broken PGP pin?

FallibleFlyer · 06-01-2008, 07:50 PM

Hey all, I spent the day using my PGP pistol at a local field. Towards the end of the day it would no longer pierce the 12gram cartridges...Any ideas on how to fix it?

does it have a RVA? if so, that could have backed-off and there is not enough spring to pierce it.

Nope, no RVA.

Spring might have just worn out. A non RVA pgp would have to be a pre2k model, making it at least 7 years old at this point. Did it stop working suddenly, or was there some drop off in shot performance first ?

Was working fine, I went to switch 12grams mid game. And it just didnt pierce. The cartridge I pulled out after it didn't pierce it was just dented, so I tried again with another one, which didnt even dent.

do you know which style valve it has?

Got it working! Thanks much c6quad. The pin that the hammer hits was actually just getting stuck. I cleaned and oiled it and it works just fine! Thanks again for helping
