Well I purchased my phenom like 2 weeks ago. I've played twice with it. Both times probably only shooting 1000 rounds each. Well when I use the E-trigger I some times have to push the trigger forward in order for it to fire when I pull the trigger. It seems to not recognize I am pressing the trigger at times. Can't find a fix nor anyone having the same problem. Maybe I'm not looking in the right place... I don't know.

Any and all help is much appreciated.

Thank you.

when in the auto mod what exactly does it do when you pull the trigger? does the selinoid click or not?

when you take the grip off is the brass fitting that holds the pin tight? if this backs off or the pin gets bent it will not shoot properly.

The solenoid hits when in auto mode. Some times if i turn the gun certain ways it sounds differently but never thought it was the reasoning for my problem. Not sure how to check if the fitting is in enough. The brass fitting is pretty much flush with the gun.

Anything else?

what are you chronoed at? to check if that little fitting is tight pull the pin out with small needle nose pliers, be careful not to bend it. then use a 1/8 allan key to tighten it. The selinoid will sound different if your holding the gun different ways it will be more loud or less. More info would be great to, what does it do exactly when you go to shoot? does it shoot sometimes? do you always have to play around with the trigger?

Sorry for my absence. I don't have internet at the moment. I'm trying to check back when possible.

I chronoed it the other day and it was around 290. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. Mostly now though it doesn't work on the full auto. When I first got it the problem was there slightly but didn't show as much, then it just went away all together. Now it's a big problem and I can't really get it to fire right but maybe a few times. It's not even worth playing with the full auto almost. So yes I have to play with the trigger to get the full auto.

I just checked the pin and the brass fitting. The pin is straight to my eyes. and the brass fitting is tight. If that helps.

could be that something in the trigger frame isnt assembled properly. Give them a call and see what they say.
