    I need some input on disassembling my Umarex Fusion 2.

    Summary of correspondence with Umarex: "We do not have a breakdown for that model." "Unfortunately we do not provide any type of gunsmithing advice. That model is not meant to be taken apart." ....It may be time to break out the dremmel.

    I need some input on disassembling my Umarex Fusion 2.

    Thank you for taking the time to help. I found the parts diagram for the 1st gen Fusion, but it is very different than the Fusion 2. https://i1.wp.com/spares.bagnallandkirkwood.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Umarex-Fusion-Diagram.jpg

    I need some input on disassembling my Umarex Fusion 2.

    My thread in the Resources section isn't getting much lovin' so I thought I'd ask here for some assistance. (Threads here look like they get hundreds of views. My thread in Resources is currently sitting at 22 views.)...

    Need Help with Umarex Fusion 2 Disassembly to Fix Leak

    I believe I need to take this apart further to clean or rebuild the poppet and/or other parts still in this 'receiver'. Any pointers on how to get the remaining parts out? And, fwiw, I'm dealing with a persistent leak out the barrel that drains the CO2 cylinders down within minutes. I hear a...

    Take her to a thrift store to pick out some meaningful and fun targets. Cheap toys, glass plates, $1 wristwatch?

    Some classifieds be like…

    I'm slowly moving towards listing my .20 cal HW98 FS. I'd welcome anyone in the Denver, CO area to come punch some paper and cardboard with it, bring a chronograph, or anything else. It's my first and only springer, and I don't care for the strange recoil and noise.

    Fusion 2 Magazine stuck

    I've put about 300 rounds through my Fusion 2 and not had that problem. With that said, can you rotate the magazine wheel 'backwards' with the bolt fully back? If not, then you might have some debris (part of a pellet? or a broken off plastic chunk of the magazine?) lodged between the front of...

    It appears the deceased owner was a true enthusiast, as the rifle case included pre and post tuning tests for a HW55 done by "John of PA". I've emailed John of PA to see if he's worked on my newly acquired HW98. The previous owner appears to have been named John Czosnyka, based on a Google...

    Well, I ended up with only the HW98. Oh how I was looking forward to replacing seals and spring in that FWB; I even read the threads on how to do it and had a spring compressor rig all laid out in my mind. The Spanish-speaking guys lined up just in front of me before the doors opened made a...

    Can these be dry fired without damaging them, esp. the FWB? And would I be able to tell if one needed seals that way?

    Would it be sacrilege to ask if any of them can be fitted with moderators? I'm starting to ponder if I can fit all 3 into my existing gun safe capacity.

    This is my first post here. I grew up in the 1970s shooting a Crossman 760 Powermaster pumper and absolutely wore that thing out. Decades later I'm shooting a cheap a** Umarex Fusion II CO2 rifle for pest control. And when I ran across these 3 beauties at an estate sale a few blocks from home...
