Automag Trigger Problem

rathbaster · 02-18-2008, 04:25 PM

I have an automag with an RT Valve, a level 10 kit installed and an intelliframe.

When I touch the trigger ever so lightly, it starts rapid firing, like a response trigger turned all the way up. A firm pull on the trigger fires only a single shot.

I am not experienced with mags and have no idea why this is happening. I'm trying to sell this gun and the current interested individual wants to know how hard this is to fix. I used up the rest of my air today while trying to figure this out

There's a picture of the setup in this thread:
Mag RT pro - 68 special + siphon and 2 Sentinels w/bottom lines

Any help is appreciated.

A worn or incorrect on/off pin may be the culprit. If it is, it's a $10.00 fix pretty much.

If you have a ULT on/off kit in there, there may be too many shims also.

Also make sure that when the trigger is fully forward there is a 1/16" gap between the back of the trigger and the trigger rod.

I'm a classic mag guy, but I thought one could not put the ULT on a RT, just X-valved guns. Of course, i've never taken the time to try to understand the differences between a RT or RT Pro.

I would look at the on/off as Robertsr suggests. Pics or the valve area would help. Hard to tell in your b/s/t thread.

EDIT

Reviewing your B/S/T thread, isn't this a RT Classic rather than a RT pro you listed? Again, I could be wrong, never spent much time trying to learn the differences.

Just looked again, and definitely a classic RT with the air routing. Why they ever did that routing is beyond me, just caused more problems than it may have solved.

that is definitely an original RT.

I had the same problem with my RT Classic. I ended up adjusting the length of the sear trigger pin. You can either screw it in or out. That solved my touchy full auto problem. If it works, its free.

if there is no play in the trigger when aired up the trigger rod is to far out. there should be about 1/32 - 1/16 of slop in the trigger when the marker is aired up.
