ok...both my spyder Xtra and my brother's Tippmann custom pro aint working...the bolt does not cock back..so you have to cock it every time you shoot any help?

**SCATHED** · November 17th, 05:00 PM

it is probally your sear not catching.

***dogfishslayer*** · November 17th, 05:19 PM

If you take out the entire bolt setup, you will find the hammer (the silver piece with a hole and a notch on top.) On that piece, there is a flat part on top. The notch on it catches the trigger when you pull the knob back, and when you pull the trigger, it releases the notch, or as in the other post, the sear. The notch is probably so worn down that the sear just slips right. To fix this, you are going to need a new part. (you can get them for like $10)
P.S. Oil your gun, that will probably help too!

Both the spyder and the tippmann are doing it?

And if you cock it by hand each shot, it works?

...Do you have a full CO2 or air tank?

ConverseSmurf · November 17th, 06:43 PM

Yea..and co2

**BourneKiller** · November 17th, 06:53 PM

If both aren't working, I'd say make sure your tank is full.

A good cleaning and oiling couldn't hurt, either

ConverseSmurf · November 17th, 06:55 PM

it's oiled and we just got the 9 oz filled today

**ArmoArchangel** · November 17th, 07:13 PM

velocity?

**SCATHED** · November 17th, 07:19 PM

seriously, check your sear

ConverseSmurf · November 17th, 07:21 PM

all the way up

**paintballkid320** · November 17th, 07:58 PM

try turning it down and then try it
with my old tippy if the velocity was too high it wouldnt cock so i had to turn the velocity down

***martix_agent*** · November 17th, 08:47 PM

it's cold outside and co2 doesn't expand nearly as well when it's cold outside.

so therefore, turn up your velocity

He said it's all the way up, though, so he probably needs to turn it down SOME because of the reasons stated above.

mmkm lets hope it works

***dogfishslayer*** · November 18th, 10:22 AM

I'm telling you, the sear is probably worn out. This happened to my Piranha, and I just oiled it up, and got a new hammer, and now it works like a charm.

There is no such thing as "sear o-rings". The sear is a mechanical part of the trigger group and doesn't need to seal on anything.

ConverseSmurf · November 18th, 12:27 PM

Ok It's All good The Spyder is fixed we just took it all apart and cleaned every little place that was dirty and it's working fine

**ArmoArchangel** · November 18th, 02:45 PM

Wait, failing to maintain your equipment causes your equipment to fail? Wow I never knew that.

**SCATHED** · November 18th, 05:05 PM

yes, always make sure to take care of you equipment. If you take care of it, it will take care of you.
