Trouble with internals

Hey guys, i field stripped my marker for the first time yesterday and put it back together, when i was putting it back i noticed a o-ring inside the internal valve right down the end where the washer sits, so its the most forward o-ring, anyway, that has come off but there is no way of getting to it (atleast that i know of) is that gonna be a problem to fix or will the gun pretty much fix it next time it is pressurized and fires?

Any help is greatly appreciated

Re: Trouble with internals

Is this a clear Oring that came from inside the valve? Next to the washer. You need to fix it. That Oring holds the washer in place against the tombstone. You can fix it from the outside. Use a small screwdriver (flat) or something with a curve at the end to place it back in the hole. As the saying goes "washer first then the O ring". Use your pinky finger to make sure it all sits flat in the hole.

I have yet to have any broken or missing parts fix themselves by charging it up and firing.

The O-ring fits, but you may be looking at it wrong. This O-ring is the only one in the gun that snap into a groove. All the other O-Rings go on the outside of other parts like the bolt.

It's going to take some effort to get it in. It won't just "pop" into place. You'll have to pinch it a little and work it around until you can get it all settled into its groove.

And don't even think of gassing up the gun! If you do, you'll just empty the bottle because the valve isn't going to close and hold pressure 'till you fix it.

Re: Trouble with internals

this happened to me once when i was playing "cops" with my little nephew and cousin. Yes marker was not gassed up when they were playing with it....

Anyways I had my tombstone off and gave it to one of them to use and they cocked it back and fired and it all game out the tombstone! haha was pretty funny when all the sudden they both stopped yelling and said, "umm i think theres something wrong with your gun"

So I pulled everything out of the marker and I found it was easier to push back in while holding the entire thing in my hand compared to trying to do it through the tombstone.

If you took it out before you can take it out again and push it back in with no problem
