    Ref low power look at getting a modified firing valve from TR Robb. I got one for mine and had to turn the power down!

    If a capsule sticks, remove the cylinder end cap and 'cock' and fire the pistol usually does the trick!

    As above.....if a capsule sticks I just recock the gun and fire and out pops the capsule.....
    Crosmans can be a little low on power and not as advertised, but there are so many ways to tinker and play with these.....5.5 ft-lb is well achievable in the pistols and still a good shot count. I have longer pellet probs.....stronger hammer springs, you can have ported transfer ports too, but that put me the wrong side so got removed, I might try again with weaker hammer springs...

    Cocking and firing to loosen the capsule doe not work in a lot of cases I have fixed. The piercing pin is just punching into an already existing hole in the capsule. Some I have weighted the capsule with heavy magnets and fired at the same time and still remains in place. What I do in most fixes is open the brass seal recess slightly and fit a harder polyurethane capsule seal.

    Harrumph! TR Robb doesn't seem to do them anymore. Not on the website anyway.
    Thanks for taking an interest though.
