I recently got a new silver 98 custom with the anti chop technology and the only problem i have with it is shooting. When i try to shoot the only thing that happens is that it shoots out the co2 similar to what happens when you are low on co2 but it happens for 3 to 4x longer. I've wasted a good 30 oz. on this and i can't seem to fix it myself. Your input on what i should do is greatly appreciated. Believe me i am willing to try anything.

Thanks

To me it sounds like the marker isnt staying cocked. I dont own a 98 with ACT but Id say your problem is either with your sear being worn down, the input pressue being too low (which I doubt since your using CO2). Just my thoughts any one else wanna give it a go.

If you purchased it recently and have'nt taken it apart yet I'd take it back and exchange it before you try to fix it yourself. If you have already opened it up I'd go in again and double check everything.
