Thanks for your input...I spoke to Mike Cassidy at CCI and he kind of confirmed what I had suspected that it is probably my spring setup. He said that there is a possibility that the CO2 pressure was holding back my valve. While playing, as the tank heats, the tank pressure increases and that extra pressure is holding the valve shut and not allowing a full release. I will try changing the springs to get a better balance and hopefully... Thanks again : Completely cleaing out the lower half of the reciever--spray silican lube and spray co2 or some other 'computer safe' air to clear it= (back portion where the cup seal is located) chances are some fine slick grime has had time to collect on the inverse side (not the side that you see). . .if not then you can change your springs; but From what I see on mine; they' don't wear out that eaislily. What you may have is a verrrrry small leak in hte cup seal and you can try fipping it? anything else and well just tinker until you find a conclusion; Phantoms are relatively so easy to diognos that you pritty much can fid/fix it yourself given Precious Time.
