    [QUOTE=Discocom;7412860]Many thanks for all the advice. I wonder if the cylinder was slightly overfilled, which caused the problem as working fine now.



    Sorry I was a bit terse there.

    An overfill can give the hammer too much pressure to overcome causing failure to fire.
    Check the weight of the cylinder,usually indicated on the side.
    On my FWB you can let a bit of co2 out if you have overfilled.

    I have owned several CP1, CP2 and CP3 pistols and have also had a mystery leak now and again that has sealed itself too.

    This usually followed a period of non-use and is one of the reasons why I always try to exercise all of my pistols and rifles as often as possible - leaving them unused does not do them any good at all!

    If the CO2 is in a liquid state it will need some head space to evaporate into to provde gas pressure. If you're over full then the head space will be insufficient for enough evaporation to take place between shots.

    Mark, the link to the o-ring people doesn't show and polyurethene rings.
