I recently purchased a LPK and Palmer stab for my Tippmann A-5.

The first 2 dozen or so shots were fine, but it now cycles about 4 or 5 times before recocking after a trigger pull.

I've checked the sear and rear bolt (brand new from the lpk kit), both are not rounded.

I tried putting a few drops of oil in the asa and fireing them through the gun.

Ive tried raising and lowering the pressure on the palmer, from ~300-500 without luck.

What i did find, was if I took the barrel off, and the FVA was flush (full power), it fired fine. If the barrel was put back on (even holding it there without screwing it on) OR the FVA was adjusted in, the problem would re-surface.

So it appears to be a problem with back pressure or something. I have no clue how to fix it, any suggestions would be awesome.
