the gun has a 14 inch sniper barrel,collapsible stock, double trigger, r/t, cyclone feeder, and the tippmann upgraded r/t and feeder lines. the problem is the damn r/t keeps chopping balls. ive tried tuning it, my shops tried tuning it even tippmann has. it came back and it worked fine once then went back to the same thing chopping balls. ive tried 4 diff types of quality paint and same thing. what do i do? ------------- A-5 E-Grip QEV Polished Internals 48CU Compressed Air In The Mail: Lapco 14" Bigshot Shocktec Supafly Bolt |

this might sound weird, but could it be caused from the stock? when my gun came back from tippmann it didnt have the stock and i put it back on then shortly after it started doing it again. ------------- A-5 E-Grip QEV Polished Internals 48CU Compressed Air In The Mail: Lapco 14" Bigshot Shocktec Supafly Bolt |

it can't be the r/t and i can't see how the heck a stock would make a difference... Check the cyclone ratchet.

chances are, the cyclone isn't feeding quickly enough. like RavenGuard said, check the ratchet. also make sure the ball detent(little orange rubber thing) isn't in backwards. is there paint in the barrel? or in the cyclone itself? if it's just in the barrel, then it has nothing to do with the cyclone. if the cyclone has paint in it, you may have chopped one, or used bad paint. ------------- 98 Custom milled;painted;J&J Ceramic;X-Chamber;R/T;Cyclone. |

well i know for sure that the detent is in right and that the cyclone is spinning and it has no paint in it. could it be the r/t trigger banjo adjustment? ------------- A-5 E-Grip QEV Polished Internals 48CU Compressed Air In The Mail: Lapco 14" Bigshot Shocktec Supafly Bolt |

^ Also check for burrs on the inside of the barrel. Check for sharp parts on the bolt (dont know how they would get there, but hey, it could happen). ------------- CPro (w/ polished internals) 14" Bigshot BT SBS Various Rails NcSTAR D4B Macro AA 68/45
