    Gxcs1 help.

    I've tried about 30 times now and I can't get the bleed valve o ring right it gets up to 4000psi and then blows does anyone else have this issue? Has someone found a solution? Next try is another o ring and maybe some Teflon to back it up I guess.

    Bottle regulator threads not lining up.

    I have a G1 Gauntlet and want to upgrade the bottle to 4500psi. I've now mistakenly purchased two different bottles with the thread size 9f m18x1.5 instead of 5/8 18unf is this a normal problem that I just need to get an extra part for? Or is it that these paintball regulators don't fit those on...

    Umarex gauntlet 25 help.

    So I tried the haj mod to the regulator on the original. It's a gen 1. After I charge it up the gun performed worse shooting at around 600fps. I went to take the shims in the regulator out and the threads of the bonnet turned to dust. The tank was free or pressure. I'm finding now with the new...

    Umarex gauntlet 25 help.

    I appreciate the feedback. I tried shimming the regulator this time but being stuck with a hand pump for now the experiments to tune this gun are very physically taxing.

    Umarex gauntlet 25 help.

    I had to change the regulator because the threads shredded during maintenance. Got a new reg set at 2200psi. Fps is all over the place unless my tank read below 2000psi.

    Pump explosion.

    Here's the pump I built out of the blown up one and parts from a junk one. I'm very consistent with maintenance because my first experience with these pumps were not spectacular. The first pump was not finished at all and shredded o-rings daily. I got these from ntk outdoors and they replaced...

    Pump explosion.

    Here is the third stage piston tube where the bang came from. If you ever hear compressed air in your second stage tube while doing maintenance your threads may be compromised.

    Pump explosion.

    I do alot of my own fabrication on parts. When I switched over to HPA I purchased a tap an die set because of all of the moving parts. I'm looking into a compressor when I purchase my next PCP.

    Pump explosion.

    It's a Beeman pump but looking over most hand pumps it's just like any other pump from China. Does anyone know the o ring sizes for the hand pumps? I've got a metric and a standard kit and none of the o rings line up.

    Pump explosion.

    Sorry I'm new to this forum and didn't see the reply button on your comment. Yes exploded under 3000psi. Shot everywhere. Failure at the threads of the third stage piston where it meets the check valve.

    Pump explosion.

    The literal pump exploded at the third stage piston threads. It blew out of my hands and across the room. Good thing I was the only one in the room.

    Pump explosion.

    Recently had my hand pump explode. I know the solution is to switch to a compressor but for now I was able to "Frankenstein" a new pump from two bad ones. Has anyone had a similar experience?
