    All you want is enough shims so the bolt will reset if it pinches a ball.If you add too many, then it will just leak down the barrel. To test, put your finger in front of the bolt (or a stick or something if you don't trust it with your finger). If the bolt doesnt reset with your finger right up against it, then add another shim.
    Sadly the mag is gone, moved on to an LCD Trix

      I run all of my guns with no shims and have no issues. I've seen people get their guns working with 3-4 shims and then they develop a leak. After removing the shims, it goes away. I wouldn't bother with them unless your gun actually NEEDS them.
