ATS Trouble: Need QUICK FIX!

hehe, sorry for the caps guys, know how much ya'll protest it.

At any rate, I have an AT-10 / 85 and I have had some trouble with the balls breaking in the gun (rare thing). So I checked all my mags, indexed them, and everything per manual.

So I take the gun down, and notice the Bolt O-Ring is blown, ok, thats the problem. So I replaced it.

I just aired up the gun tonight, and IT ATE MY NEW O-RING . I only have 1 Bolt ring left. So before I replace it, what is eating it up? There are no burrs, sleeve pad is still good. What glue do I use on the O-Ring? I used superglue and ATV silicon.

I need a quick fix before 0930 central time on December 2nd. I am having an important game tomorrow.

Cheers!

Its doesnt hurt the velocity? I got the gun in 03' and the original ring was on there since then, up until a couple months ago. I even put about 5k rounds throught it as well. Its not that the ring is coming off, its getting shredded.

Perhaps whatever is shredding the oring is also shredding your paint. Check for burrs in the breach area.

We're burr free here. I just took it apart, and noticed the pin on the COG is out. I will just have to order a new cog.

What do you use to glue the bolt o-ring on with?

Walker, thanks for that link, it was a big help!

Also, on the metal guide spring on the outside, it is pretty sharp. How do I "bend it down"? Do I curl it down or bend it right / left?

Sharp! Yikes! That could be a problem....

Here's what one of mine looks like. The edge is curled...

Walker, thanks for the picture!

Is the metal supposed to be flush with the top of the plastic? The metal on both my mags are about 3/16th an inch ABOVE.

Thanks!
