Ok, let me start off by saying this: i'm an idiot :loser:. My first gun may have been a mag, and out of all the 4 guns i have, they are all mags, but i'm still in idiot when it comes to mags. excuse my bad english and obvious statements.
Just got Jay's new pump kit, and i must say, it was really well made. the wait made me very anxious, and when i got it, all i had were problems. so, this is what happened:
When not working well:
I threw it onto my pump milled ULE body and rail (by Rainman), pumped it a few times to see how it was, and it was smooth as butter. Aired up the gun, but it wouldnt shoot... turns out i was suppose to cut the blue bumper so it fits into the hole of the wave spring, rather then sticking the whole bumper in it. got that done ( i think), but the pumping was sticky. i cleaned the kit down and got rid of all the metal scraps and dirt, then oiled every part that has metal on metal friction; brought out my gold cup, oiled the pump rod (especially the area at the end where it hits the bolt), the pump spacer, and the milling of the body and rail. aired the gun up again, but the pumping was only a bit smoother :wall::wall:. it would pump very smooth until it hit the bolt - the handle would just stick:

^^ stuck when pumped all the way back
when the handle didnt stick, i knew the bolt wasnt pushed back. when it did stick, i'd have to force it forward, but i knew the bolt was pushed back. whats up?
When it is sort of working:
When the bolt actually gets pushed back, i'm able to hear a leaking inside the valve. on my pistol mag, i get around 20 shots off a 12 gram. on my pump mag, i get around 15 shots. i believe the leak is causing this decrease in shots. is my powertube spacer too large? i read somewhere that i should grab a powertube spacer kit, but i dont know the purpose of getting one...
when shooting a mini hopper of balls, nearly 70% got chopped - talk about a paint blender :minigun:. i'm shooting very slow, and even with a foamie bolt. the paint is around 5 months old (moved around once a week and in room temperature), but it doesn't chop in my pistol mag, which uses the hard nose level 7 bolt. why is this?
problems problems problems... it's been pretty frustrating, and i've gotten to the point of just selling this nightmare and grabbing a phantom. but i dont want that to happen :(.
