Brand new gun. Installed the 65cc plenum and was sighting in and go to cock again, no worky. Less than 50 shots fired total. Glad the the Airgun Channel dude was Brave enough to show NOT how to fix this Baboon style. I was able to push the probe out with a cleaning rod. I cleaned everything up and and used lock tight on the probe set screw. I think the factory mags don't help the problem. The Airgun Channel dude had problems with both his DRS's, maybe the set screws were not tightened properly at the factory. I would recommend lock titing the set screw as preventive measure, I'm also going to use aftermarket mags.
FX Dreaded DRS bolt stuck in magazine/barrel
- Thread starter ngapls
- Start date
Definitely strange as I don’t remember ever reading about this problem until now. Never when the gun first came out 
. Glad you got it going without mangling anything.

The fool never learns from his mistakes.
The smart man learns from his mistakes.
The wise man learns from the mistakes of others.
Good on @kaylaindy for posting his mistake so that others have the chance to learn.

When I saw @kaylaindy s post I was like wow, that's messed up it happened to both of the DRS s he shot. And then it happened to mine! I had never heard of this either.

Hence my "rule" to never purchase a first offering of any new gun, no matter how appealing. I try to let others find what does or doesn't work in a manufacturer's new entry to the market & wait for the "2.0" version. I'm sure there will be others experiencing the same problem as you & kaylaindy!

So, I posted this on Nate's topic also, same situation.
My Taipan Vet 2 did the exact same thing. Bolt wouldn't come back all the way 3 out of 10 shots, I had to pull the trigger and then it came back fine. The sear itself was too sensitive. I adjusted the sear and that was it. It's been perfect for the last 3000 shots. I suspect the same is with Nate's FX. The trigger is adjusted so that it performs near perfect, but sometimes a tweak is needed to make it reliable. Adjusting the sear on my Taipans trigger worked and did nothing to take away from how great the trigger still feels. Play with the adjustments just a little, you'll learn how to get the settings you want and eventually you will figure it out. It's not broken, it just needs tweaked s smidge.
My bolt probe set screw doesn't seem to be lose, and I don't believe that Nate's was lose either. If the sear is too sensitive, it seems that it can reset itself upon firing. If this happens, when you pull the lever back and it stops about 2/3 the way back, then you pull the trigger and hear a "click" and then the bolt is able to be retracted all the way, it's the sear. Obviously if the bolt probe does not retract when you pull back the side lever and the probe seems stuck, that probably indicate a lose set screw. Maybe there are 2 problems here...
