Need Tech Help with Automag please!!!

[Syl]

Ok guys.. Before I loose patience with this marker I need you guys help..Here is what the problem is..

I have a:
AGD 68 Classic Automag,
Classic Valve,
ANS Phase II Bolt,
DYE Double Trigger Frame
PT Spacer Kit

There problem is that when I pull the trigger and hold it for a fraction of a second to long it seems that the sear does not catch the bolt air leeks down the barrel..if I let go of the trigger it stops.. I tried adjusting the spacers by changing sizes still no luck.. I tried adjusting the Sear adjusting rod.. And still have the same problem.. It seems that if I exagerate when I pull the trigger and do it extremely light then it fires perfect.. But if I pull back a little to far back on the trigger then it will only leak air down the barrel..

I hope I explained this good enough.. Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Thanks in advance

Hmm.. interesting problem. Here's what I would do:

#1 - Replace ANS Bolt with AGD OEM Bolt. I would suggest the new Level 10, if you can afford it. Otherwise, the standard AGD Longnose bolt.

#2 - When/if you order a new bolt, pick up a new sear assembly with it. Adjusting the trigger rod on a mag is a cardinal sin! I doubt you have to tools to re-adjust it to the proper EXACT length.

#3 - Put the stock PT Spacer in (if you have it). I don't recall what size it is, but I'm sure someone can tell you. When I bought my used mag, I had the stock spacer, and the PT Spacer kit. Put the stock one in if you have it (and know what size is stock).

#4 - Check over all of the seals in the valve. I would suggest checking the On/Off o-rings first. When you hold down the trigger, this holds the on/off closed, thus dividing the valve in half (for troubleshooting purposes). If you hold it on and it still leaks (continually) I'd check those o-rings first.

Give these a shot and let me know what you come up with.
Hope this helps!

Im thinking on the same line as Dave, when it comes to the trigger rod, I had the same problem with a friends gun a local shop did a trigger job( )on it and messed up the rod length, we put a stock rod in and solved the problem.
