    classic air valve problem. help

    I'm having this odd problem with a classic mag running the standard air valve. The marker gasses up correctly and the trigger rod moves out to its fully extended ready position. After I fire the marker the rod does not fully extend again. It stops about 1 to 1.5 mm away from its fully extended position. If I so much as tap the trigger back against the rod the marker will cycle again. I'm putting almost no pressure on the trigger, just barely tap it against the rod. The second time the rod may or may not fully reset. I'm being very careful to completely remove my finger from the trigger after I fire the marker. This problem happens weather or not my finger is actually on the trigger for the return. This happens roughly 20-30% of the time the marker cycles.

    This is causing me to double or tripple fire the marker if my finger is sitting on the trigger. I can't tell if the second or third shot is at a lower velocity because I'm using one of those hanging barrel chornos that only records the first ball but the shots appear to fly the same distance.

    I've pulled the entire thing apart and replaced all of the on/off o rings and still the same thing. I made sure the entire marker was lubed nicely and I've checked the input pressure. I'm using stock AGD rail, body, and single trigger frame with a bran new sear and trigger rod.

    if you push lightly on the bolt, does that reset the trigger? if so you might just need a new main spring. does it extend about 1/4" past the end of the bolt when you put it on?

      The bottom side on the top ring of the main spring is completely level with the tip of the bolt. If I take a 10 rnd tube and press in on the bolt tip the trigger resets.


      Time to get a new main spring I take it.

        yup, if the end of the spring is level with the tip of the bolt, the spring is dead. doesn't have enough force to push the bolt all the way back anymore.

        most people find they have to replace the main spring once a year, depending on how much you play.
