98c not working

i think this is the right place to post...but anyway.  i put the co2 on my gun and it fires fine but when i put a barrel on, it uncocks and doesnt shoot.  any advice? it worked fine until i took it apart to clean it out. all the pieces are still there (if that helps)

Edited by wasted100001

the bolt is on right..any other ideas?

it can't be the ball latch if it works without the barrel on the gun.
check if your gun is pressurized. if you push the bolt forward (using the knob) when the gun is uncocked with a tank screwed in, you shouldn't be able to move it because the cvx is pressurized. sometimes the gun will depressurize even if you screwed the tank in. you just need to screw the tank in all the way. you would be able to fire a few shots at first, then the gun will cease to function. hope that helps.

The ball latch has nothing to do with the barrel being on. The detent is not built into the barrel like an Automag. Check the ball latch. Cock your gun, and stick your finger into the breach. You should be able to run your fanger though with little to no resistance if its in correctly. If not in right, you will feel it.

Yeah, I know what you mean now. No hard feelings. But check anyway.

And make sure your tank isnt just idling at the point that the pin is just engauged and can easily become disengauged like they said.

i fixed it, the ball latch was on backwards...who knew that could cause so much trouble
