I've had about 3 cases, under heavy use, through my mini and lvl 10. Up until my last time out it all worked perfectly.
Then it started "sticking". I'd have to pull the trigger 5 or so times before it would fire each time after stopping a volley of fire. Later in the day it started double feeding and would only fire every other trigger pull. The first trigger pull sounded like a ball was feeding but the lvl 10 wasn't allowing it to complete the bolt travel. So, a ball would be pushed up just far enough for another to feed in behind it. Then on the second pull both balls would be fired out, often breaking one or both. Weird, needless to say it was kind of infuriating after so much success earlier in the day.
I figured it was either a tight carrier or something with the on/off assy. making it stick. So, I broke it down and did a complete cleaning/overhaul/replacement of every seal in a parts kit.
After all this, it seems as though the lvl 10 is "hitting" too hard in the low pressure phase. I chopped a couple balls testing it and it feels a lot stiffer against my finger than before.
I've got the longest spring, the largest carrier that didn't leak, and 2 shims in the lvl 10. The velocity was set to about 275 at the field, I haven't unscrewed the tourney lock so its still set for that speed. I've got a preset reg on my crossfire HPA tank, 850 psi I think.
I had the medium spring (other stuff the same as mentioned above) in it before when it was working perfectly.
The lvl 10 was a god send but now is only half as effective. Help?
