rtpro in novice division, tom somebody help!!
OK, this is my first post on AO. My name is justin and i'm from madison WI, I play at apocalypse paintball all the time, every sunday it's like going to church(when it is warm i mean, it's wisconsin man!).My team is madness Inc. We are one of the few novice teams to have a girl on our team(my girlfriend mo), and the only team to have a one arm player-me.
I NEED YOUR HELP!!!!!!!!! I just had my first tourney of the year(8 games, man i'm sore) after buying an old rtpro(power feed right) on ebay, and getting a lx bolt. The first thing that dissapointed me was the weight of the marker, so i took off the foregrip(what do i need that for,ha ha) and sight rail. That helped a little. I still need a compressed air tank, steel sucks! So the gun looks really cool now with a benchmark dt frame, shocktech drop, and dye boomy(got it for 370,was that a good deal?). I think it is pretty old, serial rtp00402, so some parts could be worn out. But thats no excuse for inconsistancy. My spyder compact 2000 sometimes hits a trifecta on the cronny(297,297,297).I hate showing up at a tourney with out a backup gun( since my girl uses my spyder elcd lp hpa)
PROBLEM SECTION
So here's what happened at the tourney.It sucked, I couldn't hit any thing all day. Here are my tech woes.
1.leak from velocity adj, fixed with shorter spring,but made bolt push harder.2 ball breaks.
2.leaked down barrel, would stop when I pushed the bolt backwards(is it supposed to do that?) , sometimes. THis should be a carrier size problem.but dosent do it till i start shooting
3. leaked when the field strip screw would not be perfectly tightened(to 1/8 of a turn)never fully stopped still leaks sometimes.
4. Cant put the barrel on with out pushing pin through pf
5. No reactivity to the trigger now that lx bolt is in, wasn't much before, none now. tank, 850psi pure energy 47ci steel
6.When the lx boltgot stuck on a ball it would kack(sound)then pop the ball about 2 feet out the barrel. Sometimes it kacks while test fireing.
7. On the crony i hit 267 289 256 267 370(don't know where that came from).
SOMEBODY help, should I junk this piece of crap, or replace some of these old worn out parts.I just put in a oring kit. I dont even know what parts on a mag wear out faster, or if they do. Thanks in advance for your thoughtfull response.
