Is my Classic R/Ting?

You hit the sweet spot and caused the RT effect---you pull the trigger enough to fire---the RT(Reactive Trigger) pushes ur finger back and in turn holding it fires the gun again.....

It's more likely that the sear is on the edge. Keep an eye on the tip of the sear and the edge of your bolt. They should start to wear quickly. The short pin does affect how the sear catches the bolt.

What kind of pressure and regulator are you feeding it with?

To Ravenneon: Can a classic have an RT effect though? I thought that the RT valves are made completely different and that the RT on/off in a classic will only make the trigger lighter, not necessarily give you the same RT effect.

To Spider: It is a brand new Lvl X bolt, so I will keep an eye on the wear. My HP tank is empty, so I was actually using CO2. I have a 3k micro-max flo @ around 850 output, so I will try it with that as well when I get my tank filled.

By grinding the pin short, you have probably induced a full auto effect where the sear is barely catching the bolt and easily slips off at the slightest trigger pull. As mentioned, watch for sear wear.

You can get mild reactivity with a retro on-off in a classic, but not to the same extent as the retro valve because the air flow paths are completely different.

So then my next question would be: If the pin is too short, by just a hair (or two), can I put something on the end of the sear (where it hits the pin), like tape or something, to make up for that lost material, or am I just better off with a new pin? Thanks.

You can't easily put anything on the sear that will be hard enough to withstand the wear and tear.

Once the pin is too short there is nothing you can do. You can always make it shorter, but you can't make it longer. Get a quad oring and use it in place of the small top oring. The lower sealing edge of the quad oring is a bit lower than the center sealing edge of a normal oring. It will give you the same effect as a slightly longer pin. Plus the quad oring will reduce your on-off friction, thus reducing your trigger pull force.
