I can't open my breech!

[Fishsticks]

Hey everybody,

I've conducted a search to no avail, if there have been previous threads on this issue please refer me to them. I just received my Speed and am having trouble opening the roto-breech. I pull the breech pin all the way back so that it clears the hole in the back of the breech, and I can move the roto-breech about 1 or 2 mm. After that, I cannot pull the roto-breech out any further, it makes a metallic clinking noise as if the bolt pin is hitting something. I know that the bolt is not sticking out too far because the roto-breech will still rotate 1 or 2mm.

What do I do? Please let me know, Thanks.

Push a squeegie down there and push the bolt back.

[velvetunderground]

yeah what Jedrith the raging New Jersian said

[Jedrith]

Wha? How does that make me 'raging'?

[Fishsticks]

Oh my, now I feel really stupid.

That solved the problem, thanks.

[Jedrith]

BooYaah I am the man....Ok. *Goes back into seclusion till the next LCD problem occurs(Which will be in like 3 weeks because everyone has speeds and they have lost of problems) *

[Fishsticks]

Oh wait, I have to push the bolt back every time to open the breech, this isn't too practical for use at the field... what do I do now?

[velvetunderground]

are you sure your getting enough air into the Speed to make the bolt make a full movement? that could be a problem and Jedrith I just had to say that sorry.

[Emmit]

Fishsticks......you should only have to push the bolt back if you've degassed the marker. Sometimes when you degas the marker the last shot leaves the hammer a little forward which means the bolt is also a little forward instead of fully seated to the back. This is what prevents you from opening the breech. However when you've got air on the marker everything is in a fully seated position ready to fire and this allows you to open the breech anytime you want.

Clear up the confusion?

[Jedrith]

Or your ram stroke is a little off. Anyway check the forum thats this is in, its LCD not speed.

[Emmit]

it's in the Speed section......either you're seeing things or someone moved it......I didn't so it musta been someone else.

[Jedrith]

It was in the LCD section.

[Fishsticks]

Nah, I posted it in the Speed section. Anyhow, it opens now, thanks for the suggestions guys.

A few more things:

- Emmit, can you take pics of what you did with the sticky tac? I'd like to see it.

- What are the threads for the holes on the bottom of the grip frame (The place where you mount your drop forward/rail), the screws from my Cocker and Viking will only screw in for half a turn or so, and I don't want to damage the threads.

I'll post more questions as I get them, thanks guys!

The threads of the screw are too big.

You don't need sticky tack to get rid of that tape, just take knife and trim a small amount off, and then you won't see it sticking out.

ummm check the ram stroke and adjust it accordingly because my ir3 had the same problem with the r-11 bolt... fix this up and you'll like never have to pudh it back by hand again...or squeege

that happened with my gun too in the store its not a big deal
