Tiberius 9 Problem

Well since I'm new and looking to build relationships with all you lovely people here, let me throw a problem at you. I recently purchased a used Tiberius 9. It came with a stock, foregrip, red dot scope, and barrel shroud. One problem: it fires, but no balls come out. I own two T-8s that have never given me trouble, but I've only owned those for about 4 months.

What I've done so far:
- Wasted about eight 12-grams
- Checked the bolt and barrel and swabbed them as best I could
- Tried all four of my clips to no avail
- Cursed the rotten thing but decided against bashing it against a fence post
- Looked up the owners manual and troubleshot it as best I could
- Played with the regulator to excess turning it completely down, completely up, and everything inbetween

I'm about ready to completely dissasemble it but don't really like that idea much. Any ideas/suggestions for fiddling with it before I potentially turn my $200 investment into a $10 pile of scrap?

I think that there is a small part inside the gun that pushes on the ball spring release that alows the balls to come out of the mag and into the chamber. sounds like that is your problem.

Re: Tiberius 9 Problem

Heh, I had just got off the phone with the previous owner and he had suggested that as the problem. XD

I'm peeking down it now and I'm not seeing anything that seems out of place. Am I going to have to take it apart? :'(

Re: Tiberius 9 Problem

Rowen there are two different barrel positions on the T9 one for Hopper and one for Mag fed...

If you using the mags and dry firing on a full clip then I think you haven't twisted the barrel to use the magazines...

Hope this helps hit the same problem the 1st time I tried to fire a T9...

Re: Tiberius 9 Problem

I actually lent it to a friend to fix and he figured that out. Thanks for the help though Wolf.
