I purchased a RAW HM1000LRT middle of December. It’s been sitting in the box as I am waiting on a scope I ordered, so it has not yet been fired with pellets. I did cock it and pull the trigger 2x just to see if it was as light as all the reviews said. The trigger felt great. The gauge read 100 bar at the time, so I figured it was OK to dry fire. Pulled it out of the box again yesterday to fit it to my bench rest mounts and the gauge read zero. I tried to fill it with my tank, but it just leaked air out the barrel. I then cocked it and tried again and it filled just fine. Filled it to 200 bar and let let it sit overnight. This morning it was down to 150 bar. I filled it to 210 bar and will check it tomorrow. I have not checked anything with soapy water but cannot hear or feel any leakage. I’ve got a couple of questions, as I am no airgun guru:
1) Is this leakage normal for a RAW? My 2 Marauders don’t leak at all after hundreds of rounds fired. Does it need a break-in normally?
2). Unrelated, but is there a way to decock this thing? The manual is pretty disappointing for such a high-dollar gun and doesn’t reference this, nor can I find any reference online to this.
Any help is appreciated, and I apologize for my newbishness.
