Airforce Texan .35 Schematics

[apslatton]

anyone have schematics to break it down and rebuild? mine leaks all the air out after shooting it a few times but stops once it is cocked to shoot again. searching the web and it seems they are non existent??

did that and still no reply a week later lol

I dont see anyway that cocking the gun can seal air. Mine was leaking somewhere so I took the bottle off got a pan and put enough water in it to submerge the forster fitting and the gauge up to its threadxs...mystery solved. leaking from gauge threads and fill threads.

dont know all i know is it does. after shooting it a few times it blows all the air unless its recocked. once i get schematics ill fix

is that a plenum and regulator between the bottle and the gun?

im going to say yes, gun came this way. i dont know much about airguns still

 

[jasperjet]

I think that the plenum is filling up too slow after you fire the gun hence not enough pressure to push the hammer back . turning the regulator should help. Maybe someone will chime in that has experience with these.

I think your on to something there he has to cock it to take pressure off of it to see if it then seals up faster

 

[Airgunmann]

Did it come with the Texan valve too ?

 

[apslatton]

yea it came as shown. as soon as I cock the gun it seals but if I don't it sits there and empties the tank. and this is literally every few shots it does it

 

[apslatton]

So much so that my M4 will be here today and I almost don't even care anymore lol tho it would be nice to get it figured out and fixed if i did decide to try a deer with later this year

Ater looking at the plenum / regulator idk if id use it one spot says 250 bar the gauge shows red after 200 bar just my opinion

Its hard to say there may have been a return spring in the valve that some one left out for power reasons
Wouldn't know for sure but that would be a educated guess

 

[apslatton]

From what I can tell it's a 200 bar gun unless you do the carbon fiber tank and then you can run it at 250. this was a built gun so I assume the gauge just never got changed to match

ok maybe you can back off the power wheel a turn so the hammer spring will have less preload but if it were me id figure out how to adjust the regulator someone on this forum knows all about that v3 regulator you got

I agree hopefully some one with more knowledge will chime in on the v3
