so i decided to join the world of pump... i picked up a phantom vsc, but i have a quick question.... when i pump the bolt only catches the sear about 1 out of 4 pumps... what could cause this??

glad to join you guys

is it aired up? The bolt will not catch the sear if not aired up.

yes, tried 5 different 12grams and 3.5

try taking the internals out and checking the parts. the previous owner might have installed things incorrectly. theres a diagram here:

and also make sure you oil it up. not too much but enough to make it smooth.

could it be a warn sear or spring?

Check the pump arm next time you pump it. If the stop and spring are too tight, they will keep the gun from cocking easily.

the pump handle may be screwed in to far and welcome to the circle jerk

ok, so i tried it without the spring, with spring in far, all the way out, pump handle in and out, still same problem...when i pump it, i have to rotate the pump handle about 10-15* for the sear to catch

Hmm, make sure that it is put together fully and securely..

thats an awesome guide...I emailed mike, he said to try unscrewing the cupseal some. He said the powertube might not be out far enough
