You should NEVER TOUCH THE TRIGGER ROD! Period. It should never need adjusting, you'll just make things worse then they are.

Of course if this isn't a mag (not sure why it wouldnt be but hey stranger things have happend) then go ahead and adjust all ya want

But if it's a mag of any kind, don't losen/tighten the trigger rod..

Don't ask me why, I just know it's a major no-no with mags. And pretty much every post I've seen about it tells you not to change it.

[rikkter]

if it was a major no no in mags it wouldn't even be adjustable to begin with. your SUPPOSE to adjust it to the correct length. 1/16th of a gap between the most forward position of the trigger and the trigger rod.
duhhh :P

warp. i got the cocker working reallllll goood in the garage last night, i was like YEEE but ran out of air lol.

lol glad to hear you like it! I was always told never to adjust the cocking rod by screwing it in/out as you can cause abnormal wear on the sear? I dunno I've seen both sides of the arguement, some where people say it's a no-no, others where people say they've adjusted it without problems.

I've never had to touch mine on the 4 mags I've owned (2 68s, RTpro and Emag) and have not had a problem with em.

I run into this problem all the time.

Did this happen after you have taken your valve/bolt and all assembly out and put it back in.

Sometimes when I slide my valve assembly back in the spring catches on the trigger sear and it will fire once, but that is it. It then does what you are talking about. I then take it out and carefully put it back in making sure it doesn't happen.

[corcoran_chris]

that didnt help

Leave the trigger rod alone. It should stay at 1.985OAL, or at least 1/16" gap behind the trigger when gassed up.

Check your on/off pin, make sure it isn't in upside down. The grooved end should be inside.

The rod is NOT meant to be adjusted by the user. The only reason the rod is threaded, is to be able to use a clevis. The rod is then Loc-Tited to prevent movement.

[corcoran_chris]

so if im holding hte gun like i want to shoot it, does the pointed end go towards the ground, or the sky?

[rikkter]

up. when the mag is in its upright poistion(holding the gun while playing or shooting) the little cut in the piston should be DOWN(or in like army said)

Army. like i said. and like you said. but if you get a new frame and the rod isn't where its suppose to be, then you adjust it accordingly.

Ok, when I first got my mag, I had this problem. I couldn't figure it out for a while, but then I did. What I did was keep turning up the velocity (by screwing in further the reg nut) bit by bit until it started shooting. Keep turning it in until you hear gas leaking out the back of the gun, if that happens then turn it back some so it stops. It should shoot before you hear gas coming out, and when it gets really hard to turn the nut in further STOP turning it, so you don't damage the valve. I think at that point you need more co2/air because there is not enough pressure in your tank to over power the bolt spring, i.e. fire gun.

i hate to make my self feel like an idiot admitting i've done this, but did you forget to put the feild strip screw back in???? a couple times i've just put the valve back in and not put the screw back in, and it won't fire, and i never can figure out why....untill i see the screw laying on my desk or what ever.

in terms of the trigger rod, guys, watch the video, tom says to not mess w/ the tirgger rod, 'cause it messes w/ the timing of it, and he says that it is a no no to mess w/ the trigger rod, in terms of if it wasn't ment to be adjusted, why is it adjustable...i think we can agree that no 1 guns are exactly alike, so it's more than likely to compensate for descrepencies(sp?) between guns so you (more they, AGD) can fine tune them to get perfect timeing
