Tac-One Wars, Continued

FlapJackson · 06-05-2009, 10:14 PM

First off, a big thanks to everyone who responded to my first thread. As it turns out, the problem WAS the output pressure from the tank. Tried the marker with a confirmed 850 psi output reg, and it shoots awesome

!

....sort of.

When i get the marker cycling fast, every so often the trigger will just go dead as if there is no air in the gun. A quick "reset" by turning the ASA off and then on again fixes this, but i can easily see this getting old real fast.

The marker has the ULE trigger kit installed and i have not messed with it except to remove and stare at it (much as a gorilla might open the hood of a car and stare blankly at the engine, with zero comprehension).

So, where could the problem lie in this situation? X-Valve, Level 10 bolt tuning, the on/off, or maybe an issue with the sear?

level 10 tuning

you seem to have bolt stick

let try it this way, when you fire it and the trigger go dead, try to push back on the bolt with a squeegee that should reset your trigger back.

now if that is the case let us know, we'll walk you through level 10 tuning.

Yes level 10 issues.

The reason turning off and on works is that as you turn it off, the pressure behind the bolt is dumped and the spring resets it.

You could also try a tougher spring, but I would reccomend tuning the lvl 10

See if tightening or loosening the rear frame screw effects your symptoms.

It sounds like you are using too light of a spring to me. I was having the same exact issue when I first got my tac.
