Dragun/Spyder/E-Rex problem

[EyeFellOva]

Right, I've got a Dragunfire Bottomline LCD that's got a few issues.

It's a spyder/e-rex pro clone so there's nothing specific to it.

The problem is that it wont re-cock. When you press the trigger it does the machine gun bit for a few seconds then needs re-cocking.

Is this the o-rings on the bolt?

Also, has anyone got any o-rings for this type of marker? Or know where I can get some?

Cheers!

Ive got one of those E-rex'es as a back up marker,

Ive only had that problem when that gas i was using was low, thus not giving enought output pressure (psi) OR when it was cold in the winter, and i was using Co2 it would jst not cock properly.

But other then that im not sure m8,

What are u running the marker on? Co2? Air? Also u said Machine gun bit, as in it goes full auto?

That will it exactly there isnt enough pressure to re cock the marker so it fires with all or majority of the pressure but theres not enough to push the hammer back to click the sear

What air source you using??

 

[EyeFellOva]

As in it farts a few times then needs re-cocking

It usually runs on CO2 (which is full) but it kinda stopped working properly after I put a HP air system on it

try Warming your co2 bottle a little in a bucket harm-hot water - that will change the liquid co2 into gas increasing the pressure - see how that goes

 

[EyeFellOva]

It's definately not the pressure. I've just tried it with my adjustable reg and it would only just recock at very high pressures.

Is there anywhere that sells spyder spares kits?

search google for Havoc Paintball - aint heard from them in donkeys but they were really well known for spyder/parts etc about 3 years back

Nice one mate, cheers

Havoc or even Planet do spyder bits.

Sounds like you need to strip and clean/oil those o-rings to me. Remember, it's the gas that pushes the bolt back - so if there's a little bit of shell in there - it'll stick unless at high pressure.

You must make sure it is the correct hammer o ring or it will cause enough drag to de-cock it,also if you are running co2 in the cold try removing the filter stone in the bottom line it allows far better gas flow to re-cock it properly.
If the filter stone isi full of crap, oil, dirt, , it wont work too hot even if you try different regs air/co2 it wont make a difference if the stone is gunked up.

...if it has a ball in the breach...the back pressure, along with the markers pressure, may be enough to recock it.in other words you must have a ball in the breach, if you dont want to waste paint bung a fluffy stick up the barrel to the begining of the feed neck and cover the feedneck and fire - thus making it blow back the bolt,

whats your address and i shall post some o rings out to you
