Ignore the part about the Raptor, he was asking that aloud. I have no idea if the BE has a pin blocking the valve front or not.

So, did you dry fire it? If it is designed like a raptor dry firing it will mushroom the front of the valve and cause the pin to stick. I had to fix one for a friend that had done that.

Yes these are set up the same way. If you dry-fire it, it'll cause the valve pin to sieze.

This could be a problem how do I check for this?

Remove the bolt & hammer, and stick a pencil/dowel/long thingy down the lower tube and try and push the valve open. If it won't go, it's siezed.

If that's the case, remove the gripframe, remove the valve grub screw, then open up the front valve chamber, remove the spring, and push the valve out the front with aforementioned long thingy.

Push the pin out somehow (probably with a hammer and skinny punch), then with a small rat-tail file or a drill bit slightly larger than the bore the pin rides in, chamfer the front of the hole to remove the mushroom/burr that's siezed the valve pin.

Reassemble, then with a scratch-awl, write on the side 'DO NOT DRY-FIRE DAMN IT'.

N/P, I like to justify my otherwise annoying presence on this here forum. Let us know what you come up with.

Ah my keyboard is wearing out I think the keys are starting to stick but the up side is you get instresting things typed like what has been said above. But what can you expect out of a 1.00 white box keyboard from office max.

The good news is the valve isn't stuck so we can rule this out.
Man I really need to get my tanks filled.

take the valve out and leave it open. test to see if air is getting to the valve. i know sometimes the tank will block the hole in the ASA.

be careful doing this keep the gun pointed away from you and just test it quickly.
