Sticky trigger

[Thor13]

Hey there when i have been playing for about an hour my guns trigger will start to stick open. i use CO2. can this be fixed?

[Walrus]

Well, what's your setup?

[Thor13]

well its a 68 automag the Co2 feed line sits right up under the heel of the gun right behind the handle NOT underneath it. and its a straight feed into the action.

[Walrus]

well, you should start with your on/off. First give it a good drenching in oil. Second while you have it out of the valve, look at your orings in the on/off. Also, make sure your sear is pretty free moving, no kinks or hang ups anywhere. Lastly, have you recently rebuilt the valve (replaced all the seals)? If that hasn't been performed in a while, I would suggest doing so because it will also include the orings for the on/off. Also, use a good oil on your gun, like autolub or KC troublefree.

How old is the gun?
What type of bolt are you using?
When is the last time you changed the bolt spring?

You do have an on-off. It is the pin assembly in the bottom of the valve.

You definately need to give the valve a good cleaning if it as old as you say. Replace the regulator seat oring when you have the valve apart. Replace the bolt spring at the same time. No doubt it is worn out and is causing your bolt stick problems. You don't have to drench it in oil. As long as the orings are wet, they will be fine. Too much oil isn't goo either. It just gets blown out into the barrel and causes inaccuracy.

You should get an oring kit. It is good to keep it around in case of problems anyway. An oring kit fixes most problems that mags have.

[Thor13]

how much is it and where do i get it?
the oring kit that is?

The cheapest would be a dealer such as Themagsmith or Tunaman here on AO. Then there is AGD directly, but then you would be paying full suggested retail price and higher shipping.
