Refilling an AT44

[LaPineHunter]

Recently i mistakenly shot all the air out of my Hatsan AT44, and now it will not refill with air, would any of our members know of any tips on how to get the rifle to start accepting air again (i've got a lot of squirrels over-running us!)..Thank you

Make sure it's unloaded, and cock it. Then try filling again.

May need a quick burst of air after cocking to keep the hammer off. Or you should be able to remove the tube on the AT44 and wont have to worry about cocking the gun. If you are hand pumping, will be a bit harder to get that initial burst of air.

You can also deliberately double feed 2 pellets to force a seal from zero start pressure to pump it if you don't have a tank.
