I just got my Mag on the 24th in the mail, ULE custom w/ ULT, nothing fancy, but it's been plagued with issues since it arrived on my door. I've done searches on these boards for answers but nothing seems to repaired the issues.
So I have a couple problems:
1) The Mag is on Full Auto/Run Away with practically zero reactivity, I understand that the ULT will remove much of the reactivity but the FA is somewhat bothersome.
2) The bolt will hang and fail to recock in the middle of a string (this was prior to the full auto issue) and I'd have to manually push the bold back with my finger before it would fire again. Currently in it's FA mode it will get stuck partially forward and vent down the barrel until the air system is turned off and the bolt is allowed to reset itself.
Things I've done:
So far I've oiled the Mag as per AGD's instructions as well as putting a little oil on the bolt/return spring. I put more shims into the level 10 with questionable results and removed the 0.5 carrier that was installed and replaced it with the 1.5 and changed the level 7 spring to the silver spring. Everything is factory new, and it's been one sort of disapointment after another. After the Mag started going full auto I put everything back to the way it was when it was pulled out of the box, no luck, FA seems to be here to stay for the time being.
I admittedly know very little about how a Mag actually works, but I do understand the basic principles of their function. The bolt sticking forward and venting would imply to me that the sear pin is too short and not closing the on/off valve entirely which would seem to indicate that a shim or two would need to be installed to correct this problem. It also seems that the bolt sticking forawrd issue should be easily fixed by adding more shims to the power tube, (currently it's back at the stock 2).
Input pressure from my Flatline is 800psi but I've tried it everywhere from 600psi to 1000psi with the same results. It's done this since I first gassed it up out of the box and I'm tempted to ship it back to WWA for a replacement. Anyway, thanks for the replies.
