    Minimag Prob....

    Guys I need your help. My mini has a level 10, stage expansion and intelliframe blade otherwise it is totally stock.
    Problem: gun chonos fine but I get going into the game and it won't shoot. Makes kinda "thhhook" sound when I pull the trigger then nothing. I feel pressure on the trigger but nothing happens. I shoot with an antisiphon CO2. Your thoughts?

    I think you need to retune your lvl10... Maybe the carrier o-ring is too tight and is causing bolt stick. Go a few carrier sizes up to the point it doesnt leak. Use the same carrier o-ring you have been using. Also use the correct spring:

    - uncut = 275-300 fps
    - cut spring = 250-275 fps
    - red spring = 250 or lower

    Atleast if i recall right...

    I've had this same issue with my xmag... tuned it and after a few months it had issues firing in e-mode. Turned out the carrier o-ring swelled up a bit and i had to move up 2 sizes in carriers to fix it.

          I had to dig around but I found the carriers. I found that the carrier seemed a bit too snug so I found one the seemed to fit nice by moving up a size(one with more rings) and I put the uncut spring in(I had the red one in, nice huh). Seems to want to shoot but it leaks now. Thanks for the input, any suggestions?

            OK. I went to the next tighter carrier and the leaking stopped. I just dry fired about 100 times at diffferent rates, and it shot like a MAG!!!!! These guns are great!!!
