bolt stick

You've got yourself some high quality bolt stick going on there... put a longer powertube spacer in and see if it does the trick for you.

ULE???

would getting a new ULE body fix the problem instead of sending it in???

[billybob_81067]

Nope

No, the body doesn't have anything to do with how it fires, just take your field strip screw out of the back of the valve and pull the valve out of the gun. Then take off your bolt and bolt spring off the front of the valve. Then take a penny and unscrew the brass tip off of the front of the valve. then you should be able to get this little spacer out of there that has a number written on the side or is a certain color. If you don't already have one buy a powertube spacer kit and install a longer spacer.

That should do the trick.

and make sure that the o-ring inside the power tube is behind the spacer(towards the back of the valve), not in front of it . This will cause the same problem.

Replace the worn bolt sring.
