My R5M was empty. Last time I looked I thought it was fully charged. So a leak needs to be found unless the adult grandson has been shooting it without topping it off. My fill tank is empty and I was just going to do simple. The fill probe was not sealing so I was wanting to hand pump still. Tried changing the O-rings and it still wouldn't seal. Wondered if when completely empty it needed more pressure to start it sealing. I could crank up the Coltri. Just wondering about the whole business. Anyone with R5M experience? TIA and Be Well, Bandito.
N/A Hand pump not filling R5M?

- Start date
Not sure if the hammer spring is strong enough when not cocked, to hold the valve open. Try cocking the gun and filling to see if the valve closes then.

I watched a Video today where a Guy bought a JTS Airacuda, He said He had a Hand pump. The whole video was Him trying to pump it up from 0 psi. Finally He said that it took 575 Pumps to get to 3000. lol Never did show him shooting it.

I am not a high volume shooter so hand pumping is not a chore for me. There is always a time when you can't shoot so that is the time to top off the guns.

I have forgotten something in the order of operation here. It would not take air from the Hill pump. So I started the Coltri and it would not take air. It is cocked now. But I removed an extension hose and went straight from the extra drier to the gun. No leaks are apparent. Will work on it tomorrow evening. I have spring and gas piston conventional guns which will work. Be Well, Bandito.

Back to this. I left it alone in frustration. Didn't want to tear something up. Turned on the Coltri and couldn't get past 35 bar ( approximately ) . After shutting the compressor down I could hear the leak from below and inside the bolt opening, I think. Hearing aids help but direction is difficult to detect sometimes. Anyone with experience with the R5M specifically? Again, thanks in advance. Be Well, Bandito.
