Yes, I traded it for an WAS'd 03 Half Milled Viking. Got a Conquest, Ripped Halo, and SM1 with it too. Just for my X-Mag.

I think I am in love...

Too bad...I figured out my problem. It was my blade trigger. I readjusted it...no problems since.

[pito189]

Well, I didn't have a blade trigger.

Played a tournament today with the Viking, all I have to say is I am glad I switched.

I had the same issue today! I had too much oil on the bolt. Weird, but when we wiped it down, and lightly lubed the bot it worked fine.

Not giving up my X ever!!!

loob your bolt so it slides on the powertube nicer

Never Lube your bolt! Bolts should be dry!

With the marker gassed up and the grip off, pull down on the c clip in the plunger a hair and see if it fires. The solenoid plunger length is not exactly set in stone. I think if you make it .005 longer your problems will go away. With the valve out and the solenoid plunger all the way down, look through the body and make sure the sear tip is below the body line. At the same time, check the trigger rod clearance behind the trigger with the selector switch in "E". It should not touch. Make sure the battery has 18v in it. Lemme know what goes on......

does this problem happen in just xmags, or emags too?

[G-Rock]

A guy on our team, saturday night his emag worked fine at the hotel, then saturday morning we gas it up and it wont even shoot in E or manual!! He used our backup angel.

Then we were talking to someone else at the tourney...won't mention his name, but you all know him.... and he said both his sfl and xamg did the samething ours did. He said he is about to trade both of them!!

So it looks as if the problem is across the board on the E-mags and the offshoots of it.

Many of the e-mags will screw in the clevis rod into plunger when fired, don't know the exact length but there should be about 3/16" of the screw showing. this is a very common problem when the loctite comes loose..
