So my NME has never failed me, until last weekend, it seems like the eyes just do not want to work. I cleaned and oiled my gun perfectly and there is nothing in the way of eyes. When there is no ball in the chamber I turn the gun on and it is with the eyes on it seems to be working, but once i put a ball in the chamber it doesn't want to shoot. It will shoot without the eyes on but not with them on. Does anyone have and advice for me? PLEASE NEED HELP!!!!

Check your wires they're probably pinched somewhere when you took it apart.

[SEAL 6]

uh..... there are several explanations for this
raise your eye power
the eyes are damaged (pinched wire or damaged transmiter/reciever
change your eye mode to eye mode 2 (you may be in simulation mode)

[loser555]

yeah check your eye mode

[Dhutzy]

If my eye power is at 10 right now what do you recomend to set it to.? Isn't eye mode 2 and 1 the same except mode 1 monitors the bold and has a rof cap?

[Dhutzy]

So I figured it out it wasn't my eyes. My bolt is to far back and the ball falls back out of the eye's sensors. The manual doesn't really explain what to do, except to use an 1/8 allen wrench to adjust it. Do you just screw that screw in the back of the bolt to move the bolt up or what do you do because I tried to screw that in but it didn't do anything. SOMEONE HELP!

You move the ram which moves the placement of the bolt. Move the ram forward by screwing it in further with the ram adjuster at the back of the gun.

[loser555]

incase you dont know where to adjust the ram its the end cap on the tube unber the bolt

Calm down man, don't worry.

there is a screw in your back cap at you use to adjust the bolt travel. i'd secure the back cap with a crecent wrench (wrap the back cap in a paper towel or something to prevent scratching) so that the back cap doesn't overtighten or come lose as you adjust

[Brute06]

If he's only screwing it in, then he won't need to worry about securing it with a crescent wrench. It can't work loosen unless he's moving the ram backwards. Make sure you also check the placement of your detents while you're at it. If your detents are too far forward, the balls can roll forwards, which can either cause a double feed, a chop, or just for your eyes to be unable to see. If the detents are too far back, then you might not be able to feed any balls at all.

When adjusting your ram, make sure you only put the bolt far enough forward that you barely see the bolt when you look directly into the feedneck, otherwise you'll block the feedneck and the balls won't feed.

ehh not so good on that cuz he could be looking at an angle but what i'd do it use a pencil or pen or w.e and stick it down your feedneck and put it against the smaller circle of the feedneck at the back of the feedneck and put pressure on it and move the bolt back untill the pencil doesn't touch the pencil and once you do that stick your finger in your feedneck and try and feel and make the distance from the feedneck and the tip of the bolt about a half mm or a dimes thickness

i had a similar problem......maek sure your detents are adjusted right as well .
i used my nme for awhile without eyes cause i thought i had pinched a wire . come to find out, i had the detents adjusted wrong ......

I said directly, but you're right, if he's not used to it, he could very easily look at it on an angle...... although that really wouldn't make much of a difference because the top of the bolt is on the same plane as the bottom of the feedneck, but we really don't have to get into any of that crap right now, whichever way works best for him is fine. As long as his gun is working, I don't really care about the method he uses in order to get it there.

or just test dropping ball down the breech and see if it get stuck.... lol

[Dhutzy]

So lets make sure I understand this I screw in the silver bolt in the back of my ram cap to move the ram forward moving my bolt forward, that is all I have to do. What was with securing the ram cap is that important?

[Polygamist13]

Dhutzy: Yes........and...........loctite should be good enough to secure that ram cap.

[Brute06]

By securing the ram cap he's referring to the crescent wrench comment earlier. In this case it's not a big deal. If you find that you've screwed in too much, then you might need to hold the ram cap with your fingers or something so you can screw out the ram adjuster a little. It's just that the ram cap and the ram adjuster both screw the same way, so if you ever loosen the adjuster, you might end up just unscrewing the ram cap instead.

[Dhutzy]

Everything is in working order now, thanks for all the information and help.

[Polygamist13]

ahhhhhh.........another NME problem solved.......good work boys.........
