Eh....Level ten

[Daroy99]

I don't think this has been posted before. Just got my mag back from Tunaman for the level ten installation, ready to play. IT worked fine for a little while, then it wouldnt feed right. I made sure my barrel was twisted. I went up behind 8 people and had a line on them and shot but nothing came out and i got shot...well....it looked like someone got spraypaint can and sprayed it all over me. Second time, off the break on a 100yd course i ran over a hill to there side *60yds*, i was in a perfect spot. This guy with a electro spider lights me up becuase it realizes i cant shoot...from 2 feet away. Sometime it feeds, sometimes it doesnt. BTW: not one chop all day.....only ONE barrel break(the only time my big ball paint broke on, something). I know its not broken in and all, but its keeping the balls from feeding. Tuna put the med. spring in. Also, at the end of the day it seemed that my fomaie had...dissapered, literally. It was all over my spring, but no black foamie left on the bolt. I knew it wasn't just grease on the spring becuase it didnt wipe off..it had to be scraped off.
Two probs:Foamie, and not feeding. Help?

What kind of Mag?

What kind of detents are you using the barrel?

How is the paint to barrel fit?

Did you try a different kind of paint?

You should have an extra foamie in your kit, use some really good super glue. I use IC-2000 super glue that you can find at hobby shops. Be sure to scrape off the old glue and foamie material from the bolt before putting on the new foamie. Clean the surface with alcohol, too.

It was RPS big ball, and 200 or so team colors playoff series(few months old, shell strong though). Ill epoxy the foamie in...i was wondering where it went. The team colors was larger then the big ball and it fed better. I did notice the inconsistcy in the size of the bb paintballs, but when i had my old bolt they fed fine. The bolt is sticking out into the barrel just enough to stop fast feeding. The paint matched the all american fine, shot great. I have a metal detent(twist lock). Could that be causing the slow feeding? Its a minimag body, 68 valve, intelliframe, and level ten. I havent shot it in a month so there were plenty of short strokes, but i only heard the level ten go psss 5 or 6 times(it worked great, to add that)

Thanks for the info BlackVCG

Maybe you need to adjust your powerfeed plug a little.

[Daroy99]

Tuna, was that plug decent? Parabolic is it?

[Daroy99]

Shoulda had you put a new on off in, when it was there..oh well.

hmmm, try putting in a standard level 7 spring, or do a finger in the breech test w/ the med spring...if it is really really light on your finger, there is your problem.

my mag wouldn't fire on several occasions due to the tension of the spring being enough to hold it back on some shots.
