Over the winter I installed a Rap4 double trigger and a tippmann six position sliding stock into my 98 platinum. I tested it after i installed the parts and everything worked when I installed it, but when I went out to play some woodsball last weekend and my bolt wouldn't cock back all the way when I shot. The few games I played I had to pull the bolt back by hand after everyshot. I spent a majority of the time running back and forth to my house trying to figure out what was wrong with my gun. I ended up putting all my stock parts back in and playing like that and it worked just fine. I got it out the day after and put the parts back in and it worked, any ideas why it did this or does my gun just hate me?

most of the time the ball detent is the cause of this being in backwards. if it happens again take one side of the marker off and take a picture of the internals an put the up here so we can diagnosis the problem. good luck hope it keeps working fine.

try installing and using each item seperately. You will find out which of the two is the problem. If they both work fine independently, maybe the combination of the two is your problem.

*edit: I would guess the stock is causing problems, but that is just a shot in the dark
