pm7 velocity issue

[uncle_osiris]

I used my pm7 all weekend at the big game with no issues. In the last 15mins of the game it chops a ball, which has never down since ive owned it in the last 8 months. As I was trying to frantically clean it before the north came, I took the hopper off and noticed the bolt was half forwards. So blocking half of the feedneck. I though no-more of it and called myself out.
Today I cleaned all my gear, relubed the bolt, and aired it up and now there’s literally no velocity. When fire the bolt moves maybe 5mm or less. I cannot hear any air escaping and I have not played with the hpr or lpr. So my question is does anyone have any ideas before I start playing? Could one of the O-rings have gone in either of the regs? Oh just to mention I have changed the battery although I will go and seek another to be double sure.

Cheers,
Paul.

might be a low battery, with the PM marker series sometimes when the battery is low the bolt stick fowards, or it has a sticky bolt, or it shoots ball then automaticly puts the bolt foward thus chopping the ball

Hope this is accurate if not back to the matrix forum to find out

Silly question but, did you change the battery with a "new one?" and a good brand, not a cheap corner shop jobbie

Ok so all sorted now. It seems that when I cleaned the bolt I pushed the allen key into the back of the gun too far and pushed a small piece of plastic forwards. so I pushed it back up into the ?top hat? and velocity has returned .

Cheers again guys,
Paul.
