Etek 3 bolt - help I'm a noob

[louisxg]

Taken my bolt out of my Etek 3 to clean it up and although I can put it back in the gun won't fire.

When I put it into the position where I removed it from its just a green light, however if I take it out and place it forwards its blue and will allow me to fire however no paint comes out.

From videos it looks like it meant to go further back and then slide forwards until it gently kicks back, but I can't get it right.

Can anyone advise me on what I am doing wrong?

Turn ur eyes off or put a finger in with no air on to hear the noid click

2 things
1st the gun won't fire if the eyes are on but nothing is in the breach, you can try putting a fluffy down the feedneck and firing it if your unsure.
2nd if the above doesn't work take the bolt out gas up your gun wich will force the rammer to the back, put you finger down the feedeck and slide the bolt in untill the tip hits your finger then push the bolt pin down.(makes sure the gun is turned off)

The tip of the bolt should be in-line with the back of the feedneck.
Then turn the eyes off and fire or put a fluffy down the feedneck and fire

Thanks for the advice guys, I've packed the gun up for now as I got fed up but I will give it another shot (excuse the pun) soon!

Was is shooting fine before you took out the bolt? look through from the top the pin should align with the "hole" in rammer. Sorry if im not clear my english is a little bit limited.

Make sure the bolt pin sits inside the gap on the tip of the rammer, bolt the right way up(The hole should be facing down).
