Help. My Classic has become a blender.
Okay, I've had this classic mag since '94. It's a Level 7, powerfeed left, with an A.I.R. valve. I'm shooting a PMI ceramic barrel with a new plastic nubbin.
Last weekend, at a 24 hour scenario, the gun started chopping paint like a dang cuisinart. I've played with this gun for over ten years - and this is the worst day I've ever had. Sure, the Level 7 will screw you good if you aren't careful, but I'm an old hand at this. I recently changed the grip frame on the gun - my old frame was the original polymer frame with a double trigger and a hacked off trigger guard.
The rules for the scenario that I was playing specified a trigger guard, so I bought an old-school aluminum trigger frame from the AGD store. My old frame had had a trigger job done in the mid nineties when I had the double trigger installed. After looking over everything yesterday, I decided that I had to simply be short stroking the gun, causing all the breaks. When I put on the new trigger frame, I lengthed the sear rod a bit to take some of the front to back 'play' out of the trigger. Could that have made the gun more prone to short stroking?
I don't want to go to Level X. I need all the gas efficiency I can get out of my 68/3000 Raptor.
Any help on this? Or do I just need to settle down on the trigger an improve my technique?
