Umarex Bolt and boltprope siezed up

[mikey fingers]

I have an umarex gauntlet 30 sl had it 2 months now put a tin of jsb exact diobolo 44.75gr thru it like a Lazer beam sooo pleased then 100 fx hybrid slugs ran great up till the last 3 shot 1 cocked the lever ,as I pushed the bolt lever closed felt like it was getting hung up before the probe enters the barrel shot 2 and 3 got more difficult so I pop the mag out safety on and tried to cycle the bolt.pull the lever back now volt only goes half way and stops ..calked umarex no response yet hoping warranty covers this 1 .any ideas guys? I'm not ready to take this thing all apart not that knowledgeable just yet ..

Is barrel blocked? Wooden dowel, tapping back from muzzle to breech will tell. Muzzle crown can be damaged by metal rod so wood is recommended. If dowel hangs up before reaching breech and tapping won't dislodge, try harder strikes with a rubber mallet to dowel end. WM

Contact the vendor you purchased the rifle from and learn what they can do for you. Unfortunatly a warranty repair will cost you time, several weeks at best, and may cost you shipping - depending on the original vendor. God speed.

Barrel clean it's the actual valve block and lS of receiver that's where it's hanging up bolt probe don't even make it to the Barrel. Wondering if there's dirt in there.still waiting to hear from umarex, arkansas location it's under warranty tho I'm hoping worst case they send me a new 1 cause I love this airgun pyramid air been cool with me helping me out .

I clean barrel after every use the bolt and probe don't even make it into the barrel looking today I think it's the silver arm connection to the bolt I think the connector screw backed out something in receiver housing on the stock side of magwell .I just don't wanna have to open it just yet.its under warranty hoping worse case I can replace it

Something with the lever and bolt connection

Yes sounds like maybe a linkage fastener came loose jamming the works.
