I made little lexan stoppers that fit inside the pump handle. Works brilliantly, and it's not even noticable in acrylic handles.

I think I see what your talking about now.Your bolt is traveling back to far when you pump it and the lug is hitting the "back" of the lug slot.Is that correct?For some reason I thought the lug was rubbing the top of the grip frame.Duh.
Anyway,it sounds like your cocking rod is to short and allowing the back block to take it back to the limit.That's the only thing I can think of .Rod might have a clue as I'm sure he does.I'll ask him tomorrow.

Any way to put an oring bumper of some type on the lug to keep it from bashing the slot?

Are you talking about the bullet proof or mushroomed?here is the bullet proof.or not

No No .. those are HMR mushrooms, completely different issue entirely

These mushrooms are definitely bad for your health

It is not metal to metal contact. It is metal to delrin.

This is exactly right. I talked to Rod. It is always possible to push the lug into the slot in the body by simply over pumping the marker.

Adrenaline and wanting to autotrigger leads me to over pump often.

The question Rod and I had was why the slot in the body is the length it is. Why not make it longer so that the hammmer bottoms out on the spring before it bottoms out the lug on the body of the marker.

Hard ano gun? You've got my attention. Just about every part of my current setup has taken on CCM parts other than the barrel, body, bolt, and feedneck.

I've wondered about this myself, and would like to know why as well.

The back of the frame needs somewhere to thread in so there's not unlimited room for that slot, unfortunately. If the frame were to extend far enough back that it could use the beavertail screw hole that would give the room for the extended lug slot.
