I won an Alpha Black at a scenario game (I didn't buy it, so don't flame me for having one).

To keep this short, it will not blowback. It is "cocked", I fire, and I have to "recock" it to fire another ball.

YES:
I have air
I have enough air
I have used my tank on this gun before
I have oiled it
I have cleaned it
I have checked it to see it's internals
It has every part in it

the only reason that it would need to be recocked is because the air or CO2 pressure is not enough to push the bolt back, u should just call Tippmann

I agree call Tippmann. Or take it to a tech.

Before hittin up Tippmann your problem with the ABT, check the Main Drive Spring, it might be to he point that the Main Spring is so Compressed that its unable to let the Rear Bolt when it cycles back to catch the Sear.

Thanks guys. I'll try to get my hands on some air or CO2 before next weekend.
My latch isn't backwards, that was one thing I first checked.

Thanks for all the feedback

Check your velocity as well hazzard. It is most likely not the problem but my vs3 had that problem and would do the same thing. I cranked it up and it worked fine after that. Hopefully you get it fixed before saturday, If not we can try and fix it there.

See you at Bastogne...
