my worst nightmare came true at IAO!
Alright I took my ULE mag to the IAO on thursday for some 3-man tourney action. I've put about 6 cases of paint through this mag since I put it together with absolutely no problems. I have 1.0 carrier/2 shims/med spring on the LX. Here is what happened:
I went to play my first game and I stepped up to the chrono. The field I play at every week is 300fps and under so I was right at 300. I turned it down to get it to average below 285. The ref made me turn it to about 270 (it wasnt very consistent btw...). Anyway right when the first game started I started running and shooting but the first 2 or 3 pulls nothing, then it started firing fine. Well in between games I talked to someone at the AGD booth and he suggested cutting my med spring, so I had him help me with it.
At the start of the next game I ran up to my bunker and started shooting. First 2 or 3 nothing, then it fired about 10 then completely stopped firing. Obviously, that cost my team the game. After that game I oiled the hell out of the gun but it was STILL doing the same thing. After sitting for about a minute or so, I would have to pull the trigger up to like 6 or 7 times before it would actually start to shoot. The bolt doesnt stick forward, so it's not bolt stick, it doenst even shoot as if I didnt have the regulator turned up enough, but only for the first few pulls.
Today I tried switching to a larger LX carrier but I couldnt get it to stop leaking. I tried for 2 hours switching carriers/o-rings/shims but the best configuration seems to be what I had originally. There even seems to be a TINY leak with the 1.0 carrier but I didnt even try to put the .5 in. I am REALLY stuck now I have no idea what to do next. The AGD guy at the IAO only suggested to go up a carrier when I addressed him on the subject. I NEED HELP!
