    Help, FX Maverick won't fire

    @douger - slugs, of course! JSB Knockout's, as mentioned.

    Broke my Maverick, again!

    @Airgunmann, @Emu - Ring's in place and appears to be pristine. @Chukar60 - I didn't have a liner, bought a full barrel set from Huma Air (shroud, transfer port all fitted), so I have to hope everything has been assembled correctly. Did not remove cocking rod, just slid the .22 probe out, and...

    Vector Tourex - windage dial stuck??

    Yes... I am a drunk idiot. My manual does not mention the pulling on the knb, however, I kind of figured it out first time around. Four months later, not even my seasoned hunter friends (stone cold sober, I must add) figured it out. Well, you live & learn that you're just an idiot... ;) Thanks...

    Broke my Maverick, again!

    ..btw... - any reactions to the wear on the original .22 pin probe? Would revert back to the original calibre, but looking at that pin probe (less than 400 shots), I'm really not happy with any decision! (Still posting drunk as a skunk, just sayin').

    Broke my Maverick, again!

    Thanks guys, will check your suggestions tomorrow (half past five P.M. around here, am on my vacation, tenth beer + a few shots in my bloodstream, and a mile to hike to where I sleep/shoot/tinker, so I'll refrain from any further fine mechanics-related tasks today ).:p But really, great...

    Yup, both of them...

    Broke my Maverick, again!

    Well, the pellet (slug, to be precise) is still in the barrel, so - while I concede that the action was not entirely closed - the air seems to have taken a different path. I can swap to another pellet probe, but am loathe to experiment until I am sure I don't have a critical fault at my hands...

    Help, FX Maverick won't fire

    To follow up - I made an oopsie again, see this thread: https://www.airgunnation.com/threads/broke-my-maverick-again.1271662/

    Broke my Maverick, again!

    So I managed to break something, again. Half an hour after fixing my original problem (see my previous thread). I decided to finally swap calibres/barrels, from my original .22 700 mm (28″), to .30 500 mm (20″). Replaced my hammer weight from my Huma-Air 13.2 gram to the 14.5 gram option from...

    Vector Tourex - windage dial stuck??

    Hi, so after almost four months I finally get the opportunity to do some shooting - and all of a sudden my optics go on strike. The windage dial just-won't-budge at all! I mean, I have not and am not really planning to use anything but fingerstrenght - too afraid using any kind of tools would...

    Help, FX Maverick won't fire

    So, update time: Don't have a definite diagnose, or an entirely satisfying answer to the exact mechanics of what got stuck on what, but the root cause seems to me have been a fine adjusment screw turned way too far out by the manufacturer, and my According to this video by Airguns of Michigan...

    Help, FX Maverick won't fire

    Heck if I know! Will investigate further in the morning; all I know right now is depressurizing the gun returned normal function to the trigger - hammer assemblies.

    Help, FX Maverick won't fire

    @ mntGhost: I'll have to call you Mr. Holmes, as the pressure gauge depressurizing is such an obvious step I'll havbe to concede it is practically obvius (read "elementary"). However, for some reason it is not mentioned anywhere in the official manual/video guides, nor anywhere in the...

    Help, FX Maverick won't fire

    Hi, I am at my wits end here! So, I decided to fine tune the hammer spring; turned power wheel to the adjusment aperture (uncocked gun), gave it one CC turn - forgot to turn the power back to 7, cocked & fired. Surpised at the (obviously) abysmal result, I repeated once more before I realized...
