Angel A1 leaking air.

[MZQ]

I was playing the other week and half way through the day it decided to leak the problem as far as i can see is that once it fires one ball the bolt gets stuck forward and just leaks air, ive tried oiling it up before using it but it still happens.
i think the internals may get stuck forward abit too?
I sent it off to Angel when i first got the gun and they replaced the part inside the gun but i do not know if it was put in correctly as it seems loose.
Any help? Thanks in advance, James

Where abouts do you play? Both me and a teammate have Angels, and will help in person if you are local to us. It is hard to solve issues over the internet without actually seeing it myself aha

I'm assuming you have already done the normal things such as dwell/velocity/ABS% settings. Also which board is it?

When was the last time the breech seal was replaced? sometimes it can get unstuck and cause the bolt to stick

 

[MZQ]

From S****horpe- North lincolnshire
Standard board and not checked them
And I havent replaced it and ive had it for about 2 years.

What state are your detents? When i had one , this used to happen if the detents were on their way out and the bolt would go past them and get stuck

I have no idea, it was fine till now no major leak i only sent it away for a tiny leak

or someone has shot it without the rotabrech pin being in properly, slams open the breech against the side of the body and bends the hinge pin causing bolt stick, check for a ding in the anno on the side of the gun where breech would touch. Make sure your bolt slides smooth in the breech too

The thing that seems to be loose is likely the hammer/piston assembly, its meant to be that loose and slide back and forth if you tip the gun with the bolt out
