How does it get stuck? Like foward? Backwards?

it will go forward a little bit but then it gets stuck. and if i shoot it then the bolt only goes half way forwards.

Let me guess. you have an evil bolt installed. The pin is bumping against the lower part of the pin guide frame at the front. This is caused by the pin not being as broad as the stock bolt. the pin shaft is bending the aluminum in just enuff to cause the frame to catch on to the delrin bolt. I hope to have pics up soon to illustrate this.

You probably have not installed the bolt pin correctly. Take the pin and bolt out, and look down through the bolt window. Find what position the hammer (It will look like a slot, most likely in the back of the window) is in and then replace the bolt (make sure the air intake is facing down) and then put the bolt pin in so that it connects in the hammer's slot.

Is your bolt delrin? If it is, and u lubed it, it is very possible it has swollen up too big to fit in the breach.
If not, maybe check your o-rings to see if theyre the right size.
It would really help to know what kind of set up your using.

i do not have a delrin bolt and the o-rings r the right size. i just have a stock turbo impulse. no new parts except for a blade trigger.
check if there is any scacths on the bolt and if there is u have a burr. i had one and the bolt did the same thing u just need a rat tail file(the small round one )and file it off. it will be on the opening at the top in the front.
its sapposed to say scratchs(my bad)
check if there is any scacths on the bolt
i have had the same problem before.
if you look at the top of your imp you will see the slot that the bolt pin slides along. at the end near the feed tube look at the metal, this bit can be bent slightly inward if your velocity is set too high and you shoot.
this happened to me, in the end my local techs had to duct tape some sand paper onto a stick and file out the indent from inside.
before you start sanding actually have a look to see whether this is the problem though, if it is you should be able to see some damage to the metal from the outside, and feel the indent on the inside.
also look on your bolt front for scratches, or to see if part of your bolt is dented as that may be causing
the problem
hope this helps, btw feel free to e-mail or pm me with any other q's
