    Umarex ppk feed issue help

    Hi folks... I'm needing some help with this one.
    I just bought a couple mags from airguns of arizona for a ppk I previously had no mags for.
    I get one shot off then the bb probe part of the valve gets stuck in the mag.
    I tried both steel bb and copper coated lead. I tried putting less bb in the mags. I tried opening the front of the valve and ever so slightly stretching the return spring.
    It looks like the bbs are pushing up and making the probe hang up inside the mag.

    Have you tried a drop of oil on the probe?

    Tried it Ade... pellgun oil.
    At the moment, the only thing I can think of is to change the spring in the valve.
    Actually.. I might try lubing my BBs!

    Still hoping someone might know the answer to my problem and save me the trouble of figuring it out for myself 😂

    The probe on my ppk has a rounded end, the one in your 'unstuck' photos areas to have a tapered end?

    The probe on the 'stuck' photo appears to have moved forward into the mag (or the mag moved aft)? On my ppk, the probe barely touches the mag, it does not look like it would ever protrude into the mag as shown in your 'stuck' photo. Check the probe is not loose/moving, the one on mine is fixed/rigid.
    Treat Others As You Would Wish To Be Treated.
