Would an overtighned AGD Detent cause barrel breaks...?

[veritas]

I need some help guys and gals...

This is what I had:

68 Hopper Left Classic Automag, Fomieless bolt, 9V Revvy, Parabolic feed plug, 12 inch dye ultralight, intelli not hooked into hopper, 68/4500 Pure Energy...

I played a few weeks ago at PBX in Jersey and in 4 hours of playing, I didn't break one ball...


I decided to upgrade the cosmetics...

This is what I have now:

RPG Exile body W/Strangler feed neck, AGD Detent, 12 Inch Dye Boomstick, Snatch Grip, Stick Grip, RPG Splinter rail with RT-Pro Sear and Pin...Same 9V Revvy, Valve, tank, bolt, intelli and paint used from PBX...

I ran through the first hopper at moderate pace and had one barrel break a quarter way through...Cleaned it out and continued. Got another barrel break about half way through...I thought this odd...So i thouroughly cleaned the barrel...the feed neck seemed slightly loose so I tightned that and didn't overtighten the 9V this time in the sleeve...I also had the Detent very tight...I loosened that up abit just making it snug and thats all...
I regased and filled up my hopper and went through the whole hopper at moderate pace without breaking a ball...

Could the neck being loose or the detent being over tight cause barrel breaks?
Again, this was all cosmetics, except for the new sear & pin, I never touched the valve...

I have a 10 inch Stiffi coming so I'll try a different barrel, but I can;t see it being the Boomstick...

Would the 9V revvy make a difference...I wasn;t shooting that fast and I'm conscious of not short stroking...

Any ideas you may have would be great.

Thanks,

yes it could be splitting the seam when the ball goes past it. Also do you have the oring on the detent to set it in right?

Well, The detent came attached to the body when I got it...I didn't remove the O-ring from the detent...It looks like it's on right...

Is that what u mean?

[GA Devil]

yeah. just dont crank it in there..finger tight is fine with the oring on it.

I think AGD says to put a LV10 carrier o-ring on there. You can always try 2 and see how it works.

Thanks guys...I assume it's a lvl 10 carrier O-Ring as it came from Rogue factor and he uses AGD parts...

Mindjob, u get the IM I sent u?


Thanks again for the advice...
