I presently do not have any CO2 guns. I have one on back order, an Airbug. I don't why it would make a difference. I have seen videos of them being tested with CO2 guns.

Yes, but I don't think that is the way it is meant to be used. I think you do put the muzzle up on the ledge of the hole or just an inch or two away. Mine seems to me giving the right readings.

The AC5000 has about 1 inch hole to shoot through. I doubt that end of the barrel should be very far. I think you doing it right but the results are wrong. I have no idea why.

I had one but sold it. Mine did not come with the trigger bolt installed. If memory serves the threaded hole was there but no screw.

Thanks

I believe he was using smooth jaw Knipex pliers like these. What would you use?

This might be helpful.

Which parts don't fit?

Still, I would like to know why this happens. What is the mechanism that causes some of the air to be blocked? Why would over oiling cause this?

Yep, dry firing does work.

I will keep shooting for now, but here is what I noticed. My first 2 or 3 were low, about an inch in 20 feet. When I reloaded, it was harder to open the cocking arm, then air pressure still in pushes the lever open. When it shoots right, and it mostly does, it shoots accurate, and it cocks like...

I think I may have put too much oil in. The oil was added at the foam wiper. The gun became a little erratic. It fires and may be improving. What does over oiling do? And how is it fixed? It was oiled with silicon oil, and It was a gun I resealed in the more recent past.

It stopped doing it today. I did oil it yesterday, and it was still doing it, but it has stopped for now. I ran 5 shots through the chrono, and they were all above 380 with the first being just over 390 fps. I may take a center punch and make a couple of divots in the bolt where it won't be...

New bolts are cheap but why would that be a fix? The existing ones are in good condition.
