    Won't Fire

    I installed exactly as the instructions directed. When I air it up with my preset 47/3000, The marker acts fine until I pull the trigger. There is pressure against the trigger but when I pull it, it wont fire. When I release the trigger, the pressure will put the trigger in the ready position.

    It feels as if its powered up ready to go but the sear is not disengaging when I pull the trigger..

    Could it be the spring???

    I am using a double trigger Benchy if that matters.

    Going to assume you installed the Level 10.

    Check your velocity, LX needs a bit more than stock.

    What is your exact set-up?
    How many shims?
    What carrier?
    What spring?

          wingnut, throw some more shims in there.

          Adding shims will change the vent point on the LVL10. Give it a shot.

            Don't mess with the shims. Better yet, remove all of them and get it working first.

            Make sure that your air system puts out 650+ psi. You can screw a big gauge into a vertical ASA and then screw the air system into the ASA to check it real quick.

            Make sure that you're using the largest carrier that doesn't leak.

            Only use shims if the bolt locks up on the ball and doesn't retract.
