Looking for some advise I have a p2.1 that's blowing air from the hole above hammer/probe where you can see into the action. It's a blast of air with every shot fired any ideas what it is ?

RTI Prophet 2 serious problem
Hi to everyone who owns a Prophet 2. A friend of mine owns one, and he has the air burst on his cheek, so he checked the pellet probe oring, but it was ok, so after some inspection, he found out that there's a tiny hole that goes from the back of the valve (where the port aligns). It seems to be...

Unfortunately I cannot help.
Both my Prophets are V1s - I was hesitant to try a V2 with the new balanced value. Also, I only shoot pellets and the V2 barrels in .22 & .25 were optimized for slugs - huge transfer ports and faster twist rates.

When the hammer move forward to strike the valve all air what is in front of the hammer must going somewhere.

Maybe if the hammer is un-vented, in which case that is a poor design. A vented hammer shouldn't generate a puff of air so severe you feel it, certainly less so in a balanced valve.

While I could feel air sometimes coming out the hammer vent hole on my Priest l and Priest ll, I haven’t noticed it on my P2. Like Stubbers mentioned, maybe because the P2’s hammer looks like a strainer helps. But because the face of the hammer is still solid, it could force some air. Even though they stuck an oring in the hole I have circled, just like my previous RTI’s, I’ve had an issue with air coming out this hole. Just like my other RTI’s, when I wrap this screw with Teflon tape, that problem goes away.

It's not coming from there it's from the hammer vent hole I'll see what rti say and let you all know the outcome

Too much grease in there? I know when I get any gun that usually comes apart and gets cleaned. Then I put my own elixir on my hammers.

No I never got to the bottom of it. Tried the o ring on barrel retaining screw new breech seals etc just put it down to the hammer. I moved it on to a friend who's more than happy withbit I have my old p1 performance lr barrelled rifle back now

Hello. It is air that leaks through the throttle stem that passes through the block. The picture of the p2 (from the internet) is not accurate, it differs from my P2 in that the valve seat and internal block are not flat, but it allows you to understand how the stem and the block are joined. According to my crony, nothing to worry about, although it is somewhat annoying. The design of the p3 (internet picture) is improved. There are also photos of the valve seat and the inside of the block on my PP2

Well, if that’s the case, there’s really no way to fix it. I’ve replaced the probe O ring and the ones on the barrel, also the one under the barrel screw. It’s really annoying and loud in the ear.

Replacing the 0ring on the barrel cured my puff of air in my face on my RTI 2
