What springs/spring have you been using, whats your input pressure? The venting out the back has nothing to do with your carrier...

lvl 10 good, bad?

ok....Right now I have a stock bolt, I know that the lvl 10 won't cause chopping, but will it increase accuracy, I don't know if I should get the venturi bolt of just spend about 40.00 more for the lvl 10...will you guys help me out please??

[GhillieGuy]

The level 10 will decrease recoil.

[automag44]

when you decrease reecoil what exactly does that do?

[Hemorrhage]

Tried all springs, tank at bottom in sig, you should know the input by that..

[GhillieGuy]

When it decreases recoil it means that it has less kick or force exerting your gun from moving upward. To me that really doesnt matter couse i never really noticed any recoil on a paintball gun. If we are talking about the 50bmg sniper rifle, than thats recoil!

You wouldn't think that you could have less jump than before could you? But you would be wrong, I never noticed my gun jumping but then I installed level 10 and now my gun has just started letting the balls stack in the hopper (I have a "mechanical", hand agitated hopper). It just also now feels a lot better when firing the gun.

Ok, I have an rt pro that came installed with a lvl 10. I bought a freak back for it. With the stock barrel the gun worked fine, with the freak the trigger would just wobble and the gun wouldnt fire. So i read some tips and i tried a bigger spacer, it worked. It would fire everytime i pulled the trigger, the only problem it leaked like a bastard!!!! lol. So i tried switching to other spacers....same thing...then i had a thought and switched back to the original spacer that came installed and added to shims. Now i am the proud owner of a non leaking, accurate, firing rt pro! little friggin things can screw up the gun or make it fire flawlessly, just keep trying you wont regret it.

Hemorrhage - X valves are new so they must be oil'd and broken in.

GhillieGuy - turn up your velocity till it fires.

automag44 - recoil is the kick you recieve when you fire the marker. A level 10 mag has 42% less kick over a level 7 and less kick then any other type of high end semi. (It only matters in high rates of fire, it'll lead to tighter patterns).

I'm having to run the 1.0 Carrier or I leak badly

Anyone else in the same boat ?

Doesn't matter Input Pressure, new oring in the carrier or what 1.5 and up leak.

No shims but using 1.0 I'm a little harder on paint than I'd like to be (well ok I can't get it to stop on a dollar)

Thanks

Havoc, ive tried turning up the velosity and it still dont fire.

I looked through the first 10 to 13 pages and couldn't find a simmilar problem, so im sorry if this has allready come up. Our team got 7 level 10s and I ended up putting them all in and got them all running sweet. The only problem that came up is with an E-Mag and a miny-mag. They both shoot fine but when any pressure is put on the barrel like resting it on the chrony, The bolt won't go forward and it jams on the barrel. We tried 14 different types of barrels and they do the same thing. All with brand new O-rings. We put the old bolt in and it doesn't do it. Playing sup air and pushing into the bunker stops it shooting so I'm open to suggestions as to what to do. Should I try sanding some of the bulge off the front of the bolt?
Anyone?
Thanks
Big Rob

[GhillieGuy]

BigRob, welcome to AO. I think that your problem is that the barrels are too loose. Go ahed and take the body frame off and tighten the screw on the berrel twist lock ***.

[BIG ROB]

Thanks for that, Ill give it a try.
