Need Help My Minimag Is Shooting Drop Curve Balls!!!

[blackdeath1k]

I'd hate to know what they would cost. More exotic materials for tension without being any larger. And the fact of how few people would need / want them. That's why I want to test out converting to dual spyde or eago detents. They are plentiful. Cheap. And we know they work. Only reason I've not started testing on these is the fact I will have to order them. I'm trying to hold off till I need to order more stuff to cover shipping.

what if we milled the barrels to take another nubbin 180 out like the crown point? i have a couple i'd donate to the trial.

sounds like someone needs to make color coded nubins of different depths for twistlocks.

Just make one nubbin with a longer nib on the back so it will push deeper into all barrels. If it is too deep for the odd barrel, you can always sand some off.

That's exactly what I've done all this year. And yes. It has worked well for the most part.

I will still gamble with the finger detent setup. I really believe it will be more reliable in the long run. And no real modification after the initial milling. Just buy fingers.

Thanx everyone for the input!!!

I will try working the nubbin in my barrels and see of that works?

From what I can tell the problem is inside the gun somewhere. This is not a paint, remote line,
co2, compressed air, dirty gun or dirty barrel problem. The problem is either a nubbin problem
or something internal. I will look into and see what I come up with and get back to you guys
after the new year sometime.

Thanx, Thanx, and Thanx for the input!!

Later,

The valve problems causes fast, slow, or inconsistent velocities. If the balls are hooking up, down, or sideways, then the problem is always external to the valve itself.

Have you actually shot some of that paint in a different gun to prove it is not the paint? I read where barrels were changed. But not where it was tested in another gun to prove it is the mag.

But yes. Athomas is correct. Your issue is outside the valve. If you don't have a foamie on you bolt. Put one on. And modify the detent. Then get back to us.
