tes detent

[Airborne07]

when shooting my tes i notice sometimes i will fire two balls from one shot that come out of the barrel right next to each other. i am assuming i am getting double feed, but i didn't think this should be a problem considering i have an apache loader. when you screw your detent in and look at the detent with the barrel removed from the inside of the chamber do you notice about 2-3 threads where the detent could be further screwed in? should i remove the little o-ring on the detent so i can further screw my detent in? thanks

yeah, it sounds like double feed. I took mine apart, and didnt see what it was that you were talking about with threads, so I guess that my answer on that one is "no".
I'm most definitely no authority on the subject, so dont take my word for anything here- I think that they o-ring is there to help seal up the chamber. you might get leaks if you take it out. and you dont wanna get that detent out there too far into the chamber of you are gonna have feeding/cocking issues. If your bolt doesnt break the detent
I'm not knowledgable enough yet to know what could be causing your double feeds :(

do you think if i loosen my detent alittle this might stop breaks at higher rates of fire?

the breaks are most likely being cause by the double feeds, I am guessing. cause I know a friend of mine's pump does that when we double feed on it. I dont really know this for sure, but it just occured to me that yeah, you might have the detent in too far. that it could be snagging on your bolt, and not letting the bolt close all the way like it should, or slowing it down, so that its letting two drop in there.

another reason you dont wanna crank that detent in there all the way is that you could mess up the threads on it. just so ya know.

are you using the factory bolt, or an aftermarket?

I dont know much about this, but I'm taking another guess. check your internals and see if there is any metal shavings or dust on them, it could be your sear snagging on the bolt. (if thats the case, your gonna have to ask one of these other guys that knows more about markers than I do.)
