    E-mag bolt stick

    I have an EMag with a X valve tuned last year by Tuna. Used it twice earlier this year without any bolt stick, but this past weekend started getting it fairly bad. Is it normal to develop bolt stick after things settle in? Never had this issues on any of my other mags.

      Could be the bolt spring or detent screwed in too far.

        Checked the bolt spring against a brand new one I have sitting in my tool kit and the older one is actually a hair or two longer than the new one, so don't think that's the issue. Don't think it's the detents. Using the thicker o-rings. Took the bolt out and wiped it down. Was leaking a little upon air up, but went away after a couple of shots and now I can't get it to replicate the issue.

          Another possibility... Thumbscrew was too loose or too tight.

            I had the exact same thing happen to me this summer w/ my X-mag. have you tried going to a larger carrier (use same oring)
            it did the trick for me, only had to go up .5 in carrier size

              I tried that at the field. I went to the chrono station and tried it in and out, with no difference. Also, it only started to do it after some time of play. Typically for me if it's the field strip screw, it does it right away.
