I've done some research, but the answer I found doesn't seem to work for my E-Mag.
Basics:
Standard E-Mag put together by Tuna with lvl 7 bolt
XMod Beta 1.8
All things stock
The gun fires great in E mode.
I am having a bolt stick problem in mechanical mode and then it leaks air down barrel and doesn't reset until you degas the gun.
At first I thought it was short stroking, but this only occurs when you try to do individual shots and not bounce the trigger. For example, it happens when you pull the trigger hard enough that it won't RT and bounce back.
I found the standard spec for the trigger rod length and it calls for 2.125" on the E-mag. If I set it to that, it will only fire in full auto on E-mode and still doesn't resolve the problem of the bolt stick with a full trigger pull on Mech mode.
I then adjusted it down to 2.10" and it worked better in E mode (only registering one shot per pull), but it still has the bolt stick in mech mode with one full pull.
Went down to 2.08" and it seems to be even happier, but can still replicate the problem.
My question is - should I keep shortening the trigger rod little by little to find where the gun won't have the bolt stick problem? Or am I chasing the wrong ghost and I need to be looking elsewhere?
I'd like to be able to play with the gun more reliably in mechanical mode and not solely rely on it working in E mode only.
Thanks!
When is the last time the bolt spring was replaced? They are a consumable item and need to be replaced periodically. They should be replaced at about 20k to 25k cycles before they start having short stroke issues.
Except for the Automag in front, its usually the man behind the equipment that counts.
