    Aargghh!!! I really need someone to help me out.

    I recently got my Mag back from Redrider(who did an awsome job). I was shooting off my porch today after getting my tank filled. Well here's my problem. When I pull the trigger it usually fires just fine. But sometimes the trigger rod doesn't push the trigger back and you hear the sound of air rushing out somewhere. What is going on? The On/Off is well oiled.
    I have no Sig.

    2 words.... bolt stick

    to see if it is bolt stick... if you have a straight shot or something long and narrow enough to put down the barrer of your mag..... recreate the problem now stick the straight shot down to the bolt and push it back...

    if the leak stops... it is bolt stick... just get a powertube spacer kit (usally around $10) and install a shorter spacer then what is currently in your mag.... repeat untill bolt stick stops

            by the way, an easier way to get the bolt back besides using a straight shot is just to slam the back of the mag with your hand. same affect, and it'll bring the bolt back.

                Yeah, its really frustrating because this is THE FIRST problem I've ever had with my Mag. It's kinda nice to know they aren't like immortal or anything. Earthly and prone to corruption like the rest of us, but enough about me.

                I think I'm gonna need a spacer kit. Anyone have one for sale? And I think I found part of my problem. I had made my trigger pull stiffer by putting half an o-ring up against the trigger around the little pin that hold it in. It was nice but I think it was too hard for the On/Off to push back out.

                Thanks for your help, and if anyone has a spacer kit. Or even a 225 let me know. PM is good.
