    cphilips bone head day....

    yesterday I was working on two markers at the same time. A X mag and a older smart valve mag for Geremy at Gold Dragon.

    So he comes over and I had already rigged up this Xmag with a tank and fired it a few times and I so when he gets here I hand it to him to try. Well it does not shoot. So I am like hmmmm... So I take it from him and for me... no shoot.


    So I get him started tearing down the smart mag while I dissasemble the Xmag. Of course the on off pin is sticking out on the X mags valve so I have to take the body off. Well I go through this thing and all the while we are stoping and messing with this smartvalved thing too. Back and forth between them.

    By the way; We just about end up gutting the smartthingie and replacing all the weird stuff with stock stuff to get it fixed. Interesting thing with that one is we found no reg seat at all in it! But thats another story...

    So now remember all this while I am taking a Smart Valve Mag all the way apart I am also going back and forth with the X mag several times taking it apart and checking and lubing stuff and even measuring stuff with the calipers and all trying to get it to shoot too...

    I bet I took it apart like three maybe even FOUR full times and put it back together because each time the On Off pin was down and catching the body and so the valve would not slide out... So you gotta take it apart the hard way. So I do. Got plenty of air so can find no problem at all!

    Well finaly I get it together the last time and still no shoot! I am bad with a cold the last few days and taking some medications for that so I am in no mood for this crap. I am pissed. I am stumped at this point... So then I just happen to notice something....


    So guess what it turned out to be?

    Hint: Life is so simple but we can make it harder if we try....

        Nope already said air was checked and good. Vavle was indeed pressuring up.... Nothing was found out of spec including all orings and length of pin or sear everything measured with calipers and properly replaced SEVERAL times!

        Keep guessing.

              Either the safety was on or the gun was turned off.

                          If something woulda been missing I woulda found it.

                          So basicaly I "over teched" this marker. Complicating the whole thing by thinking too technical from the get go. I was digging into my technical side of my brain without consulting my practical side....

                            Yep I hate to admit it but it did. Normaly you cannot get the Sear pin in real easy without the safety off or at least jiggling it. But somehow that never happened so I did not realize it. I never put the safety on so I have no idea how it got on. But I never checked! NEVER! till the last time I put the sear pin in then it dawned on me... that was like the fourth time reassembling it. LOL!

                            Course I was on Dayquil and probably my "Tack" was not the sharpest at the time.
