And when you do that, look for oblong paint too. Egg shaped paint will mess with you like that. One in a hundred will land in the breach just right and slip straight through the detents.

I used to have this problem as a result of my detentes getting stuck occasionally. It seemed to work itself out as the detentes wore in a bit and snapped back in place quicker.

I had that too, on a Lasoya PM. I couldn't remember if regular PMs have the spring loaded detents. I rub a little lube on those springs and caps and check them inside the breech after it is all back together. Those detents are sneaky.

Okay so the paint I was using was a little irregular so that could be it. I gotta get some fresh Winter stuff any ways. I'll clean the eyes out again and make sure the detents get some lovin' and see what happens from there. Thanks guys

I had to lightly sand down the outside of a freestyle detent so that it would go move freely. Freestyle and PM detents are the same. Push on the detent with your finger to see if it moves freely.
