Title: armada/marauder bolt probe??
Post by: oneshot61 on December 08, 2017, 05:33:07 PM

Hey guys, anybody know why the bolts extend back into the loading area after cocking and if this is supposed to be normal? Kind of inconvenient when trying to load the clip. And is there a solution that anyone knows of before I tear into this thing??

That has been reported and seems common with the Armada breech.  Loosen the trigger assembly and hold as far back to the rear of the air tube, and retighten the screws.

I just got a new Armada and noticed that as well it makes it tough getting the mag in when you have to hold the bolt back and reach over with the left and get the mag in straight. Thanks for the hint about moving the trigger guard back. Will do mine also.
Thanks

My guess is that you are using 25 cal.  Some have also taken a little off the bolt probe or replaced the bolt with a Gen 1 flow thru bolt.
