It works without the barrel of? Weird.... When you have the barrel of and you shoot it, how far does the paintball go? |

Sounds like you have an aftermarket front bolt and its sticking in the breech, or the front bolt o-ring is buggered up. Rossy if you dont have anything to add, then dont post. -------------

Check the detents and the bolt oring. Then just use hoppes or any marker mineral oil to oil your gun and try again. ------------- My guns name is Mr. Max in remembrance of my dog that got hit by a car: Tippmann A-5 Ricochet R-5 JCS double Trigger Tippmann E-Grip Flatline Barrel Do you have the need for speed? |

Guys, none of those things would be affected by the barrel being on there or not. Its obvious that enos is once again correct in the assumption that it has to do with the front bolt or front bolt o-ring. -------------

dude the ball detent is backwards. The gun will
shoot with the barrel off, but not with it on. This has happened to me. Try it put your ball detent in backwards and shoot your gun.

| But the ball detent doesn't have anything to do with your barrel..... |

the ball detent has to do with the barrel. when the detent is in backwards
and you put the barrel on then you fire it jams the front bolt. then it doesn't recock. Enos is right by the front bolt, but it is caused by the ball detent being in backwards and jamming the front bolt. |

| If the ball detent is in backwards, your paint isn't even going to make it out of the gun, barrel or not. I still don't see how the barrel affects whether you chop or not...... |

Rossy who said anything about chopping? You can shoot all you want with
the barrel off and the ball detent in backwards. Paint will come out. With the barrel on it will jam the front bolt by pinching the ball detent between the front bolt and the barrel. Rossy or anyone who dosen't believe me try to prove me wrong. Put the ball detent in backwards and fire your gun. First with the barrel off, then with it on. Peppi242 check your ball detent make sure that it is not in backwards. |
