    Minimag problem

    For some reason, when I put air into my gun, the trigger gets pressure but when I try to shot, nothing happens. The bolt is not shooting up. I am using the retro valve with level 10 bolt.

    Try turning the velocity up.

    How new is the Level 10 setup? You may have the carrier too tight and it's gripping the bolt too hard.

        I am using the shortest spring for the level 10 and it still does it. How would my bolt be sticking and how can i fix that? It feels like that is my problem since the rest of the gun seems to be working just fine.

          Alright, I think that my problem is the bolt but I am not sure. I have tested all or the carriers and still the bolt would not go forward. I have not see the x-valve(sry I said it was the retro valve, this one is lighter right?) shoot since i'd gotten it. Like I said, there is plenty of pressure going to the trigger and I have taken the valve apart to see if there was something blocking it. Everything looked fine. I have tried adjusting the velocity and it doesn't seem to matter. I am going crazy. I have not had much experiance with mags. I know I am a nub and that I am probably doing something wrong. I have a headache now... So I am going to sleep

          PLEASE HELP...

              Were you using the SAME oring when you tried all the carriers?

              And we said before, try adjusting with the shims OR going to a 1/2 size bigger carrier.
