    Bolt Stick

    I have a problem with my mag. I have severe bolt stick and sometimes my gun just wont cock period. I have cleaned my bolt spring and power tube spring and it still did it. I borrowed my friends valve and spacer and it stoped for a little while, then started again.... Any ideas?

      Get a Power Tube Spacer Kit and experiment till you tackle your problem.

        Put in a longer spacer...... if it leaks down the barrel after that, then put in a shorter one.

          Well thanks anyways, but i figured it out. It was just that i had a lot of dirt in my tank (Stupid Canadian Tire).
          I cleaned it all out again and tried a different tank, and it's workin great now.

            hey

            are you using co2 if so that freezes the valve causing the bolt to stick too.

              Do spacer kits do anything else besides stop bolt stick?

                  ok

                  well if you are running co2 it will still cause the bolt to stick if the valve can't get air. that is probally your problem more so than the spacer but the spacer wouldn't hurt to try it will probally help a little bit.
