Indexing issues
Did Ed ever offer a soultion to the people with indexing issues? I spent hundreds in shipping and tune to try to correct it with no success. I most likely won’t be able to sell the gun because of it. Will the fact that it was tuned be reason to void any sort of warranty?

Hmmmmm…..
Sounds like an indexing problem to me!
I have noted sometimes I will skip a chamber in the magazine when I cock it, but won’t notice until I re-load, and see there is one chamber with a pellet still in the magazine. It seems somehow to have indexed past that chamber, and went on to the next one. I don’t get a “dry fire” that way, just one less shot from the magazine. Doesn’t happen much.
My personal take on this is I wasn’t cocking with enough force to get everything to move properly.
Assman, I suggest you grab your cocker with a firm grip, pull back with a manly tug, then push forward vigorously. This is a “muscle memory” action that should come naturally to most men…although I’m not certain what the customs are where you live.
The English refer to this cocking method as “Wanking”. A shooter who cycles his cocker back and forth vigorously, several times and on frequent occasions, is referred to as a “Wanker”!
Perhaps this will help, perhaps not. I’m curious if anyone has noted this problem as well?
Kind regards,

My bad Hoot, it’s a been a while since I used it. I had the same problem as you, but it skipped more often, it would land on one that had fired, that’s why I thought it was dry firing.
I thought I was fairly good at “wanking”. I will have to film myself so I can review the tape. Perhaps you will be able to give me some pointers.

Please stop bashing the R3M !
Those indexing issues are made up!
We all know it 😀

That’s basically the answer I got when I addressed the problem when I got it.

What indexing problems are you referring to???? What is the exact nature of the problem.
Hoot:
Well I’m not exactly sure what is happening other than after I cycle using the the handle only about a third of the shots fire. The gun fires, but no pellet comes out.
Sounds like to much cheese, needs to poop. Drink some fluids, have a salad, use some force to rotate the mag. Contact Tony, to get a improved breech with the proper mag indexing detent. Hell, Bruce Jenner wants a whole new gender, you can do this.

hard to sell, most people ask about the indexing. So frustrating that the gun has sat for almost two years. Putting deposits down on the new FX bullpups, will wait to purchase once they release more information on them.
