bolt stick with new superbolt...

[CFD323]

I just got a new superbolt and put it in my gun. It shoots with almost zero recoil and really makes it like a different gun. It's awesome !! The only thing is now I'm getting bolt stick everytime I gas up my gun. The old bolt would stick sometimes but not like the superbolt does -- every time I gas it ! I have an Emag with preset Centerflag 420 and a KAPP on/off. I know one of the techs told me before that the Emag internals need a quick hit of gas when you gas up the gun and by using the screw-in on/off's it doesn't give the gun a quick full blast when the gun is gassed up. He said that could cause some bolt stick. But what is different now with the superbolt that would cause the bolt to stick everytime ? I did notice that once I completely screw in the KAPP on/off and pull the trigger a couple times, the bolt is ok and I'm ready to go, but it's a waste of gas to do this everytime.

Can you try a shorter power tube spacer?

Its either the burst of air your mag is getting isnt fast enough, Warped Sports has a nice lever on/off which wont affect flow, see if that fixes the problem, or a less expensive alternative is a shorter power tube spacer, as stated earlier.

Thanks, I brainfarted, should've known to check that !!!

I'm so used to the superior quality of AGD products and never having to deal with stuff that doesn't work that I totally brainfarted and forgot to change the power tube spacer. I went down to a .215 and it's working ok now.
Thanks for the quick replies. Thanks Duffman for giving me the reply at the store.

i was having that problem too. At first it wouldnt shoot at all with the barrel on. Now it shoots, sticks some. Unsticks when i de-gas or whatever.
