Bolt Problem

[FIREisCOOL]

Ok here is my problem, i have a new G7 Fly like 2 weeks old, only been played with once, about 2 cases have been through it. But now w/e i put air into the bolt goes forward and then stays forward, as it pours out air, i think that it is an o-ring on the ram but i have no clue, thx for the help

Ah yes, this problem. You are not alone here, and the good news is that you can fix it. There are two possible causes, and it may be a combination of the two. The first thing is to remove the end cap on the valve side, and drop out the valve stem and seal. Take a look at the part that extends through the valve, where the hammer hits. It probably has a dull surface. You want that to be shiny, or at least smoother than it currently is. You can do it with fine steel wool, or preferably some sandpaper (1000 or 1500 grit should do the trick) If you have a dremel with a polishing wheel, thats another option, and the way I did mine.
Be careful not to rub the seal, it's easy to damage. Once the stem is nice and smooth, put her back together and see how she shoots. If the problem stiff persists, your bolt pin could be a bit too short. Try pullnig it out just a hair with a pair of vise grips, then test the gun out again.

hey srry for the double post, but i just tried holding the bolt back when i first aired up and it worked, does this hurt the gun, or is it fine, thx

Doesn't hurt the gun at all. Having the bolt fly forward when first gassing up is common, just a pressure balancing thing. If you gas the gun up fast, it tends not to do it as much. So long as it doesn't stick forward after that first time, you're set.

ok i had the same problem are you gassing it up fast enough mine did that and i had a smart parts quarter turn bleed on off and it did not gass it up fast enough (you trigga told me this) so i bought a hybrid push butten on off and it now works fine because it gasses it up instanly

SCORE THIS IS MY 100th POAST:drink:
