Do you hear anything when you pull the trigger?  Like a faint clicking?  If so, you just need to change the firing mode.  If not, will the gun cock?


If the gun won't cock, or does every 9 or 10 tries, then you need to find a small little magnet, on the underside of a cylinder thing.  Not very specific, but if you open the gun up there should be a long metal bar, and at the end of the bar, towards the bottom of the gun, it should be against a golden cylinder.  At the bottom of this cyclinder rests a lil magnet.  THere is a slot to the left of the magnet, slide the magnet into the slot.  It should rest just so that half the magnet is in the slot and half the magnet rests on the underside of the cylinder.

Umm....I'm assuming you've never taken every part out and looked at them and had to put them back in and troubleshoot.

Do you know the cyclinder I'm talking about?  It rest exactly next to the board, and it holds the armature pin in place and forces it up when you fire.

Anway, on the underside of that cyclinder, there rests a tiny circular magnet, very thin, that is supposed to hang off the side of the cylinder and rests in a small cut out.

He might mean it uncocks, but idk.  If something definitely doesn't sound or feel good and you have no idea what to do and you're getting frustrated, its best just to put it down and cool off/bring it to a proshop.

Need more info.  Describe exactly what happens.  Just the gun uncock?  Is there a leak anywhere?  Is the E-Grip clicking when you shoot?

Do you have the regular grip to try instead of the E-Grip?

if it prombling keeps jamming it might be your air tank because not enough ari to push it all the way back so you might need a lpa tank (n/2) the big ones the once you ban feel your self ok you get the picture

Exactly how is the spring supposed to be in there... is there a right way and wrong way? 

And how much will this affect my gun?

Thanks again..
