Just put air to it!!!!Originally posted by i8pie2day
I'm kidding really... though it does work sometimes you just have to wrap it all in a towel and open the air slow so that it don't become a projectile.
If you use needle nose be careful because you can scratch the pin. It's best to use some type of rubber or cushion between them. You could also try a piece of small hose like Autococker LPR lines.

Yes, but remember to air it up slowly, and wrap it with a towel, because they can come out like a small stainlees steel dart. If you air it up it should come out pretty quick, just be very careful. I almost had one catch me in the eye last week, while servicing my gun. I was adjusting the sear rod, and I couldn't get it to shoot. I didn't have a bleed off asa(which I do now), and I didn't want to put that much pressure on the aluminum threads on my CP tank, so i removed the thumb screw, pulled the valve out and turned it over. When i did the on/off pin came out like a missile. I had let some off the pressure off of it already, but i guess it wasn't enough. It was to close for comfort. I don't like to take chances with my eyes at all. So if you got that route maybe you should consider some safety glasses just in case.Comment

Cool I was just wondering how it worked out for you. I guess since you turned the air on slowly, versus I had already aired the gun up was the big difference. I know mine shot out really fast.Comment

Accidentally did that to my ULT on/off last month. It certainly comes out. Good times....Originally posted by DevilManJust put air to it!!!! I'm kidding really... though it does work sometimes you just have to wrap it all in a towel and open the air slow so that it don't become a projectile.
