Shake, rattle and roll (or shoot). No, seriously- it appears as if the bolt isn't retracting far enough to allow proper pellet loading- it would need to be some sort of 'tilt an drop' loading method to work based on the picture. _________________ ` I'd say "I care."

Improper installation of the muffler belt with an improper-sized Johnson wrench? _________________ ¡Listo! ¡Apunte! ¡Fuego!   Posted: Sun Jul 01, 2012 1:31 pm rsterne Moderator Joined: 15 Jan 2008 Posts: 2998 Location: Coalmont, BC I think Eric has it.... The O-ring is too large to slide back into the bore of the breech.... Bob _________________ Dominion Marksman Silver Shield - 5890 x 6000 in 1976, and downhill ever since!

The correct answer is there is nothing wrong, it's a 25 cal 2240. Possibly the fresh application of Oring grease might be skewing the perspective _________________ Sean   Posted: Sun Jul 01, 2012 4:49 pm AirGunEric Site Admin Joined: 20 Jan 2007 Posts: 6929 Location: "Out There" I would have to disagree with the idea of "power if suggestion"- there was no 'suggestion'- it was a statement posed as a rhetorical question. Had it been asked "is there something wrong here?" this might be more akin to 'suggestion'. _________________ ` I'd say "I care." But I'd be lying.
