Hi

I was using my DM3 for the first time 'in anger' yesterday and came up against an annoying problem, the bolt was sticking as I tried to get the FPS above 260fps, around 240-250 it was fine but would stick forward after one shot above 260.

Any suggestions on what could be the problem, it has a dye LPR and a gold evolve bolt.

P.S. anyone who knows a thing or two about a Matrix Gen-e (LED/LCD) give me a shout as I have an air leak on this that I'm stuck on solving...

I would say reset your regs.

Which Dye LPR you have on there? Silver capped one, or the small black one?

The silver capped ones were notoriously Cr*p, the small black one was a ripoff of the AKA SCM2, and was self balancing so input pressure shouldn't effect it.

Have you tried to dial out the LPR? if the solenoid is over pressurised the bolt will stick forward.

It has the small black LPR (stock one) and stock inline which I believe was a hyper2 on the Dm3.

Can you clarify dialling out the lpr?

I'm used to a angel with angel air which is a piece of p!ss to set up, this one is a little more complex...
