Hey guys,
I just recently got a E-tac a few months ago and just really started to get around to playing with it.
I tested it in the back yard several weeks ago and everything seemed fine. Then the gun stopped shooting and I would get a leak out the bolt when I fired. I took the hopper off when this started happening and saw that there was a ball down there and it didn't appear to be jammed .... after pulling the trigger a few more times it finally shot.
I tried to get it to happen again but couldn't ... so I thought it was a "breaking" in issue.
While I was at Oklahoma D-Day though it reared it's ugly head in a bad way. After getting the gun chronoed at 275 fps I took it over to the shooting range and turned it on FA ... As I was ripping through the paint it stopped shooting again.
I took the hopper off and got the paint out of the marker and tried dry firing it. At first it hissed and then it started up again. Then it would have a small pop and then I could hear the trigger still going even though there was no air.
I was sharing a RV with Splathappy and he said that it is a common issue with the bolt. He said I should stick my finger in the breech and push the bolt back ... I did and it was fixed till it started up again shortly.
I'm sure someone out there has run into this issue before .... what's the solution??
If it's something I'm not comfortable doing I can always take it to the AGD HQ seeing how I live two blocks away but I would at least like to give it a try ....
