WW Hornet help

Post by the oncoming storm » Wed Mar 21, 2012 12:25 pm

last week I was shoting at fort "stormcage" to see if moving it helped (it didn't). My trigger stoped working dad says it is just gummed up but running hot water thour it didn't help any ideas ?

Open it up and find out what's wrong.

Or just throw it away. You can get a new one for like $5.

Don't throw it away, at the least harvest any springs and screws- they are the most likely to break/rust over time, and the hardest to replace.

Well, not that much soakage.

No.

Fun fact: If I tossed away my Max-D 5000, my Air Tech 2000's check valve would still be leaking. Fact is, you NEVER know when you need those parts.

Why won't the pump handle open? Are the screws stripped? You can drill those out with a small drill bit. You have to be careful not to cut through the plastic around the screws though.

There are lots of different ways to post pictures. Google image hosting. The sites that come up will let you upload pictures. They should have instructions. Follow the instructions, then take the image url (address) and put it in a post surrounded by img tags. If that's too complex for you, PM me and I'll send you my email address, and I'll upload them for you.

I think he means the pump cap. Removing it can be extremely hard on small PR guns.

You can just saw those off. Small PR pistols have virtually no resale value already.

Well, you're in luck, because in case you can't fix it, BBT has rereleased the Hornet in 2012. They have twin packs at Target for $10-$15.
