Hello; I had the same problem, and it was the Solenoid. You will have to take-off the grip frame; then you will see on the top 2 HEX screws , that you have to loosen order to take the Solenoid OUT(they might be pretty tight).
Than you have to take out from the back of the Solenoid the Pin valve, inside you will find 2 small Orings that you have to replace and that´s all.
The Orings I´ve found them in a Shockers repair kit that I have; but also if you don´t have one and you need a quick repair of your gun , I´ve found that you get it from a lighter .

I hope I could help you.

PS: sorry about my English writing but I live in Argentina.

Hello all, I am kind of new with PB but I bought a REX typer R and wish to know what kind of barrels are compatible, because I want to upgrade to smething like 22"

Its autococker threaded so just simply look for cocker threaded barrels and you might want to avoid a barrel that long it will only make you use more air. But is nice to see im not the only one who has been eyeballing one of these guns

Does the gun have dual detents and has anyone had any problems with the bounce beam eyes

I have a Rex Type R, well it is/was leaking air. I believe I may have fixed it but do not have any more air until I get the tank filled. I do have another problem though, the air fitting on the back of the marker... on the ram cap broke off. The threads just sheared off. Does anyone know where I can get a new one or where I can get one that fits this? I think its metric. Any help is appreciated.

The gun has only 1 detent, the bounce beam eyes are not the best but they work for the price

Did you tried with some teflon tape ? If that didn`t work try putting an insert.

I've been trying to fix a few broken rex type r paintball guns. My problem is also the solenoid o-rings. I could not find them anywhere locally. I even tried the o-rings out of cheap lighters but they were a tad too big.

The proper size solenoid o-ring is 1mm cross section x 2mm inside diameter I just ordered a 50 pack.

Hey guys Im setting up a type R for play this weekend and cannot find a manual for the board for the life of me. I need to turn the eye on and would like to know how to adjust the other settings but i am not familiar with the Type R boards. Please help thanks.

Diveg · 07-12-2012, 04:59 PM

Seconded on that - can't find a manual for the board - can someone please scan it and put the pdf on here ?

SB50 · 08-18-2012, 08:47 PM

I have the manual, and can scan it later if needed, but it's not with me at the moment. But I think it's the same as this one I found on this site.

I need to know what type of tubing runs under the barrel and into the handle because there is a leak and I cant find any information on it. Please give me any information you have on what it is and where I can find it.

Hello. I understand this is an old thread but am in desperate need of help. The one comment where the guy had an over pressurized solenoid, blown o-rings... I had this as well. I went to a store, not paintball related got two o rings maybe a little big. Leaks gone lol but now no firing of anything. Any body know why?

Hi bibg20524 ; i think that your problem is the oversized oring. The solenoid it might be getting stucked.
I got one out of a fire lighter, I posted a picture some post above.
