Air coming out the breech

[Duracell]

When I was playing this weekend I noticed that there was air coming out of the small cracks in between the gun and the breach which gave my gun a sort of blow back which was kinda messing up my rapid fire shots (It wasn’t like a huge amount coming out, like as if the breech ring was broken; but enough to mess up my shots). I was asking around, and no one could really tell me what's up. So naturally, does any one know what I can do to fix this?

Only when I shoot

The air you are felling And heraing may be the normal amount of air that escapes around the bolt as the exhaust valve sends the higher preasure air into the bolt to shoot the ball.

It may also be the breach to receiver O-ring doesnt fit as tight as it could. If this is the case i would just ignore it.

I dont understand though how this air is slowing up your ROF because the exhausting air is over with when the bolt retracts and another ball drops into the receiver to be fired.....Chuck

I noticed a "puff" of air as described while shooting my IR3. It does not happen with my LCD... Check the gap between the front of the breach and the reciever. I adjusted the pins/screws that hold the breach in place...backing out the front screw a bit allows the breach clearance in front to be tighter and then snugging the rear screw to suit...

Its not messing up my rof, its messing up my accuracy on those rapid fire shots.

Just replace the Breech O-Ring and put some grease on it to seal it up all nice.. that wil solve your problem.
