Used an 8.4v and 9.6v batteries, both charged.
Ball bearing spring guide
ball bearing piston head
silent piston head
Basically, I put the gearbox back together pull the trigger and it fires a good 3 round burst. But after the gearbox simply seizes up.
The piston simply gets stuck in the back near the spring guide. I know the spring is not buckling over the side of the spring guide. The gearbox simply cant pull the piston back all the way.
In the picture below is an example where the piston stops.
You help would be greatly appreciated.

does the gearbox strain when it does shoot?
maybe the Ball bearing spring guide along with the ball bearing piston head are taking up too much room and jamming the piston when the spring is fully compressed. you only need bearings on one side of the spring, on the spring guide or on the pistonhead.
try removing one of the bearing sets and see if it helps.
