Has your bolt jammed?

No, I've never had a jam. Use only quality pellets. Try putting a little light lube on the bolt shaft.

Not yet, you may have to turn the cartridge a little at times to get it to engage the pellet forward.

Never, but this rifle has another problem: the shot accuracy depends of the type of cartridge used. Lighter cartridges hit the target higher than heavier cartridges. It would be obvious for longer distances but it happens even in a 50 yard range. Regretable.

No, but you might try a little gun oil if you can get the bolt free. Just in case you need to return yours for repairs, I had to send mine back to repair the seal and I was satisfied with the repairs and turnaround time.

we did not keep the gun. It was a gift and the person didn't really want it. Sorry I can't of more help.

Yes, but only once and in the beginning. It was a combination of bad pellets and me not being swift and concise when I pulled back the bolt. I regularly oil the bolt now and can start to feel when it needs oiled again. I have had the best luck and accuracy with RWS Superpoint Extra .22 pellets. I have literally tried most of the brands. I have nearly 3000 pellets I won't put through the rifle now. Some I knew would jam the bolt just how they fit in the mag. Its really not the bolt jamming, for me it was bad ammo not loading into the barrel properly resulting in a jammed bolt. I used a barrel cleaner to unjam it, with the assistance of a hammer. I thought it was ruined. I wouldn't hammer the bolt lever, as my friend did with his. It worked but bent it to hell, resulting in replacing the bolt completely. I disassembled mine completely and inspected the barrel entry, luckily there was no apparent scarring. I love this airgun and have modded every aspect of it. I'm shooting just under 1400fps with 14.5gr ammo. Rodents and squirrels are dispatched effectively and humanely. Hope this helps

Once, point barrel at ground, pull trigger. Remove pellet case from rifle, work bolt foward and back and lock down

No. The safety must be reset after each shot. Rather annoying too. Hope this helps.

That tells me that one of the locknuts has come out. Take off the rubber bottom and look at the mechanism. You can probably figure out what's wrong by watching it and seeing where it jams. They have a one-year warranty. If you bought it online, you have to send it back to the manufacturer for repair. I fixed my first one many times! Hint: Try not to put too much tobacco in the slot! When you have to pull hard, it wears out those little horseshoe shaped pieces.

I have this problem, too. The nut doesn't seem to be threaded all the way through, and so can only screw so far onto the long allen bolt - leaving the flanges hanging loose. Not obvious what to do.

my unit is solid black, bolts and all. My thought is that maybe the bolts were tightened to tight when it was first installed. Mine has always worked very easily.

we have not experienced a jam in the powerhead as of yet..so, sorry I can't answer to this issue.

No, mabey the bolts need a little tightening. If they continue to come loose, you could use some loctite on the threads of the bolt.

Same issue. I used a wrench to hold the nut until it was tight and a large screwdriver to turn the bolts.

I had the same problem. The nut is an inset nut on the newer models (the manual diagram hasn't been updated to indicate as such); if you push up on the inset nut from the bottom while screwing in the bolt, it will engage the threads. Good luck!

Hi, I had the same trouble, but fortunately I had 4-Way Lug Wrench Tire Iron (you can get this item at Walmart or any automotive store) that fit close enough to get enough torque to loosen the bolt and then used a wrench remove bolts.

The reading might be slightly off if your using the extension bar after the Torque Meter; as the extension bar would be twisting. However I would expect the difference to be very small. In most bolted joints we are only after achieving 60-70% of the bolt allowable tension and that all the bolts are tensioned the same. Basically to clamp the joint together by friction. Therefore I would personally not worry unless your using a stupidly long extension bar after the torque meter. My thoughts anyway.

I just doubled checked to make sure an yes I did get new bolts. Hope this helps.

Oddly enough I agree with the previous reviewer about not jamming. Mine has not jammed either. I have barely used it but I'm very impressed with the tool at its price point. Having said that it doesnt have special methods to un-jam.

I would assume you would have to contact manufacturer directly for a replacement. Surprised this happened, as I used one of the smaller bits to untighten/tighten CV bolts that hadn't been touched in 10 years--used a pneumatic ratchet on it and torqued considerably. You may have had a defective bit on a stuck fastener. I'd call/email the manufacurer and request a replacement.

Mine jammed after i folded a piece of printer paper twice to make the work faster. After I unjammed it (which is really hard to do) i stuck with regular printer paper and construction paper.

Two possibilities: first, a bb may be jammed. second, the spring in the magazine may be weak. My advice is to call Umarex. I have found their technical staff to be useful resources.

were you using full metal jacket amo, or maybe the part on the bolt that re-cycles was turned from being reassembled the wrong way.

Make sure it's on completely though. I usually tap it with the wrench end until I'm sure it's snug and can move no further.
