New phantom

I got my new phantom in last night and took it out to shoot in the back yard. After turning up the velocity a bit it shot on a dime but I am running into issues where it double feeds alot. Anyone have any exp with these?

Check your paint to the barrel, make sure it is right.

To add to what the master of the Phantom said you should have recieved three(I think) ball retainer rings.

Nope didnt get any rings, when I cock the gun the paint wont roll out of the barrel, so I took the barrel off and noticved that if I happen to hold the pump in for too long multiple balls would drop so far three at the most. Does a detent fix that or do I need to pump faster? Actually on a side not I took the barrel off and dropped paint down it, some balls would stick at the top, some would go right through, and some would stop halfway down. SO I guess wehat they say about scorch paint is true lol. But yea I checked and didnt see any rings. I got a little bag with a black ring and a really small clear ring.

Step 1. Buy a decent paint with a good Paint - barrel match (You can afford the good stuff now)

Step 2. Dial your phantom in to around 270 ish I know mine works best from 270 -275. Brain - Thoughts?

Step 3. Buy a Detent kit. Should br around $10ish, will have 4 rings in it, a red/blue/silver/some other color. Use this like you'd use a freak kit, match the paint to ring.

Step 4 Buy a decent paint. You can afford it now...

Step 5. Have fun...

Step 6. Buy a decent paint you.... you get the idea...

I've found that right now Orange Chronic is my paint of choice..

lol ok I get it haha, I will have to order my paint online sad to say we dont have a pro shop around here that sells diff brands. I get kinda nervous doing that cause it is risky spending a butload to do that and end up getting paint that doesnt flow just right. But I guess everyone goes through this so I will just suck it up lol.
