      the Ion reg is starving the gun. it's maximum output pressure is around 200-250 psi or so, well below what the cocker is going to want

        Ok thanks for the info. I have had a chance to cycle the marker and do some timming of the gun seems to perform, but I have not put paint through it yet. He may have put low preasure springs in the gun which alow it to operate with the ion reg.

          low pressure won't prevent the sear from tripping. If the gun is cocked, and the cocking rod does not move forward when you pull the trigger then you need to raise your hammer lug.

            I run my cockers below 300psi with no problem. You do need the appropriate springs though.

              ok, so the gun cycles with air and functions has a cocker should, with out paint. I have droped mine in the past around 250 before, but that was with a spring kit and me shooting it with a ccm pump kit.

              Do you think that the ion reg will experence shoot down?

              My thinking is that if its cycleing then it should shoot just fin, aslong as I dont put CO2 to the gun

                The stock Ion reg is fecal matter anyway. Replace that sucker ASAP.

                  1. Stare at gun like it's going to fix itself (this part is important).
                  2. Remove bolt + pin.
                  3. Rotate bolt 180 degrees.
                  4. Insert bolt + pin.

                  If that doesn't work.

                  1. Find coal.
                  2. Start fire.
                  3. Remove Ion reg.
                  4. Put cocker into fire.
                  5. Sell the ion reg.

                  Contrary to popular belief, the stock ion reg is actually a very decent reg.

                  The problem comes when idiots try to run them outside of their sweet spot.

                    either that or not properly breaking them in to begin with.

                      Yeah, which is why I started this post. When I first saw it, to me, that was the problem that caused it to be sold, But since I know nothing about Ions I figured that I would ask AO. Thanks for the intelligent answers guys.


                      And in the immortal words of the great philosopher Chill Will

                      Why throw a perfectly good cocker on the fire when it can be used to take over the world.


                      EDIT: Yeah I also heard the ion reg is a good reg. Its the same reg on the Shockers.

                        Is the gun even cocking? Many times what will happen is someone will think the marker is cycleing when indeed just the back block is moving a bit......

                        For Example, if you were to take my cocker, which runs 850psi in straight from the tank, with a reg putting out 2-300psi, the back block might move but, the LPR pressure wouldn't quite be enough to cock it. That was the case, when I bought a palmer stabalizer and used it for a time. The stock cocker LPR is adjustable so it isn't much of an issue thoough.

                        Also if the hammer lug is waaay out, the gun will cycle but, not shoot with enough velocity to be used, as the hammer will not catch.

                        Without a more detailed explanation though, no one can be sure.

                            Yeah its cycling and firing, but I did experence all of the above. The hammer is fine. I truly wont know the out come until I put some rounds through it. There is an adjustable rock on the front block, so I have no problem geting it to push air out the barrel. It is just not hitting as hard as I remember when you put your hand to the barrel and I think that is because of the ion reg.

                            I will post a pic so you guys can see what I am working with and will probaly put paint through it this weekend if time permits me to go to the local field and get some more air.
