barrels and / or barrel backs.
Overtightening of barrel into barrel block, worn or missing barrel o-ring causing too much friction between barrel and
mounting surface.
