Semi Auto Cycling Issue


Recommended Posts

I thought I would ask if any one can give me a help, I have a fabarm eurolion,it has been a good gun with no issues, no mater what cartridge's used, anyway I decided to give it a clean, and since then it has intermittently failed to cycle, it feels like the action is sticking rather than cartridge issues, can anyone give me any pointers on the issue, the gun is like new inside, and I am sure it's something and nothing,

Spray wd40 down the magazine , and push the spring up and down with a pencil

Dave the mag seem's fine I will do it, it seems to shudder when it goes off, almost like the action isn't releasing, it is intermittent, and was spot on till I cleaned it,

Make sure the two gas ports are spotless awell

And if that don't work do as walshie said dry the lot off

gass ports are spotless, I wish I hadn't cleaned it now, it will be something and nothing, I hope, as I like the gun.

Well it seems sorted' it's cycling 29 gram shells ok now I followed walshie's tip, and dried it out, I then very lightly oiled the cocking latch, as it seemed stiff, I won't be strip cleaning it again in a hurry, if it's not broken it doesn't need fixing,

Glad you sorted it. It's one of life's mysteries. You could buy an identical gun and it needs oiling and won't work dry.

its funny I have a hatsan escort also, people seem to knock them, and I can't fault it, it never fails to cycle I have stripped and cleaned that in detail, very forgiving gun, but this fabarm is short barrelled, and a magic gun to have in a Hyde, but it clearly doesn't like oil,

And yet Darren my hatsan , loves a good soaking of oil and has to be as clean as a nuns nickers

who says nun's wear knicker's, that one of mine takes some serious abuse, and never faulters I change the seal/ Oring every 12 months or so, fires everything from BB'S down to my favourite 29 gram no 6's
