works good now, after cleaned haven’t have any problem, thank you

Usually this sort of trouble is caused by hammer chatter.

Next time you have it apart, swab out the frame, get it clean.
Clean off the hammer, spray with a Teflon spray or a silicone spray.

A little goes a long way.

the pressure is down to 2800 psi so the problem happen in between 280psi
and 2900 psi

Add a drop of petroleum FREE oil to the valve stem and keep shooting….Hopefull the problem will go away after a short breakin period…

great, i took it out , well i shoot 8 shoots so far is good, didn’t feel any difference without the tape but hope don’t act weird again

Try to make note of the tank pressure when the problem occurs…Could have something to do with fill pressure…

i took the barrel and everything out , the spring had a pc of masking tape stuck to it i am wondering if that was part of the problem ill tryout again

The masking tape is some sort of spring twang reducer…It is suppose to be there….

vahg, my thought is either the hammer is not hitting the
breech consistantly or the air valve on the tank is acting up..
Cock the gun and while holding the trigger and see if the
breech and hammer mover all the way forward and back
smoothly. After that, If you can bleed the air out of the tank
you can check the valve to make sure it isn’t sticking and that
it is working smooth….I have had more than one valve spring
collapse and cause some erratic FPS results…You might try lubing
the valve stem to see if it may be getting dry even though it is
new,,,,..
