I'll start from the beginning.
A few weeks ago I took my Pneumag to the field and it shot fine despite having some loader troubles with my Q-Loader. There was the occasional chuff, but I later learned how to tune that. I needed to play with the carrier size on my LX. So I started to fiddle with it and after spending hours with it on Saturday, it ended up being worse than it was before. I started with the smallest carrier and worked my way up. I had 2 shims in it the whole time.
Out of frustration I just decided to try a different valve and LX all together; and it shot a lot better, but again with an occasional chuff. Other than the LX probably being tuned better, the only difference between the two valves was the on/off. On the first valve I used I had a ULT in it, the second valve is for my E-Mag so it had an E-Mag on/off. So I decided to offer a straight trade, my ULT for another E-Mag on/off. But would a stock RT on/off work better?
I've gone through two different valves and I've had similar problems with the chuffing. Where else could the problem be if not with the LX or on/off? When the pneumatics were first installed the gun fired just fine, and right now it has the same rail, sear, and pneumatics it originally had.
I may just bite the bullet on this one and see if any experienced pneumag techs would be willing to tune it for me. I'd rather do it on my own to learn how and to save myself some money, but desperate times call for desperate measures.
