Its back together, but leaks a bit as I pump. It will shoot and hole air pretty well. After about 6 pumps it dosen't leak anylonger I KNOW its the check valve or its spring... but all the troubles I had getting it together... its gonna stay that way!
I should get my 1965 Sheridan back by the end of the month. Once I do I will probably just send this one out to Timmy for some love and affection.
Did you by chance put in a stronger than original hammer spring, stretch the original spring longer, or add a spacer to the end of it? If so, the hammer spring may be overcoming the check valve spring, causing your leakage.
Regardless, you can sometimes work around the problem by cocking the gun and engaging the safety before you start pumping. This removes the hammer from the check valve stem, allowing the seal to (hopefully) seat.
No changes what so ever. Sans the MAC1 supplied nylon valve to replace brass/rubber stock piece.
I did try cocking first, doesn't seem to make any difference.
I also had a extra part!!
Any ideas? This did not come out of my rifle, but came in the parts bag from Tim.
Its approx 1/4'' around, about 1/4+'' tall and metal. I haven't a clue...
Personally, The very front spring, was not great, I used it anyhow. Also after dropping that nylon part in it never came out again... it wouldn't OR better described, I could not get it out...
I Posted this up over on GTA forums where Timmy has a home base. He has commented earlier before I made this rebuild. Hopefully he will post up.
Its not all bad, as I said, I can shoot it and it seems to have good power. If the rain lets up I'll set up the crony and shoot to see. Some reason I cannot get it to work in the house. I have tried extra lights, screens, no screens makes no difference. refuses to work in the house. But works perfect outside...
Thanks for the help and tips brother!
