I just got the gun and I cannot remove the needle tip. I'm depressing the trigger but it still won't come off with a wrench. Any tips or advice?

the internal needle is also needs to be removed by circulating it, be cousin it needs strong push then you can make it out of the gun, hope this helped you,

Seems odd that you would get that many duds in a row unless there was just a bad batch shipped to that store. I love mine and have had no issues with it. I can only think of a couple questions... 1. Are you pressing the tip of the gun down firmly enough so that the safety mechanism is deactivated? 2. When you slide the stopper up and put the nails in do you release the stopper and slide it back down to hold the nails?

I didn't use a torque wrench to install it. I just used the crush washer and made sure the alignment for the top holes was correct. I have this brake installed on 2 ARs and both of them had different amounts of force to align them. I have shot several hundred rounds through each of them and neither brake shows any signs of movement.These are LOUD though so make sure anyone with you doesn't stand to the side. Directly behind doesn't seem to be too bad but you can really feel and hear the concussion if you are a couple of feet to either side.Of course, hearing protection is critical with this brake installed.On my rifles the muzzle barely moves and I can stay on target easily for follow up shots.Enjoy,Rick I didn't use a torque wrench to install it.

http://www.amazon.com/review/R1A6VISEZLBCNK/ref=cm_cr_pr_viewpnt#R1A6VISEZLBCNKLook at this review. It helped me. However, it was ultimately my 12 year old who figured it out based on the directions. She says to NOT push the trigger when putting the needle on. I don't know. Good luck! Mine is working now!

Sure.. this is the only thing wrong with this bundle. Basically you have to completely disassemble the gun to attach the stock(which is not mentioned at all in the description) There is a YouTube video that clearly shows how to properly open the gun and close it again. Just search " how to disassemble tippman Carver one " to find it.. Pay close attention to the position to the string and pins for the trigger. If placed in the wrong spots you can break them and they're very hard to find replacements. The YouTube video will inform you with everything you need to know to take the gun apart better then me writing a huge step by step response. If you have any other question please let me know..

It comes out rather easily. Just follow the instructions in the booklet and it will pop right out for you. If not, then it is stuck and you should probably take it to a gun dealer who can get it out safely for you.

I have not had any problems with the gun. First of all, is it turned up too high where it is actually driving the nail all the way through the wood? You may want to practice on a two by four to test the depth setting. Second of all, and this is probably a stupid question but you do have the correct brad nails in, right? I have not had any problems with mine - it worked wonderfully for me. Sorry, I wasn't any more help.

You have the mag wound up too tight. Dont use WD40 because that will make more issues than it will solve. Silicone lubricants are the best for airsoft guns, but your issue is that there is too much tension on the mag. Always clear the mag out with the tab on top when you are done playing so you dont wear out the springs inside, and only use as much tension as you need to when turning the feeding gear. I have fully dismantled this gun and put it back together, and it isnt so complicated that you need a tech to do it for you. Also low quality BBs will make issues for you. I reccommend .12 for indoors and .20 for outdoors, find a name brand BB manufacturer it will save you money in the long run. You have the mag wound up too tight.

I would return it for a replacement if you have any concerns with the product. Mine was stuck for a moment at the "zero" mark, but using it for a while eventually got it to "unstick". I don't think my situation was the same as yours though, because I think my issue was simply the needle just not responding. I have heard of the needle getting stuck. Google a solution, or return for a replacement. Hope that helps.

it should have closed easily. if i remember correctly all you have to do is push the trigger to make it close. Hope that helps.. if not.. I would send it back and have them replace it..

With a solid 4 mm, washer on the trigger pin, use caution after repair you now have a hair trigger. Repaired my Phantom.177 in same fashion and they work great. Check out YouTube for more in depth videos too!!!

The trick here is to apply the best penetrating oil you can find, WD40 works ok but I would recommend something better like PB Blaster. Let it set overnight, you may want to apply a few times. When I went to remove the following day, it came right off with no issues. Mine was in very bad shape. Use 2 sets of pliers to remove - one for square pin and other for circular base. Good luck!

Is yours leaking any fluids by chance? Mine started to shoot just puffs of air 90% of the time and I noticed that it had oil / grease leaking from the black plastic bit just above where the connection is on the gun. Only used it 2x, no jams, never used higher than 100 psi etc. In the process of sending it back and getting a porter-cable.

I ordered a replacement needle when i originally bought the item (ordered online). You should be able to go back online and order a replacement. (I think i got mine from sears).

The tip from the factory is on extremely tight. Be patient, I found using a 6-pt wrench rather then the tool sent with it, to remove the tip worked. Good luck

Good luck. Send it back to Amazon. I did after a month or so and paid a restocking fee. Get a real gun. I now have a Porta-Nails 470A, that replaced the Porter Cable nailer that replaced the Akuzuki nailer.

You should really email the manufacture. I will say that I have the one with the blue piece. I've busted my knuckles trying to get it broken in for my XDS. It's very tight and hard to dislodge the pistol. To use it I'll probably have to file it down. I'm very disappointed in it and don't use it.
