On/off stays down when I de-air my gun..

[teufelhunden]

I'm using a Classic Mag with a Hyperframe that has the CF on/off [or whatever it is that they add... i bought this gun used], and the on/off pin thingy is staying down when I take off the CO2. I'm using an on/off, so I turn it off, shoot out the air, and it stays down. My tank is a bit low, so could that be the problem?

What stays down? The on/off pin in the valve? Its supposed to stay down when there is no air to push it out.

i think i know wut u mean the on off pin stays out and so u cant take the valve out of the gun. i had a problem like that about a year ago... all i did was loosened the front frame screw and it came out, and iv only had that problem 1 time since then... i guess it just happens every once in a while

sk8bordr706 described my problem perfectly.

Oh, gotcha... First turn off the on/off, then shoot out all the extra gas. Completely De-Gas the marker Next remove the field strip screw. Point the barrel down and locate the following hole on your grip



If you insert a hex key into the hole, you can push the on/off pin back into the valve. Now you should be able to remove the bolt.

You should check out CenterFlag's site when you have a chance. HTH.

I have this problem sometimes.. If you push the trigger when there is no gas the sear should push the on/off back into the valve and you should be able to pull it out fine.

Wow, thanks man!!

This is correct with reguards to mechancal trigger framed mags. It happens frequently and as you said just pull the trigger to push the on/off pin up and you're all set.

With the E-framed mags it might be a problem due to there being a different sort of sear.

Actually, when that happens to my Emag I just put the yellow pin in and switch it to Manual mode. It does the same thing a mech mag would.
