Title: Rapid repair
Post by: Higgleplog on December 16, 2024, 04:03:34 PM
Hello Kev
I have a problem with my MK1 Rapid. It was losing air so i tried to reseal the gun. The valve assembly was seized in the body, i had to drift it out, when i went to reassemble i couldnt get the grub screw to line up, the valve wouldnt go far enough in even with persuasion.
I dont want to do anymore as i think i may damage it more. Would you be prepared to have a look if i send it to you. Wits end reached.
Thanks Mark

as long as it's not the old metal valve because if that's got a bur on it that's made it tight it could have damaged the action beyond repair.
