I have an R/T pro I bought a couple of years ago, after about half a day of gaming the gun started firing incorrectly, the bolt would not go all the way back and I would have to push it back in to be able to fire again. Then it would start sticking and venting air. I remember having to take the gun apart and work on the on/off valve, lube it, swap the bolt springs, and even play with the power tube spacer to get it to fire correctly. Sometimes I remember the gun just going to full auto as soon as I touched the trigger and not stopping, and sometimes it would go autofire and stop once I let go of the trigger. Either way it was really annoying as I constantly had to go get air tanks refilled and the closest place to do it cheeply is the gun store in the town next door, a good 15 min drive away.
Well, I have a game comming up now within the month and I would like to get back into paintball. I recently cleaned it, lubed it, and tested it and what it is doing now is going fully auto every time I hit the trigger, but stopping once I release. It's been a year or 2 since I last used my gun and I don't remember exactly what I did to fix it. I contacted AGD in Wheeling to see if I can have it calibrated by them so I know its professionaly done and will work, but they said it could be 3 weeks before they could send it back, which means I won't have the gun ready.
Any help on how to fix it so I am not just "shooting in the dark" swapping on/off rings and power tube spacers untill it works and running back and forth to refill the tank so I can have it working in time?
Thanks
