Short Stroking tips

[m-98]

I was wrong, I thought I was short stroking, but the bolt is sticking, I know it is in the video, but could someone tell me how to fix it.

you need to get a PT spacer kit. put in a longer spacer.

Ok, I haven't been able to fix anything yet cause I don't have the parts, but I dry fired the gun to see if I could get a better idea what is wrong. It leaks after I fire a few time, but when I hold the trigger down, it stops leaking, but when I release the trigger again, it leaks and the bolt moves forward on its own and stops about halfway in the breach.

team colors

i have had the worst luck with this paint. agreed that level 10 will elimnate your paint breaking problem most likely. for the time being dont shoot team colors i can almost assure you that will eliminate alot of your problem.

as far as the leaking. gotta got with trying a diff power tube spacer. drop a few drops of oil in asa afterwards.

sounds like you have a couple problems.........

make sure you have a good sear, not rounded off at all.

make sure the bolt isn't rounded off or chipped.

sounds like you also have a bolt stick problem if the bolt wont reset after it fires. re-placing the PT o-ring and getting a spacer kit will solve that.

you dont have any problems, but i bet your using CO2 aren't you? Get an expantion chamber so there isn't any liquid getting into your gun. Unlike your M-98, Mags don't like CO2. You can get either that, or get a HPA tank and use air/nitrogen from now on. It should solve your bolt stick problem. As far as breaking paint goes, just make sure your not short stroking and it really shouldn't break any paint. Team Colors isn't very brittle paint so if your break TC, perhaps your firing too fast. BTW, is your gun a powerfeed or a stnd feed? If your breaking paint and not short stroking with TC and your gun is a powerfeed, your nubbin is probably out too far, lower it. As long as it's not double feeding, you want it as low as possible. Other than that, you should be set to go.

I did the research, I'm using nitro. right now I don't care about double feeding, I just want to fix the problem(s). It is a PF left.

I have examined(sp?) the problem again and have found that when I pull the trigger and hold it for a few seconds and then release the trigger slowly, the sear pin does not return to its original position, it only goes halfway. Then when I pull the trigger the bolt does nothing, but on the next pull the bolt stops halfway in the breach and air starts leaking out the barrel. Then I pull the trigger normally and everything is normal. I am thinking that it is something in the PT like many of you have said, but I still wanted to run it by you. Should I try a new spacer?

Any ideas?

i have that problem once in a while. My friend recently bought the intelliframe. If you are thinking about upgrading, get the intelli, it cured my friends short stroking problems

to me it sounds like you have bolt stick.

pulling the trigger really slow does weird things with my mag too. they seem to like a quick pull and quick release. but that should not effect the bolt stick issue, I would get a PT spacer kit.

Thanks for all your help, everyone. I'm going to get a PT spacer kit. Right now I don't have the money for a new frame, but I will later this summer.
