I hate my xvalve

[The Deacon]

My input is at 850 (preset Crossfire). I'll dink with the ULT some more here soon.

I'll try the carrier trick too. I'm using the smallest spring, but I'll see if I can step up to the medium. That might kill the bolt stick for me.

Personally, I think it was when I did the "sign of the cross" over the vavle that it worked. I think I'll take it to church and get it blessed for the maximum in ULT and LX tuning!

Thanks again!

ah so um
did pbcapo fix his or what?!....

Deacon, the best way to kill bolt stick is too increase the carrier size. The stiffer spring just increases the operating velocity range.

I suspect that part of PBCapo's problem is also carrier related. Increase a carrier size to free up the bolt and turn up the velocity.

Ok, finally was able to get a refill to finalize things.

No more bolt stick, went up a carrier, no leak, and no bolt stick. PROBLEM SOLVED! Thanks!

Now, with the ULT, do you want as many shims in without bounce or as few shims and no shooting? Which yields the lightest pull? I'm using 1 shim and the trigger feels only marginally lighter than it used to be.

Capo reported to me that after lubing everything he is now fixed and running.

More shims = lighter trigger.

Less shims = More reactivity but heavier pull.

Its like shortening your on off pin each time you add a shim. But at some point it may go Full Auto and not catch on the sear reliably. So too many is a problem at some point. I been running four or five ULT shims in my RTP and thats about medium. Last time I messed with it I left it at 4 ULT shims. Not too light and not too heavy and very dependable lock up.

Remember that 2 ULT shims = 1 Level 10 shim.
