I just checked VP. That thread has been archived. Sorry mate.

But I remember it quite clearly. The part of the priming mechanism that pushes the dart tooth out of the way on the forward stroke, didn't engage the dart tooth arm enough to fully push it out of the pathway of the barrel. When I looked down the barrel, the tooth was clearly in the way of the dart. In other words, there was no way a dart was going to get through that part of the barrel without scraping against the dart tooth.

After correcting that problem with a dab of epoxy, I blew out a piece of the Air Restrictor, and broke the dart post (not my fault, I swear). After figuring out that it had nothing to do with the previous problem, I resigned myself to removing the rest of the AR to get it working again.

Holy hamburger, Batman ! That was the best thing that ever happened to my EXDAT. The increase in performance and consistency was astounding. It's absolutely one of my favorite blasters now. Eventually I added an OMW Stage 1, and padded the plunger. Even better.

Good luck VP. Hope you have a similar outcome.
