A5 Misfiring -bolt not resetting properly

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic


   Ok, here's what's happening...
I was at a tournament yesterday. The ups I've done are the Egrip, Rufus Dawg bolt/power tube, double trigger, and expansion chamber. 
I was in Semi mode. My gun started out working fine. But as the day went on, my gun began to misfire. Basically, I'd hit the trigger once and it would fire 2-3 rapid shots before resetting the bolt. It was like there wasn't enough blowback pressure to allow for the bolt to reset. Sometimes I would have to re-cock it to fire again. But most of the time I didn't.
It got worse as the day went. Eventually, it did it on every shot. I tried to fix it by putting on a new 9-volt battery in my Egrip and switching tanks to ensure I had enough gas. Nothing helped. 
Is it a problem with my rear bolt or power tube? If anyone can help me, I would be eternally grateful!
-Mike

	I'd rather be playing paintball than sitting here talking about it. GIDEON'S ELITE: Never heard of us? It's cause we're not any good.

	probably the sear/bolt being warn by the way you described it. If it got worse as you used it more then this is probably why.
