use a fresh full tank. Oil all your o-rings, specifically the rear bolt. Check to make sure both your valve screws are tight and in place. Check to see if your sear is worn.

*edit* turn up your regulator.

Ditch the reg. and de-cocking will improve.

make sure all of your screws are tightened, loose screws will allow blowback gasses to become blow-out-between-the-reciever-halves-gasses,  this will cause the hammer to not return fully, and if they are loose enough could cause double firing.

Things to check- Valve bolts are tight and there, Ball detent is in the proper position, regulator is set at appropriate pressure, tank is full, and sear or rear bolt is not worn down.

the snipe- No selling on the forum. Because thats what it looks like by your sig.
