Umarex H&K P30 misfiring

[Genstabler]

My faith in John Rothery was not misplaced! They have just phoned me and, having seen the photos I sent them, agree there is a problem that their armourer did not pick up. Despite there being no question of liability under warranty, they are going to have another look at it and try to sort it out. I continue to be very impressed with Bisley John Rothery!

Did it get fixed & what was at fault?

[Genstabler]

John Rothery have now had my faulty HK P30 for the second time for over two months. After their initial very helpful assurances I have heard nothing. Furthermore they are not replying to my emails requesting a sitrep. I think my confidence in their commitment to sorting out the problem may have been misplaced. Very disappointing.

The truth is that many co2 pistols are not easily or economically repairable.

Umarex early models,1911 ,S&W,CP88 and Beretta can be repaired if you have the know how and can get the parts but they are a pain in the proverbial to do.

More modern offerings are landfill in waiting.

Sadly true

I should add that I meant modern co2 pistols.

Old collectables eg Crosman from the 60s can be sorted by chaps with the Great British Shed engineering know how.
Which sadly passes some of us by and is harder to find these days.

My mates Dad used to build sit on steam engines from scratch in his garage in the 60s.
As you do!

Lawrie and Baz on here do great work and I’m sure there are others.

I guess it’s the same with modern cars.
See coil packs and other brilliant ideas.

Very true Patrick.
I'm repairing a hammer on airsoft ksc glock 17, I would think similar set up to the new umarex air pistol blowback G17 and you wouldn't believe the little parts and the 4-5 little springs in just the rear hammer assembly, it's testing my patience!
Now take a crosman 2240, doddle to tune/repair.
I also repaired a Umarex cp88 a couple of years ago and with the help of some online guides UBC/YouTube I managed it, but again very fiddly and time consuming.
