Tuning Brand New Uragan .30 won’t fill.

Contact Zx10wall, Derrick Wall is the USA service center for all things AGT. He will set you on the right path.

You can find his phone number on the AGT website for US dealers. Here it is to save you some time looking it up.

If you can't get ahold of him I will be glad to work with you to help find the issue. I have had mine do this same thing when I replaced my reg and poppet valve. Just send me a PM.

Did you pull the bolt back before you filled it? On some guns you need to do that on the initial fill.

Can you feel or hear where the air is coming out of the gun at? You may be right to that a faster initial burst may seat the valve better.

On the Uragan compact I had trouble getting it to fill after adjusting the reg. I was using a nomad compressor, I had to cock the gun, turn safety on and bump the Butt plate straight down. I bumped it on an old book so it didn’t damage anything it seated the valve and air stopped coming out of the barrel. 

Ontarget,

My .25 Uragan arrived two days ago and I'm having the same problem. I'm using a new Huma fill probe (#1178) designed for the Uragan, but no luck. My Yong Heng fills my other PCPs fine, just can't build any pressure with Uragan. Tried hand pump and could hear air escaping. Noticed Huma probe has much smaller air openings as compared to OEM AGT probe so ordered male foster adapter to use OEM, figuring more air flow needed. I've contacted Huma for help. Thanks to those who've offered suggestions, I'll wait to hear from Huma and then try again with tips and tricks after male foster adapter arrives. WM

If you ARE NOT getting air from compressor, make sure shut off valve is clean and shut. The slightest leak will not fill gun.

Reading the forum and experiencing pumping a PcP from dead empty air pressure can be impossible for some guns.

Try find some one close by and borrow his tank.

If all else fails even with cocking it and closing the lever shut and then putting on safe I cringe by mentioning this.

Some have mentioned they tried double loading 2 or 3 pellets keep it cocked then bolt or lever closed as if ready to shoot put on safe point towards a very safe direction then try to fill.

Probably want to remove the silencer first since it would likely get damaged after you try to shoot them through.

There is the real possibility the multi loaded pellets could shoot out with out warning as the air is being filled. Point it some where safe while airing up.

I would try several felt cleaning pellets instead for safety.

Yours is 30 caliber if you don't have cleaning pellets a local hard ware store find a couple of rubber 8mm plugs to load similar to like this or try different things safe to load. Can trim with razor blade if too tight.

Might be worth trying to plug the crown end stick the barrel end vertical point down in to your slipper to keep tight seal. Keep gun cocked and lever closed while filling.

Also buy a long round wooden stick alittle smaller diameter compare to 30 caliber pellet to un stuck it from the barrel crown end. Might not be able to shoot rubber bullets out.

Or take your chances with some pellets.

When you are like me have a hand pump and gun dumped all the air shot down after too low pressure you think any thing to get them to fill.

Or same thing when you receive it empty with out any air in it.

You really don't know if a dealer screwed you over and didn't check the gun for leaks before it got shipped and was full of air then leaked all out on its way to you.

I think shipping a gun empty degassed might be bad for the seals.

Could possibly leak like my Fortitude when I first received it degassed.

I was real ignorant not to request atleast have alittle air in it before shipping it.

You have to be trying to fill it with your compressor when you bump it. I cocked it, put safety on, started the compressor filling and bumped the butt. It’s worked on a couple different guns, but you might need a tank for a bigger burst of air. 

Batman,

Based on the experiences of ontarget, myself and Air Gun Channel videos by Kaylaindy, I suspect AGT intentionally ships with empty bottles. Not a problem for tank owners but hand pump and small compressor owners could struggle. I'm sure problem can be solved, even if it means buying a small tank, but new AGT owners should be aware going in. There was a ray of hope, at one point, during my hand pump experiment, a small amount of air was captured, as proved by pulling trigger, so the answer might be close. WM

I wonder if a blast of air from a standard compressor at 120psi would be enough to seat the valve? Not having a tank, these compressors have no pop on their own. 

SUCCESS, borrowed whip from hand pump, set up cushioned stool with heavy book. Uragan cocked, safety on, started compressor, closed three pressure release screws, after allowing pressure to build, struck gun butt twice on book, something clicked, then air pressure gauge climbed. Shut down at 250 bar. WM

Plus 1 on Accuracy to Cranky1 for providing the answer and plus 1 on Accuracy to ontargetnow for starting thread. My thanks to you both. WM
