Help - My new Sterling SC is breaking paint constantly

[SignOfZeta]

I will say…if the paint is egg shaped and you’re sizing freaks for zero rollouts you’re going to get breaks. It will be too tight half the time. Wedgits with fingers are less bothered by this, so is tape.

The easiest way to fix this problem (probably) is to get ahold of a guy who’s messing with inserts and buy his stock barrel off him. Add a 1” piece of tape and never think about any of this again.

I swear to God this is a rock solid gun that never gives issues. All I added was a Freedummy wedgit for Spyders that I bought years before. All this freakiness is what’s f-ing it all up somehow.

I'm willing to bet the problem is the paint.... That's borderline unusable.

It is unusable. Markers are designed to shoot round balls. Not egg shaped ones. This is the kind of paint that you get and just call it a day and go home while you still got time to make other plans. I go ask around the field/event what peoples opinion on the different paint offered is before I buy anything. I don't pre order paint or entry. I will leave and go do anything else besides waste my money on s*** paint and try to make it somehow work. Big reason I only go to scenario/big games now is for the chance they might have the refridgerated trailers. But even if I drove hours. No way I'm buying unuseable paint for $70-90 a case. .

I've actually seen worse paint.....

Unfortunately that is a sad truth.

That's why I carry the SSR all over the place 😅
