My gun will shoot about 2 - 4 shots and then suddenly uncock itself...I tightened the powertube screws on the right side of the gun - using lock-tite. I have made sure everything is put together right.. the only thing I haven't tried is replacing the O-rings, for the simple fact that I don't know which O-Rings I should replace...

Any help would be greatly appreciated. And the sooner, the better.

Are you chopping paint?

What type of hopper are you using?

The most common cause of this problem is you are shooting to fast for your hopper to keep up.

I have the cyclone feed...I even put my old hopper back on because I have never had this problem before the cyclone feed and it did the same thing...

I'm baffled...

Does it do it no matter how fast you are firing? Like, if you are firing slow does it still do it?

Yes - Sometimes I can get a few more out with it being slower, but not too often

Does it uncock from the cocked position... or do you mean it fails to re-cock after firing?

If it uncocks from the cocked postion with no action from you, then the sear catch on the bolt may be worn down or the spring on the sear is worn.

If it fails to re-cock after firing, consider this... Have you done any mods to the springs?  If so, replace with originals.  You may very well have a leak, so you should replace all the rings (buy a kit, its fairly cheap).

Check your hammer and bolt o-rings to make sure they aren't swollen or broken. Make sure your sear isn't worn on the catching edge, same goes for the hammer. Also, make sure your ball-detent is in correctly (so the ball pushes it down as it and the bolt travel forward) if it is installed backward, well, that can cause that kind of issue.
