I have the 2003 Armotech, since changed to Ariakon, SIM-4. After using this only a few times, the bolt won't recock anymore...just shoots 1 ball and I have to manually recock to shoot again. Anyone know what to do? I'm thinking of taking it to the dealer for repair...don't want to waste my time taking it apart.

Several things:

Armotech and Ariakon are not the same company. They never have been.
Ariakon:

Armotech
www.armotech.us

ANYWAY

Replace the O-Rings. If you use oil do not use Hops gun oil Use Gold Cup or another type of paintball oil.

When you take apart the gun (which you will need to do eventually to clean it) the bolt should come out smoothly. If it doesn't it is definately the O-Rings. Change them.

That's my thought. Update after that's been done on whether it worked or not. It should.

I'd reccomend against hoppes or gold cup. They are merely normal synthetic oils with color, and overprices.

You want KC Troublefree oil. You know how when you oil your marker and fire it a few hundred times.. When you open it up its kinda grey and sludgy.

Not with KC Troublefree

EDIT: By the way, if you want to fix your marker, fill up your CO2 tank.

Check over at tactical mods and ask matt about a bolt. That has solved that problem before. His delrin bolts are some of the best out there I have them in my ACP and Sim15
And it makes maintaining the marker just a bit easier

After taking it apart very carefully and really cleaning it well, it shoots awesome now. I think that it just needed to be cleaned but mainly oiled. Thx.
