    3 shims leak, 2 shims doesn't reset

    Like the title says, 3 shims leak, 2 shims won't reset (well it resets, but not until after a 2nd pull)

    1.5 carrier

    Any ideas?

    Would lack of oiling (I have none right now) do this?

    I also have the original spring in...would putting in the red one + turning up velocity help?

    I'll play with it more tomorrow.

    Shims shouldn't affect the reset of the bolt as in bolt stick. Are you saying that it doesn't reset if you put your finger in front of the bolt or it doesn't reset when you shoot it?

      Sorry

      It doesn't reset when I stick my finger in

      It does leak the air out after it stops, slowly. But usually I still have to push the bolt back the final bit with my finger to get it back.

        make sure the field strip screw is tight enough.

          Go to the 2.0 carrier and 2 shims.
          Except for the Automag in front, its usually the man behind the equipment that counts.

                I don't post there much, I'm still a stocker (2000 tj sport), and dirt broke. But it is an awsome source of info, and a great community.
