So I'm getting ready to play my first 5-man tourny @ Apocalypse in Wisconsin, and something wierd was going on with my gun. Before every game, I would pick up my ReTro Minimag after it sat for about 15 mins aired up, and I would pull the trigger and nothing would happen. It felt like it had just enough pressure to push the trigger back (intelliframe), but it would not fire. I pulled the trigger like 10-12 times without changing anything and suddenly it would fire (out of the blue). After that, it worked normally. It did that before every single game. Can anyone inform me why it would do this?????

You probally need to turn your velocity up a bit. If your using level 10 and you couldnt turn it up anymore or you would be over the limit, I would switch down a spring and try again. -
That happened to me just this last weekend - It usualy happens when you leave the gun gassed up for a long period of time. When the o-ring in the power tube seals with the bolt for such a long time the oil can be displaced and the o-ring will stick which will hold the bolt back. Just, remove valve, place a drop of oil in the powertube, then slide bolt up and down. If this doesn't help, use a looser carrier.Comment

Peach, I haven't tried that yet, but it sounds like your exactly right!!! I don't know why I didn't think of that myself. I usually am very generous about oiling my gun, but I wasn't the last time I used it, which is prolly why it did that the last time I used it and not anytime before.
