OK, so far:
1. I have checked and reset barrel - Not fouling the magazine
2. I have opened up the entire indexing mechanism. No damage or anything strange found and all parts are there as per schematic. Sprayed a light coat of silicone spray in there and on all parts. Reassembled correctly twice.
3. Replaced trigger spring ensuring it is on the correct side. All in spec and holds trigger blade to the left. Safety works. Trigger grub screw adjusted so that only a fraction of a mm movement before opening valve when set to fire. All seems fine.
4. Magazine rotates freely when breach is opened and aligns with barrel every time.
5. Magazine clicks into the space between pellet chambers when breach is closed, like a half click. Seems to be catching on something between the breach when closed. Unsure if this is normal?
6. Gun is full of air. Regulator is approx 130bar. Full power puck fitted.
It has to be one of the following:
Theory 1. "Disconnecter" pin has excessive forward play, likely due to a spring failure that is in front of it as it seems designed to restrict its free movement forward. Mine has no tension for 3mm or so back and forth without too much force so that the valve pin is depressed and gun fires. I am being careful to put very light pressure on it by using a very lightly magnetised 3mm allen key. As a result of the excessive play front to back, it is hopping the trigger blade and keeping the blade to the right of the "disconnecter" pin so it will not reset in front of the pin again for next shot. This also binds the breach from opening as they are side by side against each other. Possibly explains new rough marring to the magazine roller arm I dint notice before.
I have inspected breach from above with a flashlight. Magazine and puck removed.
After the shot, trigger blade jumps to the Right of the "disconnecter" pin and gets stuck there. I dont think the pin should be that far out personally.
I may tap the gun on its butt after a shot to see if it releases the breach that way and even possibly allows the mag to rotate as it has a tendency to not rotate at all sometimes now after the shot when I try turn it manually!
As an interesting side note, if the gun is fully depressurised. If I set the gun to fire and pull the trigger, I get a nice trigger pull over and over and you can see it pushing the "disconnecter" back and forth as it should. Put it on safe, you can feel it is on safe and see the blade go down. This is repeatable and it is not jumping to the side as it does when the gun is filled and takes a shot. The breach will only jam closed when depressurised if you rotate the magazine manually simulating what happens during a live shot as the magazine fouls the side locking blade the pin locates into when closed.
I think both issues are just one issue causing both. I really think its Theory 1.
Theory 2. Despite everything seeming fine with the indexing mechanism and all parts accounted for and seem undamaged. It is somehow not operating correctly. I gave studied it and understand how it works. The air blast pushed up on the sealing cone at bottom, plunging the vertical part with the plastic bit upwards and moving the actuator wheel that has its protruding "key blade" inside the "keyhole" cutout opening of the vertical plastic part. Both are sprung so upon finishing its upward cycle, it pushes mag over and mag clicks in place, the actuator wheel has a rounded back edge that allows the lighter spring to move back slightly and the part resets back ready for next shot with magazine in correct alignment.
Problem is, mine aint doing this after 3.5 months all of a sudden and nothing has changed since I last used it a few days again and most days before that since November.
I cant think of what else it may be, its probably something very minor but makes my gun completely inoperable!
I hope I have some hair left after all of this!
@EDgun @EDgunWest - I know you guys are very, very busy, but I would greatly appreciate it if you had some insight for me, this is a rather awful failure to have and has rendered my beautiful gun useless...I would be forever in your debt!
Thank you!!!
