It's not click it 50 times, it's set the dwell to 50 and click it. Supposidely helps to reset the armature.

This is why I think a latching solenoid shouldn't be used in a pb gun.

dwell at 50? never heard of that remedy.

Its too small for my paw like hands.

Tore into one here at the shop and its rather simple, lots of features are very mag like but on a very differnt level.

The Blow Forward bolt and spring return are intresting as the have no internal seals like a mag bolt but uses outside orings running on the inside of the body. The "powert tube" carries a few orings as well.

The gas circuit has me a little confused even after looking at the animated gif, its not running the air right in the gif as far as I can tell.

I am not too keen on how you adjust velocity, changing chamber volumes to increse or decrese dwell is very intresting way to go about it.

Its an intresting design, shoudl be intresting as parts wear in and how well it will hold up on those wear surfaces.

the noid is an easy replacement just unthreads.

Try it out. If you're having leaking problems you may wish to disassemble the solenoid if you haven't done so already (sorry, I didn't read the whole thread here).

The solenoid works in such a way that the armature is suspended in its housing by the magnetic fields around it. However if it gets pushed into the "firing" direction (down) it likes to stay there due to the way its designed. If you pressurize the gun with the armature in the downward/firing position, there'll be leaking major.

What you want is to push the armature down into the solenoid then pull up on it just slightly. You'll find it stays in the "up" position (I would call it "suspended"), then gently reinstall the top piece on there.

I'm working on a pictoral guide for this, because I'm sure others are running into the same issues...

That's it, I'm getting a Mini.
