...I'm mad right now.
OK. First off, to let you know that I am trying to sell a Sheridan XTS to get money for my Micro E-mag that is on layaway. Second to tell you that there is a leak in the macroline fittings from using co2 and I knew about it, and was planning to stop by the store sometime and buy some SS line.
Ok, so I'm fiddling around, and decide to turn the ASA around (it was on backwards) right? So I do that, reteflon the fittings and everything. I gas it up, and there is still that leak in the fittings, but now there is a leak in the valve :confused: I figure I just took it apart, to show someone a part, and put it back together so I must have screwed up somewhere... but I start to oil it just incase..
I squeese too hard on the oil thing and the.. err I cant say the word here that I would like to describe it by, but the top off the bottle comes flying off, and the ASA is filled with oil, not to mention it is dripping everywhere and its on my hand and all over the ASA and the fitting.
Right, so I clean that up a bit and get most of the oil out of the ASA, and go outside and gas it up intending to shoot the oil through the gun. There is the leak again, in both places, but I shoot anyway hoping the leak will go away somehow (elves) and it was horrible! First off it was loud. Guns are usually loud with no barrel, and I'm not sure this one was chronoed. There was dry ice coming out the fittings and oil everywhere.. at one point there wasnt enough gas feeding and it wouldnt recock, just keep firing itself lots of times.. it sounded like a machine gun..
Well.. I unscrewed it and put it on a towel in my room..
Let me tell you what the first thing I did.. I wrote an angry letter to PMI concerning their poor oil containers.
I really want tech support from sheridan but they arent in buisness anymore. Go see for yourself.

I doubt the pro shop will know anything about this marker, and I dont know anyone who has a replacement powertube (I think thats what it is)
Any advice?
