    bit of chuffing/boltstick

    Finally got my friends scuba tank and filled it with air for I can fill my tanks. I filled my classic RT and it would not cock at first. I had to push the bolt back and I wouldbe able to get one shot off it till it did the same thing again.

    I took the valve out and checked it and oiled the gun, tada it worked and was working fine for a while. Now its doing what it used to do when I first got it, its chuffing and somtimes the bolt is sticking. Its not as bad as it used to be but im afraid it might be soon. What can cause it to all sudden start this problem back up? I had it sent to agd and tuned and everything and I only shot it 3 times sense then.

    Not to mean offense but I got my angel up and shot it and I had no problems and its a 2000 LCD. Never had to fix anything on it.

    I love my RT but it seems theres always a problem. I used to own a RT back when they first came out and that one never had problems but this was before LVL10 and it got stolen. My new RT just wants to give me problems

    Anyways what do you guys think it is? Thanks

    Use the largest carrier that doesnt leak. Bolt stick means youre using too small of a carrier (i think). Either that or switch springs.

      im a fool and never even bothered asking for my left over parts to lvl10 after sending them and my gun into AGD. They forgot to give them back but my gun worked perfect so I thought I would not need them anymore. Shouldint these parts work though? They have for last few times I played perfectly.

      Bah I dunno what to do now...

        Hmm well I just completly took everything in valve apart well almost everything. I took the lvl10 all apart and stuff and there was actually some orings kinda dry so I oiled each one. I then put it back together and its not doing it anymore, works great so far and it even rapid fires easier now.

        I dont get it tough I oiled it thru the forgrip macroline connector, shouldint that do just as good?

          as far as i know, that shoulda worked fine. You should call AGD and see if they can send you a few spare parts, explain what happened. I am pretty sure you will need to do a bit more upkeep with your lvl10 over the next few years(or however long you keep it) and you dont want to have to sent it to AGD just to switch carriers that you should have yourself anyways. You could always try to put some oil on the outside of the bolt, where it rubs with the spring. Mine gets quite a bit of friction there, but it performs well enough.
          you know you play this game too much when the neighbors stop fixing their broken windows...

            The o-ring that seals the bolt in Level 10 will wear out over time, when it starts to leak you switch to the next size smaller carrier and it should stop and work for several months before it starts to leak again. This will happen several times and when the smallest carrier no longer is sufficient to stop the leaking its time to trash that o-ring and start the process all over again. I play 1-2 times a month and it took a year last time to go from the #2 carrier all the way to #0.

            So you need those parts.
