...this happens during cold/cold & wet weather.
1.) Is this a common problem for mags?
2.)Any ideas on how I can make it gentler on paint?

I have already switched from the stock spring to a longer one. The foamie seems OK. I have tried different barrels. I wonder if it's not ball stack clipping, and larger paintballs would help... but it's "field paint only" at my field .

are you using level-7 or Level-10 ?

[ficone]

Well if he has a ule custom,he has a level 10. How many shims are you running?

[renie]

Ck your detent(s). Depending on which ones you have. Some can be screwed in enough that the ball will be clipped by the sidewall of the detent.

[Brad Quillen]

Level 10 bolt with 2 shims.

AGD detents.

I just read about the level 10 a little bit on the AutomagsUK.com site. They said that the Level 10 bolt is .685. I have been using a smaller barrel, and there is an obvious ring of wear around the bolt.

Could bolt/barrel size mismatch be contributing to the problem? Although I had tried different barrels, none of them were smaller than .685.

Gosh I really want to get my 'Mag all happy and killy again!

I did end up needing to add another shim to my level 10. Maybe that will help some.

My g6r works fine too!!

Are you using the gold spring?

[Brad Quillen]

No, I'm using the red spring that I trimmed down a little bit.

When you switch to a longer spring, is there any other tuning that needs to happen? This, assuming that my level 10 had been previously tuned with the gold spring in place.
