Valve lock in CO2?? July 26 2008 at 8:20 PM		apshooter (Login apshooter) YC


Has anyone had any issues with valve lock in CO2 guns at elevated temps?? I tried to shoot my 2300T and my 2300S today at a silhouette match. The temp was over 95deg. Power was very low to the point that the pellet would not exit the barrel. Even a dry fire would not release gas. The puncture was light on both guns. I tried bulbs from a different box of Powerlets with same results. Thoughts? Thanks, Paul

Have you tried turning the hammer spring adjustment on the 2300S all the way in? - Steve in NC on Jul 27, 2008, 9:32 AM

That is where the adjuster usually is. - apshooter on Jul 27, 2008, 11:40 AM

Sounds like the adjuster isn't very useful - maybe a longer adjusting screw... - Steve in NC on Jul 27, 2008, 3:48 PM
