For some odd reason my A-5 doesnt cock. When i pull the bolt back it doesnt lock back and when i squeeze the trigger it doesnt fire. I looked at the schematics and everything is assembled correctly. The O-Rings are all intact.
When i hook the air up to the system, theres no leaking noise, and dew forms on the tombstone adapter, indicating that air is going through the hose. Any ideas?  ------------- Tippmann A-5 12" AA barrell w/ cocker threads 7" DOP drop forward Macroline kit |

yup im an idiot. Here's what the problem was:
1) I had replaced the long trigger spring with the short for a quicker trigger pull 2) i failed to replace the short spring to the rear trigger plate spacer. This meant the sear wasn't catching the rear bolt So yeah...if you have this similar problem...yeah. Admin remove this if this is too n00b Thanks! ------------- Tippmann A-5 12" AA barrell w/ cocker threads 7" DOP drop forward Macroline kit |
