Automag 68 PROBLEMS!!!

[OysterBoy]

Alright Im pissed off as my friggin mag wont fire, or at least not well.

I gas it up and shoot, and it will sound like things are fine but when i try to shoot, the ball will just get stuck about an inch into the barrel, and everynow and then the bolt sticks until I press the trigger a bit more. Earlier it was shooting fine, but now its not. Any help at all as soon as possible. Its brand new, but Im pissed right off.

you say the ball gets stuck in the barrel? it might be your velocity not hi enough or that you need a larger bore size barrel

^
that's not it. trust me.

how cold was it? were you using co2 or compressed air? What else have you added?

[OysterBoy]

ok, it was -20*C, and im using HPA. Havent added anything to the gun.

I turned the velocity up and it fired, but didnt sound right, it shot 3 at a time, then none, then the bolt stuck forward and blew out air, repeat until my tank was empty. Also the trigger pin isnt coming out to reach it sometimes.

GAH im mad, payed 300 to have a nice headache, it seems..

[bokraham]

-20* C!!! how could you play when it is that cold out? That's the problem. even if you arn't using co2 your o-rings can still freeze. Check the o-rings in the on/off.

[OysterBoy]

all of the orings looked fine, i was in my garage and it really wasnt very cold. It was shooting fine after I turned up the velocity (lol, im stupid) from 1000PSI till about 500, then it started bolt sticking, shooting 3 at a time, not shooting, etc.

Ill take it to a pro shop tommorow, but man am i agravated...

[mcveighr]

Mine doesn't even shoot below 900psi.

So it deffinitly wont function @ 500.

[bokraham]

yeah when mine gets low on co2 the ball gets stuck in the barrel, but when I put the remaining co2 on a blow back I can get another 30 shots until it goes machine gun.

[OysterBoy]

anyone...?

[DeerChaser]

500PSI? Input pressure is too low. Try 750-900

[OysterBoy]

alright after reading 'trains are bad's problem, i think it should work, i need to fill my tank again though. The only issue left is bolt stick, but there is some crud right in the breech of the barrel so thats probably it.

[OysterBoy]

UPDATE

Just got back from proshop, got tank filled, guy says he thinks its either the barrels breech (very rough) or the bolt spring.In the shop i was shooting it and it sort of did an RT thingy; Id pull once but it would fire twice. I went home baffled but eh, threw in my last 100 or so of big ball, shot; success, it worked. now I tried again, got the double shot. again, it shot multiple and chopped. it got to the point where it was going 'auto', and bolt stick happened once.


WTF IS GOING ON!?!?!?

[OysterBoy]

Ah damn Im so stupid...

Problem fixed, I just had to wrench-tighten the main body screw and the feild strip screw...

thanks to 11_Mile_TMaster for the help!!! :D
