So many problems, help plz

[Paintballhead]

Ok iv been in the sport for 5 years and have owned tons of cockers, now that i switched to a mag i feel like such a noob. I dont know ne thing about them and i keep asking these stupid questions.

Any ways heres my problem. My gun worked but had a leek down the barrel so i was told my lx wasnt set right. I took it apart and found that it didnt have the little backing washer in it. So i put it back together and i get massive bolt stick. I realize i need to order the washer but it still worked before, i followed the diagram to put it back together. Also the pin behind the trigger pressurizes but wont shoot. I pull the trigger and nothing happens. Iv tried using the stock valve, the ult, iv messed with the velocity, springs, every thing i can think off. This mags driving me crazy.

Please help me.

It won't work at all without the backing washer. If you don't have it, don't even bother trying to get it to fire. Wait until you get the new washer. If it worked before, then maybe you had the washer and lost it when you disassembled.

Massive bolt stick usually is a carrier issue. It usually means the carrier is too tight. Go to a more loose carrier. Use the largest one that doesn't leak. Use the shortest spring to get the setup running properly before you switch to a more sensitive setup.

i realized after i posted this i had the washer, i was just looking at the digram wrong.

i thought the only difference in carriers was the size of the middle hole. Some are fatter and taller then others?

Pretty much. Smaller sized ones put more pressure on the o-ring and thus the bolt. As athomas mentioned using a larger sized one will allow the bolt to move more freely, hence no bolt stick. To big and it will leak.

How am i supposed to tell the difference? I know they have different markings, but when i look at them i cant tell a visibal diffrence. Dose agd have a chart or something telling which 1's have which specs?

line = 1 and dots = .5 So no lines no dots is 0 and 2 lines and dots is 2.5.

huh? i dont get it.

i feel so dumb

[ChucktheMAGician]

Kinda hard to see but there are 2 lines on one side of the black o-ring and dots on the other. This is 2.5. 2 would just have lines and no dots. 1.5 would have 1 line and dots.
