hard to cock pump

[BigEvil]

Allow me to be annoying but how did the OPs title not trigger the language filter?

Great minds think alike.

Ive always used a Uncut RT bumper in my purple pump-mag. Been doing it for near 10 years.
Yes they wear very fast. Youll go thru a couple a season if you use it alot. So always keep a couple around.

A example. At tunaball 4 Dirge was showing me his pumpmag. I asked why hadn't he used it. He said it was difficult to cock. Sure enough you nearly had to stand on it to get it to cock. I went & got my gun pulled the bumper off my valve & pulled his valve, removed the bumper he had on it & put the RT bumper onto his valve. Instantly easy to cock. That was the only change.

Thanks to all for the comments.


Update: I put a metal washer and an O- ring between the rail and the pump attachement. This made the pump rod glide in rail more correctly. It works now, but it's erratic. It miss-cocks and causes a leak.

Does the pump rod ever get bent, or need to be bent a different way? Does one have to tune the pump rod shape?

Working now!!!

I screwed the pump rod into the handle 360 degrees, thus moving it forward.

It seems to be working pretty good now.

Take your body off and install your valve only like so and see where the rod is hitting and yes you can adj (bend) the rod to where you need it. It should hit like so
