mac11 please help!!

[THEFIRM]

hi all,

i have a hfc mac11 that i brought of the forums a while back.

it was in near new con, it hold gas fine but for some reason it just doesn't want to fire

iv stripped it to check out the internals and gave it a good oiling with silicone spray.

i reassembled only to get the same result.

my problem is the bolt wont re-cock its self after firing the first shot, almost as if there

isn't enough power to re-cock the bolt.

it may just be some kind of seal or o-ring gone

but i wouldn't have a clue where.

anyone else had similar problems??

any help would be much appreciated as im dying to use it

thanks in advance.

THEFIRM.

try tightening the allen key screw on the back of the handle, i know this sounds stupid but one of my friends had the same problem and that fixed it

Re: mac11 please help!!

What gas are you using? sometimes they do that with the wrong gas and when they are cold.

Re: mac11 please help!!

i have only tried green gas through it, guess i just assumed thats what it ran on :s.

thanks for everyone's quick responses and il be giving them all a go.

just hoping the bolt aint f%&£*d! if it is would it be worth replacing?

thanks.
