    New RT ULE: Problems

    I just bought a new RT ULE Custom from AGD and got it in the mail yesterday. I have a Crossfire 68/4500 HPA Low tank. I have a few problems.

    1. When I first connected air to the gun I fired it and the bolt stuck and leaked air continuously out the front.
    2. I pushed the bolt back in manually and the gun fired automatically right after the bolt was reset.
    3. The gun seems to be firing twice for every shot I take.
    4. After a few times of connecting and disconnecting the air and making a few adjustments (changing the spring and removing a shim from the powertube) the gun does not fire at all anymore and air seems to be leaking out of the bottle receptor. (as if maybe the tank isnt screwed in all the way or there was some thread stripping although there are no visible signs that the threads have been stripped. Also the tank will not screw in any further)
    5. The only spring that worked was the shortest one... is this common for RTs using Level 10? With this spring I had bolt sticking and the gun was firing twice for every one trigger pull.

    When I connect the air the firing pin clicks forward and looks as though it is in proper firing position however when I pull the trigger nothing happens. I have tried adjusting the velocity with various different springs and nothing seems to work. The gun simply is not firing anymore. I am concerned about the air leak and the problems with the firing pin and the gun not firing at all. Am I using the wrong type of air tank (I am using a Crossfire 68/4500 Low, should I be using a High?) Is it a problem with the Level 10? I am very lost...PLEASE HELP! The only other change I made to the gun was to add a drop forward but I am doubtful that this would cause any of these problems. Thanks in advance for any help!

          thats probably your problem... mags run 700psi lowest..

          Higher the pressure better it works.. kinda.. 450 is too low..

            Put it back like it was from the factory and get a higher tank.

              GREAAAT! Haha...why didn't I know that earlier! Hindsight is 20/20 I guess. I've only filled this tank once. Do you think that crossfire will take a return on this tank or make a trade for a High pressure tank?

                When I got my Tac One a few months ago I couldn't get it to stop leaking at the ASA. Finally had to put a tank o-ring in the ASA before I put the tank on. Have since switched to an adjustable regulator with a different setup.
