    LVL 10 prob, retro valve quite odd!

    Hi, have a problem here that I couldn't find in other threads, any help would be appreciated. Buddy brought over his mag w/ lvl10 for me to toss into a retro valve. it fires fine, doesnt leak, pinches etc... with either the middle spring and a higher velocity or normal and the regular sized spring... but when i start firing faster, and by that im thinking 4-5bps it will skip shots and reset the bolt, pop pop pop pop hiss pop pop hiss pop etc...

    now this is a stock trigger frame so it never shot that quickly but with a regular bolt setup the retro is noticably reactive and kicks back against your finger , with lvl 10 in it doesn't do that it seems... I've got the
    1.5
    2-3 shims, doesnt seem to matter that much
    dunno input pressure but 7-850, ive adjusted a lot with no effect on this, it will always reset itself at a higher bps.
    now... heres a thought, does the lvl10 require a different trigger rod length at all? maybe needs a little extra to seal that on/off?? cause its normally the full pull on this frame. The reason that pops to mind is that this doesn't change wether I have a larger carrier, diff amount of shims, diff bolt spring/pressure, etc... its like im short stroking it constantly or something, but the lack of trigger kick back on the retro makes me suspicious.

      The level 10 bolt will reduce the amount of reactivity on any retro valve. I don't know why, it just softens the return.

        ok, a LOT better now, trigger reactiveness is back *knocks on several types of wood*

        frame still licks, but he's getting a intelli so yay!
