Hey guys -- I've recently purchased a .22 Vulcan 3 w/the 500mm choked barrel and have had it now for about a week.
Synopsis: all in all I'm happy with it - I purchased it specifically to shoot 18g pellets on my farm permissions and had my seller configure it with the airtube in the "non-power plenum" mode - ie: I want the higher shot count as opposed to lots of power. ( 18g pellets - not going to shoot 'em mush faster than low 900's anyway . . . don't need a ton of power for that ). He did and it shoots them quite well - even out to longer distances - ie; 80, 90 and even 100 yards.
I'm having an issue with one of the magazines "sticking" though that is driving me up the wall - I've missed shots as a result of "shooting" a pigeon with a blast of air. Grrrrrrr. ;-( I wind up having to cock it, pop the mag out, manually rotate it to the next shot, reload it then fire. It only does this on the 3rd, 4th and occasionally the 5th shots. After it gets past shot #4 (or sometimes 5) it then cycles the remaining pellets just fine.
Have any of you seen this and if so - might you have a fix / solution to make it go away?
Thanks . . .
