New Gun Issues

[Kyser]

Ok Ive got a ULE Rt Pro custom that Ive had for about a week. Ive put 3 tanks of air through it and around 600 pb's. My problem is, when I start to roll on it and then short stroke it or whatever you want to call it my bolt seems to stick inside and it wont recock. I put a drop or 2 of oil in the asa and it seems to have helped bring the amount it does this down a bit but its still there! Is there anything I can do to make it stop. Im playing next wednesday and if my gun just decides to not recock in the middle of a game Im screwed. I can sometimes bump the xvalve and it will recock sometimes I have to de-gas the gun to get it to work. This really is annoying me since if that happen with my tippy all I had to do is pull back on the lever and bingo im ready to roll again.

Someone please give me a way to stop this, Im filling up my tank again tommorrow and might beable to get to the shop to reair it once more monday/tuesday but thats it.

edit- forgot to tell you- very first thing you should try is to tighten the field strip screw tight... allen wrench tight. if that doesnt work, then try the other stuff.


first, put one or two drops of oil in your powertube, and fire without your barrel on like 50 times... if that doesnt work go up a carrier size and use another drop of oil in the asa. remember, barrel off or itll get coated in oil.

How many shims have you put in the level 10? Too few and it won't recock easily, too many and it'll vent down the barrel while it's aired up. A good number is 2, though a friend of mine runs his mag with 1.

All the settings are stock, I have yet to pull this gun apart.

To disassemble your valve and see what your setup is, do not change anythign at first, just make sure you oil everything when putting back together!!! Once you know what you have in there, it puts you in a better position to be able to fine tune things to your liking!!! Just make sure you follow the directions in your manual, and tighten your field strip screws down without overtightening them!!! Overtightening your screws does more harm than good, specially with an X-valve!!!
