Q:

Tank valve problem

I let a new tuner work on my gun and also the tank valve.
I have had the gun for months and shot it just enough to sight in a night vision scope, then the gun sits in the corner.

Yesterday I decided to see how well it was tuned on the Chrony.
Well, before I could shoot 2 ten shot strings, the tank valve starts blowing all the air out after a shot.
Besides the gun having no more power etc than a stock gun, the roughness of the parts, etc, etc. That is besides the point, anyone konw what is wrong with the bottle valve? What would the “fix” be?
Walt in Ha. is making a 25cal barrel, so not would be a good time to get it repaired correctly.

What pisses me off is I spent several 100 dollars and it turns out to be a piece of shit.

To ALL-
ONLY ALLOW TUNERS WITH A LONG HISTORY OF QUALITY WORK TO TUNE YOUR GUN.

Now I am stuck, laid off and do not have the $$$ to repair the gun as it should have been tuned in the 1st place.

I wish a million times over I would have sent it to Talon Tunes or Airhog to have the work done…, but me being me, trying to help someone out, trying to help him build a name working on these guns, just starting out, giving him a chance to build a reputation…, you know…, now I am “stuck”. The gun can not shoot, I have no extra $$$ to get it repaired and no night vision gun as I needed for varmints.
All because I always try to help out the “small guy”, the underdog, someone starting out, etc.
I always seem to get screwed when I try to help out people. I always get it in the end, one way or the other.

Rant over, I did not mean to rant, it just came out, LOL!
Anyhow, can anyone help with the valve problem?

Thanks:)

I totally 2nd this… if this isn’t Don’s work, tell us, it’s not fair to him if it isn’t, even though I’ve had issues with him in the past. On another note, I can’t believe Don would send such a email regardless. Tell us who the hell it is so other people are privy to this and don’t get the same shaft.

Thirded, the circumstantial evidence is making me feel like I’m Lee J. Cobb’s character in 12 Angry Men.

Henry Fonda, where are ya? 😆

Wayne, do the right thing.

the longer this goes on the worse it becomes.

It NEEDS to be stated clearly who did this work so nobody else gets ripped off. Don has been eluded to but that is now worse than just coming forth with the information, even more so if it is not him.

If he makes it right then he gets his word and trust back (it has happened before), if not you just did the whole community a favor by getting the information out into the light of day… 😉

That email stinks of OKAYS or whatever the hell he is calling himself these days… 🙄

I don’t think that was Don that sent the email, that sounds more like our little troll trying to make someone just as unhappy with life as he is.
I don’t think Don would go through the trouble of setting up an anonymous account, and we all know who already has one set up and likes to send them out, I believe Jerry just recently got one 🙄

Adam, PM sent.

This is an email I just got-
A pussy, chicken-shit sent it, sent it anonymous through a different email-

I AM SO GLAD I FUCKED YOU WITH THE MODS HAHAHAHA

It is strange how people are hero’s behind a keyboard.
It does not make me mad, it is just funny when people hide to have to try to say something, LOL!!!

If this was indeed Don that did your tune and you were on a phonecall chatting level, perhaps take it up with him.

If you will not say who it was then it is just too bad that someone else may get shafted or at a minimum Don’s already poor reputation is smeared.

I find it interesting that not that long ago things were all rosy with everyone……..

Sharpshooter, you really are an absolute tosser.

Guess it doesn’t need to be said, its pretty obvious… 😕

We wanna know who did it!!!
Has this ‘modder’ offered to resolve the issue??
Money back??

After all of this, would “you” let the same person work on “your” gun?
There is no way!!
Looking at it, it looks like everything is a mess.
That;s what I get for trying to help. I always get screwed when I try to help out…, especially when money is involved.

Will you please tell us who?

Walter….

Wayne, check your PM 😉

Yep, from what I can see, that breach/bolt sure looks like the one he sent me, and he used to make custom knobs like that with the o-rings… I was just going to ask about Don, then I read somewhere here that he “Fell off the face of the earth”… 💡

That looks like Dons work. Sharpshooter.

Wayne. Send me the tank and I will try to fix your valve for you and send me that hammer as well.
