Quality issue with Brocock Sniper XR Magnun

[tfjensen]

Hi 

Just curious if other has experienced quality issues with the Brocock Sniper Magnum XR?

I bought a Sniper Magnum XR 4 week ago and until now I have experienced a sideleaver falling apart and a filling valve that has been failing twice - not impressive for a gun that should be high quality.

Filling too fast can/will dislodge Oring at inlet valve. As for the side lever failing? Twice? Something is wrong as Brococks are typically solid PCPs. Post up some images of your dislocated lever? Could help someone diagnose the issue. Good luck.

If you fill too fast it creates friction and that makes heat which in turn cooks the o rings making them brittle then they fail. Get in the habit of filling VERY slowly and your problem will disappear.

Thanks for the advice - I will try to see if this will solve the problem.
