AGT Vixen Problems

[Roberto Biliato]

I got a AGT Vixen Long .22, on my third time fill bottle it doesn't work, no filling at all, and before, with 100psi left, when I pull the lever to load a pellets, the air all came out. What could be happened?
Does any one had this before?

Thanks

Vero thank you, Pesty3782.

Sounds like you may have shot "down" past (or lower than) the regulator pressure.
Your last shot should not be with a lower cylinder pressure than the regulator setting.
That is, if the regulator setting is 125 bar, stop and refill the cylinder at a about 140 bar.

Oh, are you sure?

Thanks for the answer!

And how can I fill it again? I tried as a normal but it doesn't fill!

Explain..."doesn't fill".

Does air go into the cylinder, but leaks out right away ? If so, where does the air leak from...the end of the barrel or the breach ?
Or - When you pressurize the cylinder, "no air" goes into the cylinder ?

Fully explain what happens when you try to fill the cylinder.

The air comes from when I pull the lever to cocking at the back, looks like at the valve Controler!

If it's leaking through the valve if you try filling it up with the gun cocked With the safety on and the muzzle pointed down. I had the same problem with my vixen what I got at new. It kept leaking and I forgot that depending on the valve design having the hammer on the valve may push it opened all the time.

I did some work to the regulator of one of my guns the other day. After putting it back together, I could not get the "release" valve to close, and as you say, pressure just went in from my air cylinder, and right out the barrel.
I tried with the cocking lever closed, I tried with the cocking lever open, but not...in the full cocked position, AND with the cocking lever in the "full cocked" position. Nothing worked.

One of my attempts to fill, I used my thumb to plug the barrel port on the receiver (the barrel was not in place).
As the air went into the guns cylinder and then into the receiver, it was stopped by my thumb. All it took was about 1-1/2 seconds, of this and the release valve closed, and I was able to fully fill the gun with air. No problems have risen from this early leak.

Give it a try, can't hurt and no, it is not dangerous to your thumb.

Have you contacted the seller or Air Gun Technology for help ?

I found the problem on mine. It was one rubber ring damaged, it was cracked!

I take the air bottle out. The handle grip out. Take out that three valve bouts out and just press the center set of the valve from narrow side to in and it came out, I saw the rubber damaged, I changed it and mount up all and it is perfect now!

Thanks for every one support
