Mini mag feed issues

check the detent in the barrel adapter.

the bolt not resetting is most likely a different problem than the paint not feeding. have you double checked that the ball that sticks is round?

no need for a ULE yet. all my rt classics and E-mags are running power feeds and i don't have your problem and my hopper is either a valken v-max or a prophecy. What elbow are you using?

put your red spring back in and turn up the velocity until it shoots. It will be much kinder on paint.

That’s encouraging, as I really don’t want to change the body as I’m quite fond of the Minimag one I have. I’m using an ACI plastic elbow. What would you recommend?

Also hopper wise I have a DXS pulse loader that I have never used it’s new in the box as it came with a load of gear that was given to me. I could try that instead of the Rotors?

i use Pro Team Products elbows as do several other power feed users. they are about the shortest one i've seen, very tough and have the best looking angle on them in my opinion. you can get them strait from PTP's website and they sell them on ebay. i don't know much about rotors but if memory serves me correctly i believe Doug(Nobody) is right you need to turn them up a little.

Typically if you are getting bolt stick, you would also add another shim in the level 10. Should help the bolt reset better. The feed issue does seem like a Elbow/loader/PF/adapter issue. Take your barrel off and detents off the Docs adapter. let paint roll through. Then load up a hopper with paint and watch what happens. With no detents and a force loader, paint should just pour through.

If the level 10 is actually stopping on the ball and venting air, then the level 10 is working. You won't need to add anymore shims. If it won't reset properly, or if the reset is slow, then something is too tight. That could be the level 10 carrier or something else. Its usually the level 10 carrier. Usually it will fire and return with the short spring if it is close to being a proper fit, but may hang up on the return if the carrier is too tight and you have experienced an antichop action.

As mentioned above, make sure the balls do flow through the breach when you take out the detents. Another thing to check is the fit of the bolt in the breach. Try dropping the bolt into the breach from the back of the gun to see if it slides easily without any restrictions. Make sure there are no burrs on the inner washer separating the front half of the body from the back half. Sometime they can get mushroomed and cause some rubbing.
