updated shocker question: bolt or reg?

Okay here is what the problem is:

"Okay i have an urgent problem. Someone please help by answering some questions about the SP Shocker. Okay my friend recently bought a shocker, and when he put air on the gun, when he fired the bolt got stuck in the forward position. Because of this, air was pouring out of the bolt uncontrollably.

the bolt got stuck in the forward position whenever he cycled the gun, but he could push it back and the air leak would stop. The bolt was taken out and wiped down thoroughly because he thought it was lube that was making it stick. He started it up and same problem. He applied Shocker Lube and started it up, and the bolt still got stuck in the forward position. The local paintball shop tinkered with the bolt a bit, and he thought the problem was solved..

OK next day we go paintballing and he goes out 1st game and his 3000psi tank empties in the one game. Hm... the gun appears to leak every time he fires. At our field there is a shocker tech guy and he tinkers with the dwell and reg a bit... tries it and it starts up again with the bolt sticking in the forward position. We have no idea what to do. The tech guy is like "just shoot it a bunch and break in the board." That is the stupidest advice I have ever heard of. We have looked for O rings that are broken and we can't find anything wrong. This gun is completely stock bought yesterday. what is wrong and what can we do to fix this problem?"

OK, after reading the website thing... I think it could be the bolt... but the guy at the paintball shop that I talked to said that it is probably the regulator. Which is it or is it both? Is the evolve kit better than the high efficiency SP kit? A guy told me that evolve kits arent even legal. Please help my teammate is contemplating suicide. jk

"break in the board" wowzers. Try doing a search on shocker dwell or bolt stick. I know this has been explained and solved on here before...

Change dwell to 25-30 beeps. Make sure the bolt kit is lubed properly(not too much for the inner orings). Clean the reg and make sure the piston oring isn't damaged.
