I honestly don't know if makes any difference or not, but I like having an aluminum lever in place of the plastic one. It does have a slightly louder, metallic "click" to it when you cock it and pull the trigger with no air. <br /> <br />One thing to note on mine...the pull lever is held in place by the bottom guide post, which mounts to the rod itself...and after taking my A5 apart a couple times and swapping the lever for the stock one (for troubleshooting a different issue and putting all the stock parts back in), I noticed that the post and pull was loose. I tightened it the first time and when I had it out again, it was loose a second time. So I ended up putting some Lock-Tite on the threads and hopefully that will keep everything in place.
