Anyone mind giving a little tech help at Tunaball?

VVulfe · 05-15-2008, 01:16 PM

Hey all,

I'll be at Tunaball this Saturday. One of my teammates recently acquired a used 'mag which refuses to behave. When the trigger's pulled, the bolt "sticks" halfway through the cycle.

Would anyone who's going to be at Tunaball mind taking a look at it and letting me know what's wrong?

The gun (at least, according to the seller) has:

-ULE Body
-68 Classic Valve
-Level 10 Bolt

Thanks in advance, guys!

Is it the one morph just bought?

Well, I won't be at Tunaball (this year anyway...), but try checking the following:
> Make sure the frame screw isn't too tight.
> Try changing the level 10 carrier to the next size larger.
> Check for weak bolt spring (probably unlikely, but you never know).

I bet if Tuna is there he would take a look at if for you. There is no one I'd rather have look at my mag than Tuna. MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM Tuna.

I'll pass this info on. Knowing nothing about 'mags...what's a level 10 carrier, and where would I find a larger one?

Should I check with the man by email before I show up and start thrusting broken 'mags at him?

He'll be there. You will never see him happier than when he's smoozing with people and fixing mags.

I'll be at Tunaball tomorrow.

I'll take a look.

More than likely it is an over-tightened field strip screw or warped rail (set it on something flat like a mirror or glass and look for light beneath it).

See you there!

Thank you!
