I had an older prianna that i bought of ebay recently. The first time i used it, it worked fun and shot great. Then i tried to play with it and the rear cocking bolt wouldn't stay cocked. I tried a new tank and compressed air. It still did the same thing. I was thinking that it need a new bottom line but i didn't hear a leak at all. I then took it apart and all the O-rings were fine and all the pieces were together. I don't know what the problem is any ideas???

What exactly did you "play" with? So, the bolt doesn`t stay cocked after each shot?

I tried to play paintball, and everytime i shot it wouldn't stay cocked and i would have to recock it. But it shot fine i just need to pull the bolt back everytime

check your sear (the thing that holds the hammer until you pull the trigger, and make sure your trigger frame is screwed in all the way tight and see if that helps

**SCATHED** · February 28th, 03:11 PM

yeah that happened to me once. are you lubing the o-rings? and yeah, what do you mean buy "i played around with it?"

The first time i used it i just shot about 30 balls and it worked fine. then i tried to play an actual game of paintball with it and during the game it just stopped stayin cocked. I will look at the sear and the trigger but if that doesnt work, what else could it be do you think?

**HuNtS** · February 28th, 03:28 PM

i'm almost betting it's the trigger frame being loose, or the sear is really worn...

Ight, Im still kinda of new to the sport, i dont really not a ton about guns, but i do know what a sear is. If it is worn bad can you replace them and if so you think my local paintball shop will have a part to fix it?

**Mescaline** · February 28th, 04:50 PM

depends on how much stuff your local paintball shop carries.
my local proshop has a pmi tech, so i know they would have the part.
but i cant say the same for your shop

I got a Phiranna...im not sure if this will help at all but i was playing a few weeks ago, when i tried to shoot alot in shot periods of times my gun would go full auto with the Co2 (the sound u get when u dont have anymore C02 left) My friends said its probably becuase its so cold out and your shooting to fast, i shot slower and i didnt have to recock at all....maybe thats your problem im not sure but if that helps cool.

I think it's your sear. Some of the fish had a problem with them. It if is the sear call PMI. I bet they will send you one for free. If not tell them you know it's a manufactures defect and that they should send you one.
