Could you have been short stroking the trigger and/or did you have a bad paint/barrel match?

[mark_426]

I was using a friends paint, so I didnt check it, I just put it in the gun and went. What is shortstroking? Also,what is the best nubbin to use, plastic or wire? thanks for the reply Chuck

ps still trying springs shims and spacers

Shortstroking is not pulling the trigger far enough to complete a shot. Short enough to move the bolt but not long enough to fire the ball that was already in there. If you did that and then pulled off a full shot the balls could be breaking each other in the barrel. Bad paint/barrel match could do the same but the more I think about it Level x should help that some. Old paint could be a problem to if it had alot of inconsistancies in size. I prefer plastic nubbins, the wire ones look to old school for me! You mentioned that you were still working on it. Is it not firing at all?

I use wire nubbins, but I have some plastic ones that I'll try too. I'm sure I'm not short stroking, but it could be the paint. Would that have anything to do with double feeding? The mag is working, but I thought the bolt was hitting hard. Ill try to keep this posted. Thanks
