Explain your exact problem. Does it not recock every time you fire or what?

Can you let us know what you have already done? I could start listing a bunch of stuff, but I don't know what you've already tried.

Jeeze, um, I tried over like 75 differnt ways to fix this and they all didn't work (and im not going to even try to write them all down so don't ask) and yes, you have to recock it after everyshot ( I could always call it the worlds coolest looking pump lol)

Exact Problem- Im think that theres too much pressure on the pin ( internal clog) so when the rear bolt hits the pin, it doesn't move. I already cleaned out the valve,asa,lines, and everthing else. If all else fails im just going to go ahead and buy all new internals

Assuming you're shooting with a full tank... and that all your regulators are opened properly... i'd have to guess it's a problem within the powertube.... maybe something IS clogged...

another thing you could check is make sure your striker arm is well lubricated... and make sure your striker pin isn't bent... though i'm sure you woulda noticed that....
uhmm... really anything that would impede the blowback from recocking your striker would do it...

try dismantling the internals of your powertube, and check to see if it's been fouled with CO2 impurities or something... though if you run HPA that isnt a factor really...

If you've removed your vertical bottle adapter, you may have a sliver of metal inside your power tube... that can royally screw things up in a hurry...

anyway... you have a few more ideas now at any rate. good luck.

Thanx KossacK I did all those but the last one. I never would have thought about a little piece of metal (I really didn't care to check when I dismantled the valve)
