    Slight lvl 10 problem

    I used my RT Pro with the new lvl 10 bolt installed yesterday,I thought I had everything tweeked out like chrono,carrier,and bolt spring.I modified my longest bolt spring to work because the shortest one was all I could use so I cut it a little longer then the shortest and shorter then the middle, seemed to be cool.After it would sit a while not being shot my bolt would stick and I would have to push it back with my squeegie to reset it.My question is is the bolt spring still a little to long and would that be the cause.All in all it was good till I slid in a bunker and busted my knee having to go get stitches hehe the lady at the ER ask me what happend and I said I was playing paintball she replied PING PONG hehe I guess it was odd to her for a 30 year old to be out running around hehe.

    I'd attribute it to having too long a spring (once I started using the middle/small spring my bolt stick went away).

    Also if you use one of the smaller springs (but at the minimum velocities/imput pressures) it will get stuck after it sits for a bit and you'll have to reset. (just fyi)

      If the gun seems to funtion normally when you are constantly firing then you probably have the proper spring. Sticking after sitting for a period of time usually indicates a carrier that is too small. Try a carrier that is one size larger.
      Except for the Automag in front, its usually the man behind the equipment that counts.

        go to the link in my signature


        make sure your carrier is the right size

        make sure that your PT o-rings are well oiled

        add more shims if bolt stick continues


        ^ all of this is explained in the LX instructions in my sig.
