Resealing Anschutz 9003

[TomAmlie]

Is anyone aware of any tutorials or videos on resealing an Anschutz 9003?

I hadn't shot mine in several years (mostly shooting smallbore), and when I tried it this AM I got two good shots off and then nothing. A mild "poink" sound, and a small escape of air from the bolt area, and that's it.

I assume I screwed up by leaving a full cylinder screwed on while in storage, and that deformed some o-rings somewhere. It's another one of those cases where I put it away thinking "I'll be shooting it again in a couple of days", and a couple of days turned into a couple of years.

Thanks in advance,
Tom

Air in the tube or did it all dump?

[TomAmlie]

No, cylinder still full. It's like it's not getting anywhere near a full charge of air into the system, and then when you pull the trigger it's just a little psssst around the bolt.

[Grantmac]

When you screw in the tank then unscrew it what happens?

[TomAmlie]

The exact same thing. Nothing unusual about that aspect (i.e., the usual half-second hiss when you unscrew it).

[Grantmac]

Does screwing it back on get you another two shots or still nothing?

[TomAmlie]

Nope; no change at all.

[Grantmac]

Sounds like the regulator is stuck.
Do you have the Torx to adjust it?

[TomAmlie]

I've got an assortment of Torx screwdrivers. (Nothing from Anschutz itself.) Can you explain how to adjust, or how to access it? If it's stuck it might simply be a matter of freeing it up.

[Grantmac]

It's accessible from that port in the bottom using I believe a T35, but it needs to be a 90 degree Torx to reach without splitting the receiver.

A 5mm allen key will also fit, you don't need a T35.

Thanks for the responses. Now I just need to get the riser block off the bottom of the stock. Someone torqued the hex bolts down unmercifully, and then stripped one.
