    RT valve wont reset

    So i have a ReTro Valve on my pneumag and it'll shoot it as quick as quick but sometimes without reason despite how fast or slow i'm shooting it the valve wont reset after a random amount of shots. I'll have to de-gas the gun and gas it back up for the valve to reset or wait a while and the gun will hiss and eventually reset.
    Specs on pneumag:
    AM rail
    PF body
    SP freeflow trigger frame (same one on new shocker)
    ReTro Valve lvl 10 non ULT
    MVS-2 MPA-3 set up

    88/45 tank w/ninga reg set @ ~850psi

    NOTE: I can also put the valve in a classic ULE mag set up and it does the same thing so i doubt the pneumag set up has anything to do with it

    So any help AO would be amazing,
    thanks,
    -Rob

    I cant remember what fixed it it was a while ago, but I had a similar problem. With yours, have to tried hitting the back of the valve with your palm? mine would reset if I did that and then could shoot another X amount of rounds till it did it again.

    I just ask this cuz it might be a symptom that helps other people answer.

      could be bolt stick.

      I've also experienced something very similar to this due to a bad bolt spring. swapped out the spring, good as new

        It does sound like bolt stick. Have you tried using the next larger carrier size with the same white powertube/carrier oring. Don;t forget to remove all shims when doing this. Shims can cause leaking which makes you use a carrier that is too small.
        Except for the Automag in front, its usually the man behind the equipment that counts.

          Hey thanks all, Hitting the back of the valve didn't really work, I tried the red and silver spring but the lvl 10 would activate and it wouldn't shoot, so I did have the wrong carrier in it which wouldn't allow the lvl 7 spring to push it back all the way at times, but changing the carrier it works just fine now and rips better than ever. Thanks for the tips all.
