E-MR1 chops (bad) - covering my bases

You mean the de-cocking? Yeah, that part I understood. Now if I can just get my hands on a 1/8" QD fitting for the remote...

Yes, that's what I was referring to.

I personally wouldn't bother with the remote as it does not hinder your ability to go out and play. If it was NIB, I'd contact the company that it came from and get an RMA for it and send it back in for a replacement.

I could go without the remote, but I've had some trouble in the past with liquid (or nearly so) in the gun. The remote is a Spyder remote, but I bought it retail. I'll sort it out. It's not new, but it was only used once.

I think that if the marker isn't cocking when there are no balls in the chamber that the striker oring (red one) may need to be replaced. Just a thought....

Just wanted to follow-up. Marker appears to be behaving now. With the Trinity feedneck and Ricochet hopper on I didn't have a single chop at the game this weekend. I wasn't running burst or auto, but in the past I was chopping in single shot mode anyway. So the performance this weekend was a noted improvement. The only problem I did have, was twice (seemingly after switching out CO2) the marker was shooting very very slow. Slow enough not to register on the chronograph at the park. In both cases pulled the bolt & striker, made sure that everything was oriented properly and that the rubber o-ring/buffer wasn't hanging the spring up somehow, then reassembled. After that, on both occasions it was immediately fixed. I don't know what is happening there but I'm wondering if the rubber buffer that goes around the spring isn't hanging or binding somehow. Anyone ever run into that before?

Could be your striker o-ring in need of lube. Either that, or your stock spring is wearing in.
