Hey guys, what's up? I just bought my new Angel IR3 Fly, and I'm already having trouble with it. After about the first 100-200 shots, the bolt jams up and the gun won't fire. There is a small pop of air coming from the 14 way valve, but the bolt does not fire forward. I opened the breech, removed the bolt, and the gun shot fine. I put the bolt back in, however, and it shot maybe once or twice and stopped working. I think it may have something to do with the breech rod or the knob being on too loose or too tight, because I can pull the rod back and hold the breech down and the gun fires. But once I let the rod go, it takes a crap again. I'm new to angels, and I was just wondering if there was any specific way I should have the breech rod/knob set up and if this is a common problem with angels. If anyone has any advice they can offer, please email me at arcxiv@yahoo.com. I'm leaving for d-day late monday, and I'd hate to leave my new fly at home and take my phantom pump down with me. Like I said, please don't hesitate to drop me a line if you have any idea how to correct this. Thanks -

Make sure your bolt hasn't swollen up. With the breach opened up, slide the bolt back and forth in it, see if it sticks any. If it does, you can sand your bolt down a little with some fine grit sandpaper.
You can also remove your backplate, and pull out the breach knob/rod. With it out, run a q-tip through and check for debris. Just clean out whatever you can see.
