did you dissassemble it? make sure the linkage arm is still in place. it's what actually pulls the bolt back. it'll be a small metal rod running along the top of the gun.
having a bad powertube would just cause it not to shoot at all, not just leave the bolt forward. ------------- |

well, if the linkage arm is in properly, the front bolt is connected to the rear bolt. if the gun is cocked, and the linkage arm is in place, the bolt can't be forward. ------------- |

It could be that when you took yer 98c apart to add the Starbolt, you mightve fergotten to back the sear or the sear spring. ------------- Do not steal....the government hates competition!

The sear and sear spring is part of the markers trigger systrem. Look up at the banner above and click "support" and then click the 98c parts manual. ------------- Do not steal....the government hates competition!
