12 grams not getting pierced?

Mwyatt · 05-09-2009, 10:36 PM

I just got my first PGP a few days ago and shot it in my backyard just fine. Then i when to the field to play today and the 12 grams would not get pierced! is there a way to fix this? fortunately I live close to Palmers, I was planning on taking it in to have a check up and if worse comes to worse i can have them fix it. So how do i fix this problem?

So, when you do the first shot to pierce, nothing happens? Or does it just dump the air?

Does it have a cartridge valve or a non-cartridge valve? If it's a non-cartridge valve, you can just go to PPS and get a Dynavalve kit along with a valve tool and you can remove the old pierce pin yourself and drop in the Dynavalve.

you do know that you have to cock and shoot the gun to pierce the 12 gram, right?

does it have a velocity adjuster? if so, screw it in a full turn and try again.

Its a 2k1 model so i thinks is a cartage valve? Yesm I've cocked it many times and still nothing. Now, if I pump it many, many times it punctures it barely, so little that no c02 goes into the gun but when I take off the cap al the c02 is dumped. I think im just gonna take it to palmers

you have the velocity adjuster installed incorrectly .... or/and missing the washer for the back grip frame screw ...

The pierce pin could be damaged or bent. That happened to a 2k pgp I had. You can buy a new one from PPS.

You best bet is to take the gun to PPS. One word of caution. Go there with less than $30 in your wallet and leave any credit cards home. You will not regret this decision. It will save you in the long run.

That won't help. Lori is a smooth sales person. He will be leaving the pgp there. And returning with the rest of the money.
