paint spinning out of control

[DRAGONPHX3]

paint quality is very important, but what causes a good brand to spin out of control. I always play with a clean barrel & I have been having this probelm w/ paint chopping. wich was solved with a few adjustments, but i still get out of contral balls. any body know? :angry:

high velocity?

WHAT IF YOUR ONLY SHOTING 280PSI.? THANKS

Well do you have a good bore match? I am not sure what kind of paint you use, but make sure that it fits into your barrel nicley. IF they dont match well that could cause paint to spin out of control. You said you are shooting around 280 so it is not your velocity. My only guess would either be a bad batch of paint (which does occur, I got a §§§§ed up case of Blaze last tourney) if it is not the paint then i would say it is your barrel. What kind of barrel do you use?

[DRAGONPHX3]

jt 2 piece. w/ .690 bore size. my led does'nt like blaze i have been using evel. it works geat, same with rps premium.

thanks

DUDE I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT BRAND BOLD BUT I DO KNOW THAT IT IS HOUR GLASS SHAPED. & I LIKE THE ORANGE EVIL. I THINK I MIGHT NEED I NEW BOLT CAUSE MY OLD ONE HAS ALOT OF WEAR

Check all your o-rings and make sure everything in the breech is clean and such, make sure the little set O-ring in on the breech door is there also if its missing your in a world of hurt

hey Matt where is this o ring on the breach door you speak of go?
in the door between the bolt?

thanks

[Sir Dies-Alot]

Its actually on the door (when it opens the O-ring swigs out/ connected to the door) its pressed into a recessed groove using pressure when its in the factory and they are a b-word to replace. If thats missing you wont get a good seal on the valve and it can cause the problems of which you speak.

i'm no expert, but the things i would look at first are everything that makes contact with the ball, make sure there's not any kind of residue or fluid, etc that could get onto the paintball and cause it to be weighted more to one side before its fired...check to make sure that your hopper and hopper feed neck is clean, id say check out your pods too, something could be getting on the paintballs while they're inside the pods... make sure the breech and the barrel are clean, if all of those bases are covered, you might want to give a new ball detent a shot, because if your ball detent is sticking and not retracting, that could cause both dimpled paint and spin...make sure that nothing contaminated the paint... try the blow test to see if the bore match is good enough, make sure the bolt is clean (assuming that you have a stock bolt or something of a similar nature) because if like 2 or 3 of the top holes are blocked up with paint or something and the bottom ones are all clean...that could cause spin, this may not solve your problem, but it couldn't hurt to give it all a shot

chek the barrel out aswell. If u have dropped it sumthing there might b dents and §§§§ at the ends or inside. I had that hapen once with this dudes spyder.....couldnt hit §§§§.

How do you get a HALO to work with the LED ???:doh:

[DRAGONPHX3]

What exactly is the blow test. cause the paint droped in my jt 2 piece .690 has to be forced out. my bolt has some wear wear the ball detent hits it it's got a good groove on it. is it still usable?
at first i chopped now paint is spinning out of control. I clean the hell out of it after ever game, and ever game i bust a ball. Its just a matter of when cause for me its gonna happen:doh:

[thedeem0n]

Might be something like the LPR pressure, if thats set too high, it could cause the balls to spin, i suppose its the same with the ram stroke, if its set too far forward, it could be causing the valve to stay open too long, but thats all related to high velocity, so if you're chronoing it in at somewhere near 300, that shouldnt be the issue. the blow test is when you drop a painball into your barrel, and if you can blow it out, then your paint is well matched, if your paint has to be forced out, then its too big, that could cause some loss of velocity, a little damage to the barrel, and more ball breaks, if the paint rolls right through the barrel, then it is too small, in that case, your accuracy, and your velocity will suffer...so try to get paint that you can blow out of the barrel, this is why people buy systems like the freak, because its too hard to find a kind of paint everytime that will match your barrel's bore...not all cases of paint are consistent from batch-to-batch...my guess would be that its something like uneven air-flow through the holes on the venturi bolt, or that something is contaminating your paint somewhere along the line, but im not covering all the bases there...just make sure that everything that a paintball touches, between the time it leave the bag until the time it leaves the barrel is clean, that includes pods, hoppers, vertical feeds, bolts, breeches, and your barrel....now if you start matching the paint better, and your velocity is still reasonable, then you have a problem...in which i cant answer...

[DRAGONPHX3]

That all seems logical thanks, but i took that sh*%t in. I guess that I'll pay someone to understand all of that lpr& ram stoke. I just shoot them. I dont fix em.

Thanks

Sir dies alot was totaly right. I am missing a breach o ring & it sucks alot. When i get one does any body know how to install it to make it stay for good

[Sir Dies-Alot]

Glad I could be of assistance, I have never actually replaced my own, however i have heard they just need to be shown the whos who to get them in cause they are originally factory placed.
