    X-valve too slow?

    OK, my brand new tac one works fine, Except when im firing rapidly. I'm using a qloader so there no way that its the level 10 engaging. but anythime I try to fire at my fastest speed it'll choke like every 5 balls. its not too noticable as I just need to wait 1/2 second and then its ready to go but I just bought my ULT upgrade and i'm waiting for it in the mail. I'm afraid I won't be able to take advantage of the ULT if this continues. Any suggestions?

    Bolt stick maybe? Does the trigger rod not return during this 1/2 second? If it is bolt stick, the trigger usually doesn't return then you can hear it click back when it does. If this sounds like what you are experiencing, make sure you are using the largest lvl 10 carrier that doesn't leak. Make sure the lvl 10 oring is lubed well, especially when breaking in.

    Also, what kind of tank are you using. Make sure it has a high enough output pressure.

      The level 10 could be engaging if the qloader is pushing a ball past the detentes and the next one is half feeding.

      Sounds like you need to add oil to the ASA and/or break in the carrier o-ring if you haven't already.

      You might also need to use the proper bolt spring if you haven't tuned it to your desired velocity.

        i'm running a 68/4500 micro max, the air seems to be there. i'm hoping that it needs to be broken in first. i've only gone through about 1/4 case so far.

          Try less prewinds on your Qpods
          I run mine around 10-11 prewinds and it feeds as fast as I need, but doesnt push past my detent

              it took me shooting a few cases of paint before my Xvalve really broke in. Before it broke in it was doing the same thing you mentioned. Also after it breaks in you will notice more reactivity, but if you are going with the ULT then I guess no need to think about that too much. Enjoy you tac one.
