    actually, from what I hear, it could actually be the ULE screwed on too tight. Try losening the front frame screw and the back banjo bolt to just finger tight.

      disregard that if the bolt is sticking forward, i know the problem: the ball detent has the wrong o-ring in it, take the bigest carrier you have and take the o-ring off, dont tear it. Then remove your ball detent and add that o-ring to the exsiting one and screw it back in until it's snug but not to tight, just tight enough so that it wont be to far in. Then in the morning call AGD tech at 1-847-919-3104 and talk to Roman, he will send you the proper o-ring free.

      Also, is your ULE blue by any chance?

          My ULE is red. And i have and CP angel detent, if that matters. So now i've tried the 2.5, 2, 1.5 with no shims, long spring and short spring. Same thing everytime. Gas up, pull the trigger, it fires and bolt gets stuck all the way foward. Could my detent really be holding the bolt foward with such a great force? I literally have to get it down the just the ULE body and pry it out with a screwdriver.

            yes, I had the same exact problem, if you dont believe me just take out the detent and gas it up. I called up AGD and they diagnosed the problem with me, i had to jam a barrel swab down there really really hard to get it to go back, what happened i think is that they threaded it wrong so that it sits 180 degrees around because one side of the detent has a little cut-out for the bolt.

              Wow your right, i jsut took out my detent and the metal on it is all tore up. Im hoping to use this gun on sunday. So do you think i can toss a like 2 little o rings on the detent and would that work? Im gonna try and get the gun to cycle now with no detent in it

                Wow thanks paintman1142, so i guess thats the problem, just took it out and it cycles just fine. Im having a little problem with "chuffing" thought, Like ill get 2 good cycles, then chuff chuff, 2 good cycles. My current setup is long spring, no shims, 1.5 carrier. Any suggestions?

                    Tried the short spring now, fired once then leaked down the barrel.

                    So what shouuld i try to fix the chuffing with the long spring, or the leaking down the barrel with the short spring? Also with the leak down the barrel, should i try a smaller carrier now? Im at a 1.5 right now, or do i need to add shims?

                      Thanks to everyone, my current setup is working great. Long spring 2 shims, 1.5 carrier. I tossed an old powertube oring on my detent and now it works just fine. I'm having a little problem with chuffing when i try to shoot fast, but thats prolly just from me not shooting a mag in such a long time. But again thanks to everyone who helped me with such quick responses.
