bolt sticking

[McLean]

For some reason my bolt has begun to stick in the forward position durring high rates of fire (ramping) is it possible i need to add one more shim to the lpr now that the gun is past the break-in period to get the pressure up two more pounds to stop this from happening.

the only issues with bolt sticking i've had were caused by extremocheepo field paint. the only way I found around it was to reset the bolt with a squeege..

Two LPR pounds is just fine tuning. You may never see the difference.

So you're ramping up and it stops firing? You have to force the bolt back into the rear position with a swab or something?
Unless you are getting foreign objects into the breech or (unlikely) into the area in front of the ram, I can't think why the bolt could be sticking forward. I don't think the detents could be strong enough (unless they are hanging out into breech incorrectly) to stop the bolt/ram from travelling backwards. Hmmmm....

What settings are you using (LPR, minireg, dwell, software version, etc)?

ken set up the gun with 1.8, as well as the rage, jd settings

couple of simple things to do first. 1 make sure you have oiled the gun and gotten the oil as far as the exaust hole by seing a streak of oil get to the bolt. increase the dwell to 7. and make sure your lpr is at 55-60. no exceptions there. report back asap ken

i've been though 3 bolts now ....bolt pin keeps working it self loose. i sent it to bob @fma once...sent about a case of paint though it and the bolt stick is back. not sure whats going on with my a1?

Have you messed with the tightness of the breech guide rod? If they are over tightened it can cause your bolt to stick.

My bolt was sticking bad as well, but I loosened the roto breech and no more bolt stick.
