How Do I Set Up My Pump Mag?

[sneakyhacker420]

how do i set up my pump kit on my mag?

i have the pump rail, pump rod, pump kit, pump body, and all the other goodies, i just need to know how everything fits together


i know that a couple guys here on AO have pump mags and help from them would be greatly appreciated

Do you leave the spring on the bolt? It seems like it would still be a semi if you left the spring in. Which I think would be a neat trick. Put the pump, handle, and rail on there and leave it a semi! Just pump it when your at the Chrono like you have to and wail on people when your on the field!

its leaking down the barrel whenever i pump it

i had a leaking problem with mine when uncocked. i ended up putting new seals thoughout the valve. but it was probably a seal in the power tube.

here are some pages with pumpmags

agd's assembly instructions are in the first few pages of this http://www.airgun.com/Images/rtblowup.pdf

what i found was a cutdown blue bumper would not work on mine. i use a clear rt bumper and that works fine.

yes you leave the main spring. the wave spring in the pictures above creates bolt stick. whan you pump you reset the blot

i have a pump mag and when i did that my gun still goes semi on me

[Basketballer16]

Does anyone on here install these for people. Because next summer my team went all cockers so i am going to buy one. And i want to turn my mag into a pump. But i want it done right. Is there anyone on here that can do that for me?

[Twinky4907]

i can install the kits but for some reason i haev been have problems. But this is my second one.

Installation really is easy. The hardest part I had was cutting the blue bumper.

That and making my own pump rod. Question for those out there, has anyone played with their pumprod lenth? I tried 5.5" and then made one at 6.5", and liked it better. Very short crisp pump action...

I love that pump!

Specifically number 4 and 5. The bumper keeps the spring centered on the bolt. While I've not tried it without, I imagine there is room for imature parts wear and complicatiosn...

NO hardest part is finding a pump kit and getting a rod. I think BradAGD makes these by the way.

WEll, yeh. Though the kit and rail itself are easy - they're for sale in the Atic.

I finaly broke down and went and found some rod that was close to spec, and made my own rod. Works great! I have a rod comming in from magmonkey, after witch I'll see how close I came to spec.

The bodies are the hard one to find. However, I had one of my friends who are in coledge for machining to cut into a body. The results I will find out this week.

can somebody help with my problem i did all that and i dont have to pump it for some reason it still stays semi any sloutions?

[Muzikman]

Twinky, What you need is a shorter mainspring. I was having the same problem and I took a stock bolt and cut one wind off it and all is peachy. Just remember to put the cut end towards the back of the bolt.

EDIT: And yes, the centering bumper is needed. The original pumpkits came with a small black bumber that fit inside the wave spring. If you do not do this there is the chance that the wave spring will not be centered and it will then go semi-auto on you too.
