Hi everyone,
I recently acquired a first gen FX Impact in .25 caliber. The gun has worked flawlessly with JSB Kings. For some reason I decided to try some En Jin pellets and the very first one miss feed and got jammed between the magazine and barrel. The magazine would not release from the gun.
So being paranoid to not damage the gun (which I obviously have done), I removed the bottle and then (is this were I screwed up?) lightly open the threads on the regulator gauge to release the remaining air. I then proceeded to remove the check piece and the right rear side by the magazine. The jammed pellet was removed and I reassembled the gun and attached the bottle. In hind sight, I assume I did not need to degas the gun to remove the jammed pellet?
Everything looked good, regulator gauge back to 135. I loaded a pellet and pulled the trigger, click, and NOTHING!! Now when I remove the bottle, all the air from the regulator is released at the same time the bottle is removed.
So what the heck did I do wrong so I won't do it again? Is this a broken valve stem? Is it something the average person could fix or is it time to consult a professional to repair it? And if I have to send it out for repair, should i also upgrade to the high capacity magazine? Power Plenum? AMP regulator?
Thanks for any and all feedback, especially the ones that point out my errors.
