More SFL problems

[AGD]

Spaceman,

Was it cold out the day you were breaking paint? You can't bounce test paint later because cold and humidity affect it constantly. Cold temps make paint way more fragile very quickly but it recovers as it gets warmer. If it was cold out put the paint in the frig for a few hours and then do another bounce test.

It was about 45-50 degrees and sunny outside when I was playing. The paint I had left over was still in its unopened bag if it makes a difference, probably not. I'll put some in the fridge tonight and do another test tomorrow.

2nd set of bounce tests
This was paint I left in thr fridge over night about 8hrs.
1,3,3,5,2,2,1,5,5,1 average about 2.8
This was paint I left outside for about 2hrs cause it was about the same conditions as on sunday.
6,9,1,3,5,2,9,4,1,1 average about 4.1

I also took out my superbolt and put in my regular RT bolt like brain said. And I shoot a hopper full of paint that I left out side and it was fine no breaks anywhere. I left the rest of the paint in the fridge and plan on shooting it later to see what happens. Oh I also put a modified foamie tip on the RT bolt to help a bit. I took a new foamie for the super bolt and cut it down to fit. The breech just barely slides past it and it doesn't seem to stick out to far. I can post a pic if you want.

when u get time post a pic of what you did on the bolt ,and i hope the rt bolt keeps you from busting paint ,i know i dont have any prob with my bolt or the paint i shoot,but keep us up to date ,if u need anything you know the number,.

You can just see the foamie on the top of the bolt.

Heres a shot from the top view to see how it sits.
I got to shoot it alittle today and it almost made it all the way through the hopper cause it chopped. It was the paint that I was leaving in the fridge. Up till the chop nothing broke down the barrel. It was probably a feed issue. I'll do the same thing tomorrow with the halo and new ball dent I'm gettin.

I think you'll slay this little choppin' goblin yet!

Spaceman,

Something is wrong with the feeding in that gun. Please replace your ball detent and make sure its not too far in. You might have to send it back for us to look at it.

Hey man, it sounds like you are having better luck with the regular bolt which tend to be the case sometimes. As was said before its appearently not uncommon for the superbolt to crack the next ball up in your gun and have it explode in your gun. I wouldent toss your SFL just yet, paint breakage resolutions are right aroud the corner

Okay update time. Got my new ball dents the other day. Had to go to a angel/cocker store near me. Some of the guys in there frown on the automag. But the day I went the kewler guys were there. I got to inform them of all the kewl new stuff AGD is doing mainly the sfl/extreme. The guy that helped me was impressd to find out that the sfl took cocker barrels and also used angel ball dents. He also thought that the removable breech was kewl I got to hold the new IR3 oh man that thing is much sweeter in person. And that vertical trigger frame is so comfy. No more having to contort the wrist when holding the gun in tight. Also got a chance to hold the new dye cocker. Oh my.......that thing is so sweet the trigger pull is so smooth and light. Plus it is really light. But doesn't feel like my sfl. Okay enough of that on to more results.
Paint=nitroduck 6,2,8,4,1,8,2,8,3,5 average 4.6
I shot 2 hoppers of this stuff and no breaks at all but I did have 2 chops in each hopper. But it was when I was down to the last 5-8 balls left.
Paint=team colors (this stuff has been in the fridge since last time I tested) 1,10,3,2,1,2,2,2,5,2 average 3
Now I had no problems at all with this stuff no breaks and no chops
I have some questions about the balldents and another abut my sfl.
1) The ball dents I got have a little o-ring at the base. My original one did not, should I leave this on? And it does seem that my old dent was in to far. I can see alittle difference in how much of the ball is sticking out and how there is alittle difference in the tention of the ball.
2) Whan I have my sfl on and the saftey is on everytime i pull the trigger I can hear what I think is the selinod clicking. And once I turn off the saftey it stops. Is this normal?
Well it looks like I'm getting closer to kickin this problem in the booty.

Spaceman,

The damn detents are the one thing we don't make and they do suck. Yes it should have the oring for correct spacing. The problem is the ball sticks out a different distance on every single piece. You still have to adjust each one correctly. Take a note of how far it's sticking out right now so if you do have to replace it you will know where it needs to be.

The RT bolt is undersized for the SFL breach and causes more blowback that is bobbling your balls when the hopper gets low. If you are going to use that one you have to watch your hopper level.

Glad you are making progress with it. By the way I am a big C&H fan.

LOL........those damn dents. I can see how it sucks to rely on angel parts
Is there any whay to add something to the RT bolt to help make it fit better? If not no prob I'll just have to watch my hopper level better. Thanks for all of you time.
