still got bolt stick

[buzzboy]

I posted a little while back about some bolt stick issues. Now I finally got around to airing up my gun and trying it with a regular on/off instead of the ULT. Saddly it hasn't made any difference at all. The bolt still sticks forward and the trigger must be pulled again to reset it. Do I just need to change to the next up carrier(I don't have the next one up). I played like this for a while with no problems and it randomly started one weekend.

So seeing that my LX(I think) was having this problem I swithced to Level 7. This was shooting fine but I was getting major velocity problems. If I left the gun sitting the first shot would obbliterate the ball from the force of the air. I do have a feeling though that it is because of the Co2 because with Nitro it had no problem. HELP

For the bolt stick it could be a carrier that is too or you may need a shim in the Lvl 10 to prevent bolt stick. Do you have any shims in there at all? I'm using 2 in mine.

For the velocity creep you may need a new reg seat. Does the velocity jump up on the first shot after the marker has been sitting aired up? If so that sounds like it could be your problem.

With Nitro I had no problems with the ULT on my Classic valve. Then I tried it with co2 and all hell broke loose. Is the reg seat the really big oring thing. I have a spare. Again that only happened with co2. Also with co2 I was hearing a liquid sounding noise but I would expect that is because I was using only co2.

I have 2 shims in the LX and no spares. And the next size up carrier I have is a 2.5 when the one I have in now is a 1 or 1.5. The 2.5 has no bolt stick but has barrel leak.


EDIT:
I really want to be playing in 2 weekends for a really big game at a real field(this is big for me). Preferably I will be using my own gun. I was thinking. I have an old 3 star 68micromag valve with the thumb knob and a slight downbarrel leak(needs a free rebuild) . Do you think anyone would be willing to trade this old valve for an LX kit or even just a carrier kit(or two pieces). Or should I just drop the big bux and buy the two sizes that I don't have that I need.

It sounds like the carrier you need is a 2. You can get them from AGD, and they ship things quickly. The reg seat is not a real big one, just thick. it's the one that is in the middle of the valve when you unscrew the halves. Make sure that no liquid co2 is getting in the gun, that will fry your o-rings.
