how high is your reg set? if its lower, it may not give you just enough pressure to cycle, and the rear bolt can catch the sear, causeing it to "double fire". so turn up your regukator, and see if it persists. -------------

check your ball catch. Quick and easy, sounds like that could be a problem ------------- FFKFASOFAA Erst wenn die Wolken schlafengehn kann man uns am Himmel sehn wir haben Angst und sind allein Gott weiss ich will kein Engel sein |

This is the sear and is very important that it be strong enough to catch the bolt every time. This by itself may be your cause.
But this could also be a problem. Without enough air pressure, the bolt would not thrown back hard enough to be recaught by the sear. ------------- A-5: 12" Ceramic, Egrip/WAS/Duel, HPA, MP5 sliding stock SMG-68: 12" Ceramic 68-Specials(8): 12"&14" Ceramic, 12V Revy *** 1 Tip-n-Strip, 1 Blue, 1 FA w/Qloader SL-68: 14" Ceramic SMG-60 Ext.

It might be your reg. Make sure that your psi about 800-850 becasue thats the best for tippmanns. ------------- TIPPMANN 98 CUSTOM 14" Progressive barrel 32* Black gel grips BT-16 Double trigger Pen Spring Mod X-core Expansion Chamber Vertical Adapter |
