Umarex H&K P30 misfiring

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.

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.

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.

I can actually dismantle a 2240 and put it together again Mike.
Which is saying something!
New transfer port seal O ring thingy.

But I have an 18 month old little used Swiss Arms Beretta which blows gas out of the top of the mag.
I can't find a new mag on the net and Baz says he has had little success fixing them.

Yesterday I finally got my Umarex H&K P30 back from John Rothery after over two months. Their armourer claimed he could not find any fault with it, despite the photographic evidence and damaged pellets I had provided. He still had the gall to label it as repaired though! I managed to fire one 8 round magazine from it single action today before it started miss firing exactly as before.
I don’t know who the armourer is whom John Rothery employs to inspect and repair air weapons but I suggest they sack him and employ another one who actually has the skills, competence and the ethic to do a proper job! It is the reputation for excellence of John Rothery and of Umarex that suffers from his undoubted incompetence.
I am now resigned to living with a faulty pistol. I am nevertheless very grateful to the young lady at John Rothery for the efforts she made on my behalf and especially for writing off the costs. She had given me assurances in good faith that she was ultimately unable to fulfill.
