    problem. and no clue what 2 do

    ok, i have a small problem, and i am not a mag tech, so first i will give ya my info
    custom slug body
    classic valve with lvl 10 kit
    Qlab hurricane valve reg
    benchmark dbl frame

    this is my problem...
    I can shoot the marker fine if i fully pull the trigger back every time and release it fully

    if i for lack of a better term" short stroke" the trigger, the marker leaks out the barrel and the bolt does not reset, i pull the trigger a few times and it will reset, but it continues to happen if i am not paying attention to my pulls of the trigger.

    i know it is probably a silly fix, but i am at a loss since i did not do the work myself to my marker and i should have!

      Tune your Level 10 with the loosest carrier that will not leak. Next take all the shims out. Hold a squigee @ 1/4" away from the bolt and fire it. The bolt should stay forward. Next add i shim at a time and place the squigee 1/4" away from the bolt and fire it again. Keep adding shims until the bolt reset itself after hitting the squigee. The classic (11-13bps) valve is very slow compared to an X/E/RT valve (26 bps) and is very eaisy to short stroke. If your looking for spped trade your classic valve and stock bolt into Rouge at the mag smith for a credit: http://automags.org/forums/showthread.php?t=197384

          Definately increase your carrier size. It appears you are having bolt stick issues.
          Except for the Automag in front, its usually the man behind the equipment that counts.

              gonna try it out

              I am kind of partial to the classic valve, it is a very old marker i have owned many yrs, and worked a plus till i have the level 10 kit installed(i just wanted to improve the ball break issues) i should have left well enough alone..

              i am gonna try what was suggested, but i will most likely have to get some parts or take it to t agd tech since i have no other parts from the kit since it was not installed by me and got nothing"extra" returned with the marker

              does anyone know a good mag tech in central nj?
