We have a go at it later this week ... will fill to about 3000 and dunk in water and sit and watch !!!Yes, this is EXTREMELY exasperating !!wllI imagine just the act of submerging the gun will be pretty nerve racking on its own.Not sure that I would have the courage do it.To the pointIt seems that with cloths, fans, hair dryers etc the gun can be dried out & lubed.Is there any possibility of water entering into the air reservoir or other HPA areas?
always take the barrel off before dunking.
Has anyone been able to get hold of parts for these guns yet It sure would be nice to have the option to buy the critical parts for it.[/quoteHey WayneI don't think the source will be ATI any time soon.A week or so ago , with his permission, I e-mailed a list of parts to Ty at ATI along with this remark "This parts request is based on the assumption that ATI has a documented parts inventory."[/color]Here, in part, is his reply"Unfortunately, we don’t really have a documented parts inventory for the air rifles. We rarely get replacement parts from the manufacturer, and when we do, it’s not much"Maybe the best thing for a number of us to do is to assault (petition) the manufacturer with requests to make parts availablePerhaps, if they realize there is a market for them (read as opportunity for profit) they might get on the ballIIR there is a contact name and e-mail address buried somewhere in Liberty and Freedom threadsI would certainly be glad to join that effort, especially if it were an official request from GTAEd

I use a finishing nail to get it lined up and then install the pin which pushes the nail out. I personally would disassemble the action as far as possible after finding the leak to insure there's no water in the area of the hammer or in the valve/poppet area.
Gendoc, nothing will fail besides the orings and the seals on the valve poppet. those will be easy to replace and need no support from ATI or the manufacturer. Will. take off everything including barrel grub screws.

(chuckle)So you're the one that notified the seller telling him that I might back out of the sale because I wasn't happy about the parts availability well you're wrong I'm not backing out
" I mentioned that you might be rethinking the purchase. A reasonable supposition ".....maybe to some but not to me and to be used off theforum in a private message....thats even worse !!but i dont care, it will be here tomorrow and i will enjoy it like i do all my stuff.once i commit, its done....anyway my good friend can make, or retrofit anything this gun should need if its other than orings.no harm done...so carry on
