LX Prob....

[SlipknotX556]

I know this should be in the tech fourm but I really need an anser quick. I stuck a pencil in front of my lvl 10 today, fired, well the pencil snaped into 2. Also my emag has been having alot of chopping problems. I am shooting 280 fps, Inout pressure is at 750. What can I do to fix my LX?





Thanks

you need to post stuff like, what spring you are running; what carrier; how many shims; stuff like that

[magman007]

did you put the pencil towards the beggining of the bolt stroke? if you put it towards the end, all of the power is warmed up, and it will snap it. it all depends where you put the pencil

1 shim, stock spring, I cant really tell what carrier, because I lost the info on what kind of carrier I used. Im trying to find that out now.

use the cut spring(cut side on bolt) make sure your using the biggest carrier that doesnt leak. 1 shim is fine so long as the pressure vents when you pinch a ball.

I have the cut spring (best for stopping the bolt without risking bolt sticks) and 2 shims.

The larger the spring the easier the bolt is on the balls but the more chance of a bolt stick and also the higher the velocity / pressure you need for the bolt to work.

The reason the bolt snapped the pencil is because you did not use the lvl 10 springs that lower the forward force of the bolt.
