The plug needs a small vent hole (as crosman designed the hammer/spring arrangement). May 21 2010 at 8:23 AM		Stan (Login Springer_177) YF
Response to has to to be something better

Plugging the hole completely will change the hammer performance. As the hammer moves forward, if a vent is not available then a slight vacuum will occur and slow down the hammer. I agree it would be nice to have a plug for that hole.
