    RT classic on/off

    I have been trying to troubleshoot my RT for a while and have replaced a few parts but it still is not working properly. it never quite fires properly. Just inquiring if this on/off looks normal for a RT classic, 6 pictures in an album

    Its a little dinged up o the bottom, but it is an RT on-off assembly.

    What are the symptoms of your problem.
    Except for the Automag in front, its usually the man behind the equipment that counts.

    I don't know right this second, I was just checking since I thought that might be the suspect. I have not aired it up in a while but when I did it would fire it would sputter a bit and chop paint until it stopped, I assume bolt stick. I will get air and test it out tomorrow.

    Did you get it fixed? I've been out of the game for a long while. First time I aired up my classic RT it did the same thing. Pulled the valve and the bumper behind my bolt had basically turned to gum over the years. Replaced the bumper. Cleaned the bolt. and no sticky bolt firing.

    I have not. I have replaced all the orings from the RT parts kit but no luck. I contacted Tuna to send it away but not sure if I am willing to spend nearly $100 to get it fixed. I am really just thinking I might sell it as is to fund other projects.

    I dont have a shop here in austin but if I did, i doubt they would know much about mags.

    **Edit: given that the on/off is dinged up. would a new one be a good idea?
