IR3 Problems

[NEtrauma_Travis]

This wekend i was playing the Mac. And my gun was shoot so nice i mean i like wanted to spooge, so i was middle finguring the trigger going pretty fast right and then the bolt stuck forward and like air was pissing out so i shove a battle swab up in there and shoved the bolt back up, then later on in the day the same thing happened accept without the leaking. Also it was wet out and very muddy so i dont know it that could affect anything. Can someon tell me what this is?

Were you low on air?

Was there any debris stuck in the breech area?

[Vantage_TeS]

Most likely there was a piece of paint stuck between the bolt and the chamber wall. If the bolt is stuck far enough forward, the hammer will be pushing on the valve causing that leak. The second time it happened it prolly wasn't as far forwards, hence no leak.

like vantage said, it happens sometimes when you chop

Sure sounds like it. Probalby had some debris on a ball from a reload that got left behind the second time and finally snagged the bolt.

... Nevermind

[NEtrauma_Travis]

i dont think that was it because i didn't chop any other reasons it may have done this

make sure your ball detent isnt screwed on overly tight, and also that your feedneck hasnt threaded past the threads (unlikely but i've heard of it happening once)

also, you didnt lube your bolt did you? that might have caused it to swell which might cause this

[NEtrauma_Travis]

Ya i did put sum love juice on the bolt.... And would not having that o-ring under the breach cause anything to go wrong like catching the top and stuff? because i had lost mine that day and i had to play without it.

Ok delrin swells when you put oil on it. That might be the problem. Take the bolt out and let it sit for 24 hours and see if it still gives you trouble. The no oring doesnt matter, since Ken Crane himself said its more of a bumper (buffer) then a seal.

the bolt is swollen from oil. If you geting mud or dirt you can see it on the bolt and will scratch walls.

You might want to get replacement of the breech o-ring cuz it will leak air out.

yea it leaks quite a bit of air out of there without the seal, that reminds me, i need to go grab some superglue to replace mine! :)

Sounds like we might have discovered at least part of the problem.

maybee you didn'tget everything out of the breech, or you are hella low on air.
