Hey guys! I was testing ammo yesterday. Noticed it started hissing when I would pull cocking lever back. If open it’s hissing. Shot few more shots notice it getting worse. Two days before this. My regular stuck and I had to degas my gun. Adjust regular all the way out and made couple turns in to get it to start working again. Still waiting on response from talon tunes. To see if I should be having this many problems from a two month old gun. Any ideas on how to fix? Hopefully just an oring deal. But someone on here said might be valve issue. How do you test to find out? Thanks for info! Hope everyone has blessed day!

Its a valve issue most likely ... you'll probably have to crack open and redo the back end of your P3. Granted, my experience was with that issue on a P2. Contact RTI, they'll take care of you. In my case, they sent out a new valve. Great rifle, hope you get it sorted out.

Def. give Tony a call as he is the dealer and service center state side. That regulator may have caused the other issue, I wouldn't trust it. FWIW I have one in 25 cal and have easily put north of 1500 shots through it with not a single issue outside of one stuck slug that wasn't the rifles fault.

I shot tony a text the other day. I’m sure I’ll hear back from him after holidays. I’m thinking the same about regular causing other problem. Mine is 25cal also. And I’ve shot it a lot since I’ve had it. Was hoping to try n50 with her. She is a great hunter also.

It’s your valve. Just get a new one. I think we had this discussion before about guns. As they advance, sometimes those advancements come at a price. Yes us balance valve guys are a step ahead of the P1 guys in several areas, but the old school P1 platform has the tried and true PCP engine. Eventually the balance valve engine will be the tried and true PCP when we advance to something else. Maybe.
