i made the mistake of buying a used X7. got some of the problems fixed but the gun wants to fire 5 round burst all the time. i changed the orings on front and rear bolt cleaned twice. checked the power tube for cracks didnt see a crack and the rear bolt doesnt seem to be worn either? any help would be much appreciated as i am clueless.

99% of the time it's going to be the rear bolt & sear when these markers slip to full-auto. Replace them both.

It can be any of the following;

the air tank putting out too low of pressure.
wrong type of oil
remote line restricting air flow
bad rear bolt o-ring
bent linkage arm (links front & rear bolt)
cracked powertube
any aftermarket part
If all else fails call our service dept at 800 533 4831
