and OPR valve removal),
Did you plug the OPR or remove it?

I'm pretty sure it was something out of alignment on the inside, like the 'plunger' at the top.

So... I bought an Iron Man Magstrike, and I loved it. So naturally, I had to have more. I did a few modifications (the usual bladder space increase, safety removal, and OPR valve removal), slapped it back together, and BAM! Only shoots one dart (ranges not exact, but I'd say, oh, three inches) and the clip does not advance. Plus, so as to add insult to injury, when no clip is inserted, the advancement wedge DOES come forward.

I had the exact same problem. I scrapped it, as I hate the thing, but I believe that I put the parts in wrong.
Try making sure the parts are in exactly as they should be, and try again.
This is why powerclips are so much better. They don't have these kinds of problems.....
It's just screaming to be rearloading...
I seen a movie about that once.

Make sure the white ring at the back of the piston is sitting in its groove.
Also make sure that the Green clip advancer is in the right position. There is a groove on the side it goes into.
I don't feel the way I used to do.
I know its bad,
After what we had,
But I’m just not the angel you knew.

I screwed it together too tightly. I get overzealous sometimes, and... yeah.
So, thanks to everyone- your directions to check the internal positioning caused me to repeatedly take it apart, then repeatedly screw the front back together to test it. When I got lazy, it began to work.
That, or the last thing I tried was the problem. But as I think it was replacing the safety... I'm gonna go with the screws.
So... Thank you all for your time.
