how are you trying to fill it ? compressor, hand pump or bottle/tank ?
if completely empty......
to seat the valve/poppet, you must "shock charge" it with a blast of air from a 4500 psi tank.
just a thought, good luck !

you might have a piece of lead in the transfer port that held the valve open when you cleared the jam.
another guess.....good luck !

the piledriver is a very simple gun, easy to disassemble and troubleshoot.
i'm working on 4 years with my .457 and its been an awesome hunting machine.
i have not had any problems from mine.

sounds like valve/poppet is stuck or broke, could be a seal or o-ring too..... it needs to be looked at.

Make sure you post what you find fixes the problem so if others have a similar problem they can try the same thing.
I too am thinking that the problem is the poppet/valve seat and that maybe some shaved leaf is keeping the poppet from sealing to the valve seat.

It’s under warranty . I’ll send it back to the place I bought it from . I’ll post when I find out the issue
