I just bought one of these, how many times do you need to wind it when you first load it? Also, how often do you need to wind it when shooting?

I bout two of these and they work great. I think you need to wind it around 5-10 times. I don't think it anywhere after ten spins. I will make an update when I'm home. The only flaw is the top part where you put the BB's in just cut a couple little square pieces of take and it'll be fine. That's if yours is a little loose. But you don't have to it just bothered me a little bit they won't fall out.

After winding - it seems to hold around 40 rounds. If you don't want to run out - wind often while shooting. I wind until it starts to get harder or tighter - the shooting reservoir will be full.

You will feel it tighten up so do not overdo it or you will break the spring inside. Maybe about 10 to 12 times should be good. I usually need to wind it up at least one more time halfway through. I shoot only in semi so I could usually make 500 rounds last.

Yes, I do that now. Make sure you have a quality impact gun. Low quality guns can use a lot of air with not much result. I use the Ingersoll rand 231c.

file, fit, file, fit, file, fit and on and on!!! But, do it like I said (file and fit, repeat) just until you get a nice snug fit and you will be happy. I worked on mine for probably a couple hours to get the right fit and now have shot hundreds of rounds through it without any movement at all in my sight. Just remember you can always file more off but can't put it back on if you take too much off and you'll be fine. I love it!

I've never had any problems with mine. Only time where it didn't fire when I wanted it to would be after several shots in a row. It would just get too hot without my extended battery pack. But I'm happy with mine.

Mine is bored and threaded to the standard 1/2-28 thread all the way through. I guess I never considered shooting anything but blank rounds while it was attached, since it makes the rifle cumbersome and I just want to have fun launching golf balls. I'll state what to me seems to be obvious and say NEVER attempt to launch a golf ball using a live round! Having trained quite a bit with a real suppressor, I can say it doesn't balance the same as a real one,nor would it quiet a shot, but if that's your little fantasy, have at it! My advice is to take the additional minute or so and reattach the flash hider before shooting live rounds. Mine is bored and threaded to the standard 1/2-28 thread all the way through.

Whether you keep it or not is up to you, but it seems to me that a unit that keeps rotating is a benefit. You do not have to wind it ever. But if you are not happy with it, you might see about returning it for a replacement. You have received one with a glitch. We have been pleased with our unit although it runs down and we have to re-wind it periodically.

You pump it only when you want to shoot it. The more pumps the faster the pellet goes. Never leave it pumped up, that will hurt the air bag inside.Happy shooting !!

My gun gets occasional use, and I've owned it for several years. So far, no problems. It does require decent air pressure (100 psi or more) and a large air hose to fire properly. I notice that I'm having to hammer in quite a few nails when the compressor pressure is low enough (80 psi) that it's about to kick on.

It's poss. mine shoots to the left and down a bit. have Green dot locked in at 300ft group of about 2inch. also would need to turn down feed action to slowfiring rate a bit or just go full auto for fun...lol

I get about 30 shots before it starts to taper off. After 30 shots it loses power very rapidly and each shot after the first thirty fired falls short of the last shot. I have three other pellet guns but this is the gun I have the most fun shooting. It's very powerful and very accurate. 30 shots on the money is great in my book. I count out 30 pellets, and when the last one is gone I remove the co2 and load another co2 for 30 more shots. This is a great gun for the money, and I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for both power and accuracy.

I read about this complaint in posts prior to me buying this scope. I did not experience this problem. Mine is mounted on a 1" riser to get above the battle sights. I had it bore sighted at my local gun shop and he thought the scope was fine. I zeroed it at 100yds on my AR15. It was shooting 1.5" groups. As Paul replied it will not compare with the more expensive models but it does a decent job for the price. I do have to get out and shoot again as the last time I went it was shooting almost 3 MOA high. There was a 30mph wind blowing so the next time out I will see if it was the wind or the scope not holding zero. I read about this complaint in posts prior to me buying this scope.

I bought the 4 screw mount. So far it has maintained zero. I shoot about once a month-200-300 rounds

I haven't had a single issue with this rifle, and ive had it for about 7 months now. Fired over 10,000 rounds easy. That burst function eats bb's. I've always used clean ammunition fresh out of the container, never any reused rounds. It may just be jammed. Have you tried cleaning it at all? Or even using some air rifle oil?

You will hear the "ting" but I wouldn't imagine it would flip it all the way up necessitating a reset. I shoot a approximately 800 fps .22 airgun (RWS 34) and it does not flip the target up. It's fine for me though, because I can't still tell when I hit the target.

It won't spin but I shoot it with my .22. You still get the instant feedback of a hit with the sound. A 9mm and up will spin it, but never use any rifle other than a .22 because it will destroy it.

I use the one that came with the rifle. It took a little work to set windage and elevation but after 4 or 5 adjustments I put 6+ shots in a 1" dia circle at about 40 yards. good enough for me.

I bought this one for my dad, but I have 2 others for my Smith & Wesson and my Beretta, and neither one of these needs any lubrication to work perfectly. Have you tried this loader with more than one type of ammo?I would instect the feed ramps for and burrs or imperfections, short of that or the ammo being the problem, I would send it back and get a replacement item. All mine work great and my dad says his works great, you may just have a bad one.Sorry, I hope this helps.Taylor
