IR3 bolt sticking forward-but not bolt stick-Please help!

[kiwispike]

Hi guys, just got a new IR3 and everytime I get on the trigger the bolt sticks forward. Kinda like bolt stick but not. as it does it every 20-40 shots and it doesnt piss out gas.

I have checked the LPR is 85PSI, tried adjusting the dwell its set at 14, input pressure is at 700PSI and Im using a AIR

I need to fix this before a tournament this weekend :( where I live theres bugger all support for angels.

Any ideas would be awesome!

Next step would be to adjust your snap ring. Remove your backplate, then use an allen to turn the screw in the lower right hand tube (looking at the back of the marker) clockwise, until the gun only clicks when you pull the trigger. then go back 1/4 of a turn. If that doesn't work, pull your ram out, and inspect it for chipped or torn orings. give it a coat of dow 33, or love grease, and put it back in. That should get you good to go. Only other thing would be the gasket under the 14 way, but I've never looked at it myself, so I'm not gonna be able to give you a walk through on that.

yea i think you ram needs to be adjusted, look in the manual if there's a description for it, wait for a second opinion though as i'm no angel expert yet

I had this problem just yesterday. All u need to do is mess around with the dwell untill it stops sticking, and make sure everything is lubed and everything

oh and u could turn your LPR up to 95. but mostly i think its just the dwell.

well im not sure but you might have ur ball detent in too much stopin the bolt in the foward position try to loosen it and fire the gun.

Your LPR is a little low, IR3's run higher than LCD's, around 90-95 psi, that may or may not be your problem. Try what everyone else said, ball detent, snap ring, ram in that order.

Thats what I was thinking.

Check your bolt for signs and marks as if this is the case the ball dent will/may lave some marks??:doh:
