N/A Dry firing an ASG CO2 revolver

[craz4gunz]

I bought this ASG CO2 model revolver (I wont insult by using the Dan Wesson name here) and it arrived DOA (gun was locked up tight) .
Amazon refunded my money with no problems and told me to keep the gun since returns were not being accepted for this one.
The gun sat for months not finding any replacement parts (cylinder rotates in BOTH directions but wont index with trigger or hammer pull).
I'm using it now to practice my trigger technique with dry firing. Maybe I'll learn to fix it one day. I figure it can't do any more harm.
Comments?

you cannot hurt what is already broken
but the gun has value you have parts that no one can find, and some will snatch it up as quick as can be
will the pounding on the valve over time hurt the valve, it could
these are not cheap pistols so broken or not they have value as parts

I was thinking of parts also. We'll see how the gun holds up.
I've replaced it with the Dan Wesson 715 version, which is a much better build.
Thanks for your reply.

i will tell you i love the look of the 715 but it makes no sense and here is why

why the hell don't the barrels match the length of the guns
i spend a lot of time on a UK forum and the boys in the UK are huge replica gun buyers and love the 715 but for the barrel length in pellet of course the 2 and 5 inch are close but the 6 inch is not
and i am not a huge cart style loading system

in any case good luck been nice to post with you

ok thanks. I'll try to contact them to see what they say. Evike said the company was not providing repair parts to US.

 

[marflow 777]

but it has how to take the gun apart and i see what could have failed
when you go to repair then go to online tech resources and there is a complete picture and writeup on how to take the gun apart
i can't get the PDF to work here
