Yeah he's a nice old guy, lives by himself, widowed. My son really likes going over there to fish and target shoot. He's one of those guys that seems to know a lot about...everything. We talk cars and motorcycles and guns and TX history and all kinda stuff. We take the golden retriever puppy...

Man. Moved to TX, and I have a neighbor (retired) who gives me/my 10 year old son an airgun from his long-ago stash pretty much every time we go see him. Are all Texans this friendly? :-) He has given us 2 pistols and a rifle so far. Such a nice great older guy. Pretty much every time we walk...

Hiya. First off, yes, you should buy the OEM valve seal and o-ring. Cheap. I checked back and bought mine off ebay. I did not buy from this guy, but it was a kit like this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/175206020786?hash=item28cb17b6b2:g:2WUAAOSwqGJh9TeX I did also buy the trigger spring. I may...

They wrote back. Only 5 parts for that gun. Spring is not one of them.

Just checked and did not see it listed on their site. I emailed them to see if they happen to have it though.

Thanks. I'll check their site now. Had no idea it was a common thing.

I checked on their site first, and they would not ship any of the pistols on sale. Might be different in your zip code, but for Dallas area I had to find which stores had them and go in. I'd say you were lucky if they still had any in stock. Around here I had to hit up 3 stores to find any, and...

Put a new valve in it just now, and...no leaking from the barrel end! Have not shot it yet (no indoor range), but just pumping it and pulling the trigger sure sounds and feels like old times! Not sure what was wrong with the old valve, but if yours is giving you trouble, just start by buying the...

My Walmart today here in Texas had the Umarex Walther PPK for $15 and the Umarex 1911 for $15. I bought two of each. The 1911 was originally $89. The Walther was $59 I think. The guy who sold them to me said they are selling all of them at a loss in order to clear them out.

Hmmm...the BB advancement thing seems to be fixed, and the CO2 seal seems to be fixed, but...the trigger sticks (and sticks hard) after every other pull. Doesn't come back easily either. If you fire rapidly, it's better, but the "aim slowly and shoot with purpose" thing sticks it at the rear of...

New valve coming in today. Should know something soon.

Well, I'm at a point where I need to try something else. The idea of using a drill to pull/grind a "seal" into the Delrin didn't work. The drill won't cut a "seal" into the Delrin: it's too hard of a surface. Barely scratches it. I did fine-sand the top of the metal seal edge that meets that...

Yep. Fun little pistol for sure. I’m still having issues with the trigger sticking after every pull. If I pull at the very top of the trigger it seems to do better, but pulling right in the finger rest part of it sticks nearly every time. Any ideas?

Still stumped. Pulled it back down again, back together, still air escaping, and pulled it down again. I opened the brass valve again, checked all the 0-rings, cleaned everything in alcohol inside and out, put the valve back together, and hooked up a compressor (with a rubber tip on the hose)...

I think I have it fixed. I backed off the cap head set screw that holds the barrel half a turn. I think I had it too tight, not letting the BBs into the barrel. I could get a shot off occasionally, but I'm guessing a BB would get stuck, and only exit the barrel once I put 10-12 trigger pulls to...
