The gun in question is a hyperframed minimag with lvl 7 bolt with a minimag valve and NO ult. try your best to help me
well a couple of days ago i bought a used hyperframed minimag. i got it for a steal of a deal and was pretty impressed at first. i took it out today to try it for the first time and it worked for the first few shots and then the bolt stuck forward a bit and it started leaking like mad.
After a bit of research i found that this can be due to several reasons
1.that the powertube spacer is too short
-in my case the longest spacer was already installed. also it was missing the oring behing the powertube spacer and so i replaced it and am now thinking that would lengthen the whole assembly and maybe that i need a shorter one but it doesnt leak right now.
2. That the marker is not oiled
-i oiled it very good after i read that and still nothing
3.That the spring is too long
-the shortest spring is already installed
So after fumbling around with that and figuring out how all that worked i thought maybe my problem was solved... I was wrong
Now when i gas it up it gasses up beautifully and "cocks" and doesnt leak at all, but when i turn my hyperframe on and try to shoot the solenoid seems as if it cant push the sear enough. when i realized this i tried helping the sear by upping the power going to it and when that didnt work i tried even just pushing the sear with a allen key like a trigger rod would and the marker would not cycle
now the pin in my on/off assembly has started to mushroom and i read that that could be a cause off the marker not cycling after it has been aired up but im not sure where to get a diff one or if that would be a problem
Lastly i believe there should be a rectanguler seal or bushing that should go aroung the rectagnular outpiece on the body and go into the rectangular hole in the rail. Could the fact i dont have this seal have anything to do with it.
Well thanks for your help and for reading through this. I really want to get this mag going because for the few shots it took it shot beautifully. also my team views it as a joke. I bought it to be a project marker and now i feel obligated to show them that mags are still sweet. well thanks for you help and this will also be posted on pbnation for their help as well
