ego7 detent problem

[Polly]

simply put my ego keeps chopping detents, have oiled orings and detent slot on bolt but doesnt seem to help.
have gone through 3 detents in a few months, one was brand new in for this weekend and was chopped when i got home sunday evening
not a major problem its just annoying.
Any ideas?

What bolt are you using?
Are you using 06/07 detents (rather than 05 ones)?
Are your eye covers tight?

 

[ION_CRAZY]

what kind of paint are you using, or reballs, you could buy some harder detents like Kila

 

[Polly]

using standard 07 cure bolt, eye covers on tight, correct 06/07 detents that came with the gun, no reballs just paint

tis confusing

 

[Skeet]

Whats actually happening to the detents?

Shooting them out or breaking them?

 

[Polly]

breaking them, just chopping/tearing/smashing them
no rough bits on the bolt either, all is smooth as new

What barrel are you using?

Just thinking out loud...not even sure if teh detents are close enough to teh barrel, but if its noit smooth inside...maybe the bolt is cutting them into teh barrel...cant be arsed to look at my gun/

 

[Polly]

haha just using the shaft 2 but barrel isnt close enough to effect detents

 

[richardp]

you're not pushing a fluffy all the way through are you?

are all the detents out of the same pack? could be you have just got a dud batch.

detents weren't left in the sun, radiator, near heat source? just thinking you may have dried the rubber slightly......
