Getting fed up with the X-Mag...

sounds to me that your battery is dead. that happens to me when i have a dead battery

I wish it was that.

Talking to Havoc now, maybe he can figure it out.

Alright, just shooting the gun in E with the grip off.

Starting shooting the gun slowly, gun shoots fine.

Shoot pulling faster, gun starts not shooting on some pulls. When it doesnt shoot, there is no click, but there is a very slight motion of the plunger as it jumps a tiny amount.

Now at this point if I switch it over to manual and shoot, and then switch it back to E, it will either shoot or still not shoot. It varies.

I'm at a loss

my PTP e-mag did much the same back in the day. I sent it to AGD and they fixed her up for it. Not exactly sure what they did, but i know it involved the sear pin (triger pin) and plunger. Sorry I can't be more of a help on that.

Mine does the exact same thing! I am beginning to think it may be 3.2, as it seems people with this upgrade experience it. My solution was to shoot it in hybrid..granted, it isnt really a "fix"..but, I dont skip[ shots anymore. It isnt the ground screw, or the noid...

[phantomhitman]

i cannot help you either, but it seems quite a few people (around 5 or so) are having the same issues you are with their xmag. i read about a few of them in a post last week i believe. try checking the past posts back to page 3 or 4, maybe they found an answer?! good luck.

See if it does it with the breech module removed. It may be the bolt binding up in the breech because of misalignment. Mine had that problem.

WHOA Stop ripping all the internals out of your gun.

It sounds like the eye isn't seeing the ball all the time, like you need to turn it a quarter turn. Check it. I have used paint where its fine for a bit of the day, but then I start skipping shots, and I just have to turn the eye a bit.

I always check the eye against paint at the beginningof the day.


And I always leave my battery on charge over night, a car journey is not going to cut it.

[BlackVCG]

Just for the sake of it, take the valve out and then take out the on/off assembly. You should have a black o-ring in the center and a clearish/yellow o-ring around that.

[Ghost24]

Pito turn the eye off and see if it fires right. If not, check your ground wire in the battery. I was having the same issues you were having. RobAGD put in one of his battery and it worked fine. The ground wire for the battery contact was not well gounded (connected). Rob soldered the contact and the problem was solve. Good Luck.

Kevmaster, I didn't start having the problem until I got it back from AGD.

Bolter, I don't ever use the eye, it's a pain in the arse to setup, and with level 10, I don't find it worth the time. Also it's pretty much worthless IMHO as it's not a break beam eye.

BlackVCG, I have all the o-rings in.

Havoc and I went through it last night, and we figured it might be the plunger length, I need to find some calipers to work with though.


I have to rustle up some calipers, and see how that goes.

[Dayspring]

Check your on/off pin assembly & orings. I found that mine tend to dry out quite a bit and they get sticky. Too much friction.

If you haven't done so, take the on/off assembly out, lube the orings inside the brass part and make sure the quad oring & white oring are nice and oiled too.

I've had this same problem with my Morlocked E-Mag for quite some time now. It will work fine in Manual mode, but once I go into E it won't shoot. The shots will register, but the marker won't shoot barely any of the shots. I'll put it on burst mode of 15 shots, and it *may* shoot 2 or 3 times, but all 15 shots register.

I've checked the plunger length, and sear lengths, and have the proper o-rings, and still can't figure out why it won't work.

I just assumed it was my solenoid dying or dead, and was saving up for a AGD board replacement and solenoid, but it looks like those may not be the problem...

I'm going to go back again and re-check all the lengths.

The solenoid plunger is 3.005" right? What about everything else?

[funkmunky56]

Did you bother checking the alignment of the solenoid plunger clevis assy on the sear like I mentioned?? Seriously, if that's off at ALL, it binds on the solenoid. and, when you switch it to mech mode, it FORCES the plunger down, straightening it a lil bit, so it'll shoot for a little while again on e mode. But then , things that are off tend to get more off over time, and it starts binding again. so you gotta switch to mech mode, force it again, and start the whole process over...

it sucks. but fixing that was really satisfying.

[BajaBoy]

dont know if anyone said it already but i think i know the problem... when it stops shooting in E mode look at the noid, it drifts over and locks up untill you either fire it in mech or push it in yourself

[pito189]

xrancid_milkx the plunger length should be 3.008"

funkmunky56 it all appears aligned to me. There are no bends in the entire sear, plunger.. assembly.

BajaBoy, the solenoid moves a very slight amount, I'm talking maybe a 1/16 of an inch no more than that though.
