The Proto SLG 08 Rollback Problem

The black cover under the feedneck is the eye system

Ok for those of you out there with this problem, there is a very easy, free way to fix the rollback problem and it could even be done in your living room! Let me give you a brief explaniation about what the rollback problem actually is. The Proto SLG has an eye system which basically detects a paintball in the chamber before you fire. If the eyes don't detect the ball, the marker will not shoot. Now if you have the SLG 08, the only problem that interferes with the eyes is the bolt that holds the paintball in place. I believe it was a simple manufacturing or engeneering problem but for some reason the bolt is like a few millimetters short of where it should be. So when you are playing and you begin firing everything works fine until you tilt your marker up. Once you do that, the ball slides back in the chamber just a few millimeters to the point where the eyes do not detect a ball. What happens next is another ball will be jammed into your chamber and when you shoot, both balls either jam or break in the chamber and leaves you stranded alone with a non-working marker in the middle of a game.

There is a very easy way to fix it and I'll tell you how in the following steps:





1. First of all, check to see that you even have the roll back problem. Simply place a ball in the chamber and lift your marker. If the indicator changes from green to red, you have the problem. If it doesn't, don't continue these steps because you don't even have to roll back problem.

2. Once you established that you have this problem, unscrew the first part of the bolt from the back. As you know the bolt consists of two parts. Only take out the first part when you unscrew the bolt, leave the second one in there.

That is the entire bolt system but when I say unscrew the first part I mean just the part of the bolt that comes out when you unscrew the bolt.

3. Now you see the second bolt in the chamber. Stick either your thumb or an allen key to the edge of the silver bolt and push down until you feel it move down a little bit more. Don't be scared you wont break it, your just making up the extra millimeters that Proto missed out on.

4. After pushing the bolt in further, reattach the part of the bolt you have unscrewed.

5. Now to test to see if it worked right, turn the marker on, put a ball into the chamber, and tilt the gun up. The indicator should stay green and the bolt wont move. If you do have to take the bolt out, just make sure you give it a little bit of a push to move it up to the necessary place.





Now enjoy playing with no roll back problem. Also, if you feel the eyes are giving you problems, don't forget to clean them every once in a while. If you get paint in there, the eyes won't function correctly. So you might want to check that before even trying to fix the rollback problem.





If any of you have any more questions, do not be scared to ask. I'll answer you as soon as possible.

Welcome!

Ladies and Gentlemen, I am Daniel Mor and I want to introduce what you are about to look at. My buddy Eli and I are huge fans of paintballing as he told you all already. We are two kids who live on Long Island and are really interested in playing this game. Let me tell you what you could experience from this web site. First of all, we would love to answer any questions that you guys might have. Seriously don't be shy, we want to answer any question any one of you guys or gals have. It could be anything, even if it really has nothing to do with paintball (although it probably will or you wouldn't be asking us :P). Also, since my buddy and I have actually had a lot of experience paintballing, we would end up sharing stories and some tricks we have learned in our years. Since we live in the northeast part of the country, we will update you guys on events, tournaments, or just great places to stop by and play.

Okay since Eli has already given you guys his list of equipment I think I might as well share mine. I own a Proto SLG 08 (the one with the roll back problem if anyone needs help fixing it ask me and I'll tell you how, I fixed mine very easily) with a 48 ci 4500 psi ninja tank, and a Torque hopper. I kind of want to update my equipment but paintballing is an expensive sport...

Well for now that's all I could think of informing you. Please question or comment and trust me we will be more than happy to answer any of your questions.

So ladies and gentlemen good night and good paintballing!
