Remove the grip and clean all the sliding parts with large amounts of denatured alcohol and Q tips. The guys ususally just re-oil it to fix it up temporily. Oil IS a dirt magnet. It accumulates and causes these kinds of problems. A good cleaning a couple of times a year eliminates these gremlins that can take all the fun out of a day of paintball. BUT If you aren't timed perfectly AND you have your front reg turned up TOO HIGH, that can cause them to stick in the bolt open position. The high pressure causes a little leaking past the o rings and it acts like a ram that holds the 3 way in the bolt open position. If cleaning doesn't fix it, adjust your front reg.
