Every time I have tried to "walk" the trigger...the bolt goes about half way forward, vents air and then resets itself...during DRY FIRE. Is this a LvL 10 issue? It is acting like it is preventing me from chopping, but there is no paint going through the marker.
Why would it do this?
I am using the 1.5 o-ring carrier
2 shims
Medium Spring
Velocity = 275-280 fps
I should also tell you that I have tested the marker in manual mode. When I pull the trigger and hold it, the marker shoots correctly but then air will leak down the barrel for about 1-1.5 seconds while I hold the trigger back. It stops leaking on its own even while I hold the trigger back after about 1 to 1.5 seconds. Is the o-ring carrier too big? Would this be why I am having a hard time obtaining a high ROF?
Please help...Thanks.
While holding the trigger, leaking for a couple of seconds on a level 10 bolt is ok as long as it stops after a few seconds.
chuffing while dry firing is a level 10 issue. It is usually related to bolt stick. Maybe your carrier is too tight. Check that first. There could be rubbing of the bolt on something. Check your detents.
Your problem with the valve not being far enough forward will happen again with use. The valve will always creep to its most rear position. It is possible that the bolt stick issue is also causing the gun to not fire when this happens.
Except for the Automag in front, its usually the man behind the equipment that counts.
