Premium Bolt Pin BB Tension

Seems the spring tension on the BB in the new bolt is weak sauce. Bolt pops out of place in the ram with every shot. Made for a sad day Anyone else having issues with this? I've read elsewhere to add another BB or two to fix this... need to find some BBs now. Brand new in box gun too

Fixed. I had to drop some properly cut plastic spacers into the spring hole to up the tension. Roughly the volume of a second bearing... bit of an obvious oversight on the spring used. Annoying...

Could stretch the spring.

Most people been complaining that the pin was to hard to pull, not the opposite.

That was my backup plan Luckily I had some cylindrical plastic rods that were the right size sitting around in my hobby drawer, so I just cut one to the size I needed (probably around 3-4 mm). Worked great Nearly lost the BB on the first attempt of putting it back together. Luckily it made so much noise I was able to figure out roughly where it landed!
