    Trigger Rod Issue: Resolved!

    All right, I made a post a while back about how when I gassed up my gun the trigger rod wasn't pushing the trigger all the way out, thus making it so I couldn't fire the gun.

    Eventually, I figured out the bolt wasn't cocking all the way, but this mostly led to more confusion. I could push the bolt back and get it to lock, but it wouldn't even dry-fire once properly (usually just made a loud popping noise).

    Well, I was looking around AO, and I came across a picture of how to assemble the Lvl 10 (Which I currently use), and I discovered that my o-ring carrier was in backwards!!!!!!

    I didn't think much of it, after all, if it's flipped around that's only like 1cm difference in distance than it would be the other way around.

    Finally I stopped being stupid and lazy, I took my gun apart, switched the carrier around, and (suprise) it worked perfectly!

    So, if anyone ever encounters this sort of issue, just be sure your entire valve is assembled properly! I know, I know, it makes a lot of sense, but sometimes you can take things for granted.

    I guess I was the first person this has happened too, since I looked for a really long time to see if anyone else had the same problem. I just thought I'd make this post in case anyone else encounters a similar problem.

    Thanks for listening

      Tssst tssst tssst. Shims are used in the valve to move the carier by something like 0.05mm. 1cm is 200 times this distance .

              I forgot my bolt spring once. It would fire once than blow alot of air. Glad I didn't break anything... : )
              Thanks for the info.

                  The thing that should have tipped me off was when I fired the gun one time (actually got it to fire), but I heard a loud popping noise. I took my PT apart and the O-ring was gone!!!!! I was very confused.


                  I tried it again (without lloming for first o-ring) and the same thing happened.

                  I then tried it AGAIN with my last oring, and guess what (?), the o-ring vanished again.

                  If you already didn't know, the o-rings had gripped onto the top part of the tube that's inside the lvl10 bolt, getting stuck. I finally found them (I was doing this at night, kinda hard to see) and used a dental pick to push them out, breaking one in the process

                  That incident should have tipped me off right there, but I guess not. It wasn't until a week or two later that I actually fixed it.

                      Glad you figured out the problem and thanks for sharing it with everyone. Learning by yourself will always teach you more than someone telling you how to fix it.
