Air Match 600 problem.

[zpaulg]

I was shooting my Air Match 600 pistol when one shot seemed to only partially discharge. Having fired the shot ,which sounded weak, when I went to operate the side lever cocking handle it was under pressure from air still in the cylinder (hence partially discharged shot).

It seems as though the hammer hasn't fully hit the valve to fully open it?

Any ideas folks? I see a bill looming on the horizon!

Before doing anything major check if you have any side play in the dry fire selector lever. I had trouble with my 600 and had to put a thin spacer washer under the E clip.

Baz, you're a star! Had a play and I think you're right, there is slight play in the lever. Holding said lever while cocking did the trick. Now all I need is something permanent to take up the play.
Many thanks!
