Help!?!?

[ry_dogg68]

I have a problem? Here is the dealio:
I put some oil in my a.s.a. to lube up the gun. I took the bolt out and fired it a bunch of times (man, its freakin loud!). Anyway, when I put the bolt back in and closed the breech it won't fire. It just makes the "plop" sound, but wont push the bolt forward? Whats up??? It seems like my breech opens a little stiffer too now. Could dry firing with it open have screwed something up?
....Gosh!....Freakin idiot! why'd I have to mess up my new baby!

Also, one side of my eye's has gone out? does this happen very often? and how much are they to replace generally?

Thanks!

Only one side of the eyes lights up. The other sides sees the light so there is probably nothing wrong with your eyes.

When you try to fire it with the bolt in is the back lever turned all the way to the left to lock the breech block down? Are you sure that you have air going into the G7? I know, silly questions, but just checking to be sure.

Also, when you take the bolt back out, does it fire OK then?

Yeah, but the eyes are not passing the eye test? I am not sure why? Next...yeah, it shot fine with out the bolt. and with the breech open. Then when I put the bolt in and clamped the breech, it wont shoot. I took the bolt back out and it started shooting again? I'm stumped. I started adjusting the inline reg to see if it maybe just wasnt getting enough pressure, but no good.

If you breech block now has a harder time closing, it almost sounds like the alignment is off and it doesn't allow the bolt to go forward.

When you put the bolt in and then turn the lever, can you see it go forward when you look down into the feedneck?

[Trigga Nometry]

Are you doing the eye test with the bolt in the G7 and with the bolt forward?

Can you measure the length of your bolt pin for me?

[ry_dogg68]

here is what I have concluded. Yes Trigga the breech is off center. I think what has happened is the rod that it hinges on has been bent somehow. So the bolt pin is now being stopped by the gun body, thus no letting it move forward. Any suggestions on how I can fix it?

What I really need to know is how I can get the rod out? I have taken off the back plate and both the front and back set screws. Do I just need to punch it out?

Thanks for the help. Hopefully this doesnt happend to anyones guns. Its pretty gay!
