Breaking Paint in my PM6

[bidstar]

Hi Guys

Breaking a few balls in my PM6 this weekend at high rates of fire.
Done the same before on damp days with different paint that is a good to loose fit in the stock barrel.

Paint was all over bolt and into feedneck of loader so I guess that is a breach break?

Could the reloader be pushing two balls past the detents? they have only seen a few cases of paint.

Any suggestions?

PM6 (stock, 3 months old, all settings stock, LPR at 5 turns)
Reloader B (speed setting 2)
All new battteries

Cheers Guys,

Tim.

check out the thread on cold weather tips for the DM family.

But basically, try upping your dwell to 20, and turn your lpr down .

Hi

As Tricky said, have a glance over the 'cold weather tips..' thread...

I would definately suggest turning your dwell up slightly, this will allow you to lower your LPR presuure a little... dont forget to check the tensions on the bolt o-rings...

Have you tried it with a different loader?

If your detents have worn down i can send you a new set...

Also, really simple.. but, ensure the battery is fresh. There are some unobvious side effects to running your marker on a low battery.

Thanks

Haven't tried a different loader yet.

Battery was new at beginning of day, now reads 9.04V so should be good still.

Detents look good, how worn down is worn out?

Cheers,

Tim.

could just be down to the ultra cold temperatures, i had a burst every 2 games :/

Fair enough,

it was about 5 degrees in the afternoon.

Just don't like breaking paint, ruins my game!

barrel breaks are okay, the proto barrel shoots through, but paint in the breach is messy, paint deosn't go straight and then more breaks until i clean it all out.
