    New Mag

    I just got my mag and it doesn't fire and my friend says it's the fire gap but I don't know what the fire gap is exactly. Can someone help me? Can someone maybe provide a picture showing me the fire gap so I can look even more like an idiot?

    i guessing he means the space between the sear rod and the trigger. but are you sure it isnt something else, did the tank have over 800 PSI, was the pressure turned up enough.

      was the velocity turned up high enough?

      was the safety on

        Yes, my friend posted that and didnt really know how to say it... It had enough gas and the velocity is fine, the rod has been moving around, its really loose. I took teflon tape and now it doesnt move, and got the measurements from the troubleshooting guide on airgun.com. Now I dont know what 'before and after the fire gap is' so I would like a pic or something

        lol

        Thanks,

          It may be the teflon tape...

            No it was out of timing, and not pushing on the on/off pin which was what I needed to fix. I talked to someone on AIM and he told me how to fix it, but thanks guys.

              I can only surmise that you were talking about the gap between the trigger rod and the back of the trigger.

              When the gun is gassed up, there should be a gap about the thickness of a credit card between the trigger rod and the trigger. You shouldn't use foreign objects in the trigger assembly to alter the "timing". The timing is preset. Anything else just interfers with the safe operation and will cause problems down the road.

              I can't imagine where you would put teflon tape in the trigger handle to make it shoot better. Its a problem waiting to happen.
              Except for the Automag in front, its usually the man behind the equipment that counts.

                i'd say he wraped the threads on the trigger rod, so it won't move in the clasp anymore.

                  Hmm. That makes sense.

                    Yeah you both are right. It was loose in the clasp thing and thats where the teflon went. And the rod was so far away from the trigger it nearly went into the frame... Gassed up that is.. But its fixed now the credit card thing solved the problem before you guys repled

                    Thanks
