    Automag Jamming

    I seem to be experiencing a problem with my mag. When i fire the marjer seems to jam up and the only way to get it to shoot again is to give the valve a thud. I know this can't be healthy and i'm in desperite need of help as i have a tourney next weekend. i was wondering if it could possibly be caused by the gripframe or trigger?

    Another problem i seem to have (it might be related) is that every 10 - 15 balls i fire i have one ball being chopped. This seemd to happen to various paint (32 Degree's Compo paint, Draxas and even RP Schearer).

    I have already reaplaced all the seals in the marker, with no luck. The details of my marker setup are below.

    If any 1 has any advice please let me now asap.

    Many Thanks

      YOu might have a burr on the steel ring in the body that's binding up against the bolt. Check that.

      Otherwise, you might be getting some bolt stick. Use a longer spacer in the powertube.

          I have changed the spring reciently and thsi is the first time i'm playing with it.
          Could i use 2 spacers on the powerstube or a larger one?

              On a level 7 gun, it's one spacer only. They come in a kit of longer spacers. That's how you tune it.

                  I had a similar problem, it turned out the wire nubin was bent so that it would wedge itself between the bolt and the barrel and jam the bolt.

                          looks like its fixed!

                          Well it looks like i managed to fix it over the weekend, not sure how but i just stripped the marker again and gave every part a good clean, re oiled and put it back together. I know that pressure plays a big role, what would be the minimum playin pressure on a 68automag?

                              The least amount of pressure that I personally would put into a mag would be about 750, but I think they can go down to about 650.. but they run best in my oppinion at 800-900
