Easy way to degass without having to loosen anything is to hook up fill line crack your big tank valve open or hand pump it till it clicks then STOP close the tank valve knob then SLOWLY! unscrew release the bleed nut from tank or hand pump and STOP! as soon as it begins to hiss A LITTLE then let go walk away let it hiss slowly and it should bleed down to zero.
 
Most likely it's one of 2 things.

1) Incorrectly adjusted trigger.

2) Hammer spring has too much preload. (Just needs to be backed off slightly.)

My suspicion is that the issue is the trigger adjustment. VERY easy to fix! As simple as backing out the sear engagement screw a touch...maybe not even a whole revolution. (As previously described)

Let us know how it plays out,ok?

Thanks!

I would bet all it needs is the sear adjusted properly. It's a very easy process that you'll probably adjust any ways to get the trigger where you like it. Its one Allen screw but you have to remove the action from the stock. There's a good video on YT that shows how to do this. You'll be glad you did. There's nothing to worry about as this is just a standard trigger adjustment most users do to their guns to get them feeling the way they want.
 
is there supposed to be 8 baffles? or did someone at factory get drunk?

Great news!

Haven't even taken my Akela baffles out but they normally face like a backwards funnel.

Like the pellets shoot into small end of the funnels. 

There may be a spring inside if there's looseness or space or you could add a weak thin wire spring thin the size of the inner diameter shroud and cut to fit. Longer than needed is good you are compressing it when screwing in the shroud endcap.

I would guess the spring goes in last.

Wrap the spring with oiled scotch brite if you want it quieter.

Wahoo! You are on the way to PCP happiness. I like to have a little safety margin. Be sure to adjust and test several times before you trust. An accidental discharge is bad news. Cock the gun and tap the stock firmly with a rubber mallet. If you are too close to the edge, the gun will fire uncommanded.

Shoot'em good and be happy.
