CF LSS Texan not firing! Please help I’ve tried everything

[castro510]

Hi all I’m new to here and was wondering if anyone can help me with this problem….my CF LSS Texan right out the box, purchased directly from Airforce Airguns won’t fire…all I hear is a dull click noise…

I’ve tried everything, including contacting Airforce Airguns like 5 times via email and left a message at their phone number…no response…I cock the gun, load a pellet, and remove the safety and it’s a no go…I’ve tried fiddling around with the adjuster but still nothing…someone mentioned removing the screw on the forearm that didn’t help either…some people said it’s not cocking fully but it’s cocking fully at a little bit over 90 degrees…I don’t want to keep trying firing it because maybe it can be considered dry firing since nothing is happening when I pull the trigger….i don’t want this to turn into a 1000+ dollar paperweight! Is there anybody else that has gone through this problem?

New, you need to call Air Force.

How much air is in it?

 

[starlingassn]

first the obvious question.......does it have air in it?

empty tank = click

Full tank

 

[starlingassn]

if its full and only clicking,i say youre not cocking it fully.

-OR-

youre reading the gauge wrong and its actually empty and not full.

The last new gun I got from AirForce had no air in the tank. So you are saying it was full when they shipped it to you brand new?

No I had to pull up the top and fill it

Try cranking the power wheel up, way up!!

 

[Rob_in_NC]

ok, so what did you fill it to?

 

[shambozzie]

Sound like valve lock. Could be here stuffed the cf tank high fill and not enough force to crack valve.

That's what I'm wondering, which is why I asked what he filled to. If 'full'... then ooops.... haha

What’s your power wheel at? If too low it will do as described. Do you have a picture of your psi gauge?

What happened to the pellet that you loaded and attempted to fire? Just wanted to make sure that it didn't inter the barrel and not exit, hopefully not followed by any other pellets.

Air Force must be on holiday. They USUALLY have great customer service. A lot of my customers were closed until 1/2/25 and are digging out of their inbox.

I would try contacting them again. A little frustrating but I highly doubt you screwed anything up, Air Force guns are pretty damn robust.

ALWAYS TREAT EVERY GUN AS LOADED. POINT IN A SAFE DIRECTION BEFORE TRYING TO FIRE.

Do not worry about firing a PCP without a pellet in the barrel. No damage can occur, only louder than normal report and waisted air.

1. What does the tank gauge say? How did you fill the rifle up?

2. What is the power wheel set to?

3. Have you watched any videos on youtube yet?

4. Air Force rifles are hunting rigs, so they are not the easiest to cock? Are you sure the rifle is cocked? The power wheel could be cranked way up, causing the bolt to be very hard to operate.

My power wheel is getting messed up from using an Allen key to turn it…it is alwyas supposed to be tough to turn? Oh and my gauge is filled full but not to the red

Picture of the gauge in my last message, filled through compressor

Power wheel photo in last message as well

No YouTube videos having to do with my problem but I did watch multiple times on how to put the spin loc on

The gun so actually Easy to cock is that a problem? I remmeber when I first cocked it there was some resistance but now none at all
