New RT Custom right out of the box, now what?

[Boltboy]

I may be mistaken. Basically ill be pulling faster than the bolt seems to be reseting and I get that "chuff" sound, usually resulting in 2 balls coming down the barrel (but no beak, how cool is that =D). Its like im pulling the trigger before its come all the way back.

I dont actually own an adjustable HP tank. I hope this isnt a must for RTs, because this tank is actually a few days old. I'm not sure what the reactivy should feel like at its best, but atm I do not notice a huge difference between the way the trigger comesback compared to a classic. It doesnt exaclty pop back into place right away.

Thanks,

John

Well, it does sound like shortstroking. No, you wont have to get an adjustable HPA, it would have just been the easy way to test if higher reactivity would help.

I see two things that you can do:
1. Shorten the on/off-pin to increase reactivity. Just sand the thin part part of the pin with fine sandpaper. Go slow and test often until you get nice reactivity without getting a illegar trigger pull. As I said earlier, if you screw up you will have to buy a new pin, but it's cheap. There should be a significant difference between the classic trigger and the RT trigger.

2. Get the ULT. Thanks to the shims, you can adjust reactivity easily. With 5 ULT shims and 1 lvl10 shim in the on/off assembly its pretty easy to get used to the trigger pull. I never shortstroke anymore.
