stuck at 250-260 FPS

[spectra260]

Well went paintball after long time again, oiled the gun before playing. The gun worked fine last time but this time I could not get the fps to go above 260 and would like it to goto 280-290.

Just messed with it here at home now and now every few shots the bolt will stick and the trigger is unresponsive untill I recock it by pushing back the bolt.

Whats wrong? Im useing a flatline set around 850-900 psi output and its over 2000psi so theres enough air in the tank.

just took the valve out and was checking the bolt and spring out, I noticed the spring would hold onto the bolt I turned the spring around and put it over the bolt and the bolt slides out on its own now. Put it back together the bolt is no longer sticking, it wasint actually doing this when I played today but was right before I took it apart just now.

Could that have had anything to do with the FPS, I dont think so but I dont have a chrono to check what it is now Need to buy one of those handheld ones for home.

are you sure the spring is fully seated?

Who tuned your lvl X this sounds like a lvl X issue

Give the valve a good cleaning.

When is the last time you changed your bolt spring. They are consumable items and do get weak.
