    Sounds exactly like bolt stick.

    If you push the bolt back with a squeegie, does it reset with a click and then you can fire again?

    If so you need a longer spacer, a larger carrier or you need to tighten/loosen your field strip screw.

      Yes, but my tech was using his finger. Ok where do I get the first 2? I really need to get this right, I'm suppose to be playing tomorrow.

        The chances of your local pro shop having any are slim.

        You need spacers if you have a level 7 bolt.
        You need carriers if you have a level 10 bolt.

        Pick up some spare o-rings while you are at it.

        Edit: If you are running a level 10 and this only happens after you encounter a jam, you should add shims, 1 at a time, until it no longer hangs after a jam.

            You're welcome.

            If you put your location in your profile, a fellow magger with spare parts might be local to you.

              A friend of mine was having a similar problem. It would shoot good for a couple of shots, then, it would seem like bolt stick.
              What it turned out to be was, his hpa tank.
              He tried it with different tanks,and, no problem. It seems that one tank screwed in a little too far, and was actually cutting off the air.

                If the bolt don't click,
                it ain't bolt stick.


                hehe. That is why you do the squeegie test to make sure it is actually bolt stick and not starvation.

                    So despite the bolt stick problem I was having, the mag shot beautifully today.
