Hi,
I just got my M3 Black Dragun Led today. When I opened it up and tried to cock it, the cocking thing at the back would not budge. It seems as if the quick disconnect pin is preventing it from being pulled back. How can i fix this?
Thanks
Robert

I really dont understand why it isnt working. Did you fire it at all or did someone else? The only thing I can think of is that there is something between the bolt on the body. Pull it back as hard as possible. If that doesnt work take off the trigger frame, barrel, and front grip off and let it sit in water for a few hours and then try and pull it back. If that doesn't work and you cant take it back, then get a rubber mallet and pull the top flush cocking thing as far as it will go and give it a couple of hits with the mallet. This should dislodge anything in there. There could be something wrong with the flush cocking thing but I really doubt that it is anything except what I said above. If there is anything else I can help you with please let me know.

Try this,
After you take out the disconnect pin get a battle swab and take off the barrel and put the front end of the battle swab into where the front of the bolt is and try to knock it loose. Move the swab back and push it down hard and see if it comes out. Thats what I do if I chop a ball and a part of the ball gets stuck to where I can't get the bolt assembly out. Mabye the S#***ty (excuse my french but I was pissed at the stock o-rings when I got my gun) o-rings melted to the body or somthing because it was in a warm place for far too long. Thats my best guess. Any other ideas Sam?

:P I bought the gun from www.ontoppaintball.com and thanks for the help but it still won't cock. Like i said before, it seems as if the flush cocking thing is hitting the quick disconnect pin when i try to cock it. I pulled it as hard as I could and it wouldn't budge. Also, I replaced the orings but it didn't help.
Whats wrong?
Thanks,
Rob

On the back of your marker there is a pin with a paper clip like thing going through it to hold the other side of the pin. Pull the clip and slide the pin out. Then try the ways to force the bolt out said above.

I know how to take my gun apart....When i take the pin out,
the striker and bolt slide out easily. However, when I place the assembly back in and put in the disconnect pin, the gun will not cock. Btw, I am pulling the Top one, not the vel. adjuster. I know how the gun should be cocked but its not moving....
As I said before, it seems like the cocking thing is coliding w/ the pin,
Anybody had this problem???

Try to take the bolt assembly out and put the pin back in by itself. Try to see if the disconnect pin is sticking into the upper tube of your gun and tell me. Oh another idea, put the bolt assembly back in but don't put the pin in yet. Instead hold in the velocity adjuster so the whole thing doesn't slide out and try to cock it. USE THOSE MUSCLES!! LOL. If that works then it's definitely your pin and you might want to try to sand down the pin.

Yeah, its my pin.
I took a rather large allen wrench to act as the 'pin' and i could easily cock my gun
I think i should sand down my pin....

Mine is doing the same thing......it worked great for the first few months.......and then it did this sh*t......I even took the snap back thing apart and sanded it and polished it...it worked......but I figured out that the bolt is like slapping the snap back causing my pin to drive into the aluminum....making it dent it for some reason.......and I dont know what to do.......now I cant cock it at all....even when its out of the gun, Its really frustrating. Im not concerned right now, but I need to get it fixed before I start playing again. ARRRRRGGGHHHHH Its annoying
