Hi all, just pumped up my brocock commander ready for a session on rabbits tomorrow and when i bleed off the air from the pump all the air decided to bleed from the gun to. Do i just need to service the filler port on the gun to resolve this?
Fill problem.
- Thread starter Nobby91
- Start date
Maybe a drop of pure sillycone oil in the port time to time to lube the fill check valve thingy.. just sounds like its sticking open.. me id just tap it with a screwdriver handle to knock it in place

Here we go again . . . same Brocock fill valve issue. I and a couple others have created threads on this issue - it's a faulty / difficult to work on fill valve that is the culprit. They have an updated valve that I think solves this issue now. I'll dig around and link you to one of those previous threads.
I'll refrain from again calling this a stupid design flaw so that l.leon won't have to come into this thread to defend Brocock
EDIT: here is the last thread on this topic, which also contains links to my previous thread about it as well as thread with the eventual fix:

Strange filling issue, bleeding hose empties cylinder?!
This issue is consistent with bottle and compressor, and only affects 1 of my pcps.. It’s my Brocock atomic xr. So once the gun is filled up and I stop the pump or close the bottle. When I open the bleed valve slowly all the air from the cylinder leaks out! Now.. if I do everything the same...

I had the issue once with my Compatto and once with my Bantam HR. In the case of the Bantam? I inadvertently blasted HPA into the valve and dislodged the Oring there. A simple O ring replacement fixed the Compatto, on the Bantam I simply pushed the Oring back into the groove it got blown out of. My Atomic XR which I pump by hand, by choice, has not leaked at all. It is such a simple fix, it really is a non issue. Not the “stoopid design flaw” some want to blow it up to be.
The only things that I go Atomic on, are those pesky grain stealing pests. The results prove time after time what an awesome little platform it is.

It is definitely up my alley since I prefer the carbine guns. I really like the bantam sniper and hope to get one someday.I had the issue once with my Compatto and once with my Bantam HR.
