    Flatline and bolt stick problems

    1) My flatline fills extremly slow. Is this a problem? If so what should I do?

    2) When I was playing the other day with my new RT pro the trigger went limp. This scared the crap out of me. I had no idea what happened to my baby. I calmed down, read the manual and pushed back the bolt and cleaned it all out. I also broke one of the wire nubbin. When I returned to the field and started to rapid fire the trigger would go slack and it would make the same sound as when you degass but only for an instant, like one shot and it would go back to normal. It also stuck fully one other time during play I fixed it on the field. What is the problem? Do I need to get a spacer kit?

    Ps. I only had one nubbin in the barrel when this was happening. Could this be the problem? (I had no extras and the pro shop was closed)


    Thanks to all for the help.

    Have you had the fill nipple on your Flatline taken off before? If so, it was probably tightened too far, thus not allowing the pin to open up far enough and let in enough air. Try unscrewing the fill nipple half a turn and see if that lets it fill faster. If not, drain the tank and then take off the fill nipple and make sure there isn't debris built up around the fill nipple pin.

    Get the plastic nubbins for your barrels. They'll never break and they'll work 10X better than the wire nubbins.

    You're getting bolt stick with your RT-Pro. Get a spacer kit for about $12 through AGD and use a spacer one size LONGER than the one in your powertube right now. That should fix the problem.
