Tackleberry75 Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Hey peeps, quick question from a complete nube lol. I've recently acquired an Ares Striker 01 with mancraft kit. Looks the bizz , when I finally got the chance to hook it up to an airline I seem to get an air leak when cocking the rifle , is this normal or is it's case of something is goosed and needs fixing .

Supporters Adolf Hamster Posted December 18, 2019 Supporters Share Posted December 18, 2019 it is constantly leaking once it's been cocked or just a brief sound during cocking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporters Adolf Hamster Posted December 18, 2019 Supporters Share Posted December 18, 2019 hmmm, i'm not that familiar with how the mancraft kits operate, but it could be that it's filling the chamber? take it the thing shoots ok? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being a mechanical system it takes just a hair longer than an electric one to fill, hence the "pfffff" sound you hear. If you want to check for air leaks, put the whole thing underwater, cock it and check for any bubbles ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
