Press of a button? Just messing with you. All i can say is WOW, amazing wood combines with amazing skill. The stock resembles skeleton cricket alil bit, but definitely have your own unique touch. Super super job.

I shot it till 100 bar yesterday, and have a little problem with magazine indexing, so this morning I was dry firing to see the magazine indexing. Little did I know, I was at 20-30 bar left. So I proceed to handpump it and air just gushed out. I handpumped it from zero before and it worked, but I was pumping like a maniac.

Any solution to that? It seems the transfer port will not seal or close. I also tried cock the gun before pumping. If I leave the probe open, air just gushes out from mag area, if I close the probe, air comes out from barrel end area. Thanks in advance.

I knew I fixed it. I prob didn’t fully close the bolt. One thing about the blowback, whenever it occurs, it does shoot the pellet at lower fps than supposed to be and when you cock the rifle again, it will not index the to the next pellet. So second shot after blowback is always a dry fire. No buyer remorse…Read more
