one question-
When you go to fill the gun- do you pull the slide back first? meaning 'cock the gun' ? the gas will vent unless the gun is ready to shoot.
Try that and let us know, we will go from there if that doesn't solve it.

yea. evertime before i put gas in it i always cock the bolt back. but when i fire like the first shot, the bolt retracts half way and then gas starts shooting out.. plus the bbs dont even come out when i fire. i saw that the get stuck in the chamber and will only come out if i push them down with a cleaning brush. what should i do?

Ok- it sounds to me like there may be 3 issues-
1st, I would guess that maybe you haven't 'tightened all the screws' yet- what that means is the hex screws/bolts that hold all the parts together (once you have the weapon stripped down) may need to be reviewed- particularly the one that holds the operating handle (Slide) on the gun- that one was pretty loose on mine when I recieved it from AEX. One word of caution, don't adjust any of the hex set screws on the underside of the gas resevoir, I think there are 2 or 3 there.
2nd, sounds like perhaps your 'hop-up' is set too deep- I would take a look at backing the set screw controlling that back out till the barrel is clear.
3nd, I would re-read the Garand article link I sent at the top of this thread and take a look at the cfg. of the pressure valve and make sure yours is that way- it sounds like perhaps yours is in reverse and venting air for some reason.
Did you buy the gun used or new?

i think i resolved one problem. the bbs shoot out. the problem is there is a gas leak still cuz the bolt retracts half way. sometimes it retracts all the way but others it doesn't. i think the bolt is getting caught on somethin.. i just dont know what.

"i think the bolt is getting caught on somethin....."
Hence the suggestion to take it back apart and take a good look at the hex screws- once you have the upper reciever out of the stock and in your hand, try operating the bolt to see what/if it catches on anything- that will tell you if the issue is inside the stock- should assist in locating the area where it is sticking.

with the reciever out of the stock you can still operate the slide- which could give you an idea where an issue may lie- in other words, if the slide works freely with the mechanics out of the wooden stock, then perhaps there is something inside the stock that the slide/bolt/whatever is catching on once its back together. It still sounds to me like it may be the pressure valve at the front of the resevoir- but be very carefull with this screw-in fitting- you DO NOT want to strip it out. Just read over that article and pay close attention to the photos of the brassing fittings. Just stripping the gun down should give you a better idea how it all operates- taking the gun apart and putting it back together should make you more confident about its operation as well- learn the weapon- and while you are doing this you are supposed to chant to yourself: "This is my weapon, this is my gun...This one's for killin, this one's for fun" ;D ;D

alright. i tried it. i took the trigger group out looked at it and checked if there was anything loose. i didnt see anything. then i put it back in and saw that when the thing on the inside gets locked back when ready to fire in the trigger group, it is conflicting with the bolt shooting back. i just dont know how. for some reason when i fire upside down, the bolt goes all the way back. but when up...u get the picture. soo.. i see that the bolt is making contact with the trigger set up thing that is attached to the trigger guard. what should i do?
