My 98 custom (standard) is not firing semi-automatic.

I just had my CO2 tank refilled but I have to re-cock everytime I want to fire.

Any help?

I didn't break it. It has rarely been used.

Am I in the position where I need a rebuild kit or to send it in?

Is it under 40*F outside?

Check your rear bolt and sear for wear too. Also make sure the o-ring on the rear bolt is good, theres plenty of oil, and your valve bolts arnt loose (dont overtighten!).

The gun has been used about 3 or 4 times and was oiled. I'll call Tippmann and see what they suggest.

stretch out the long spring in the back the do the same for the sear spring...
Make sure your at full gas and turn your velocity up...
Also if you can check if your getting blowback gas...If your not your valve is screwed and you should take it apart and fix it...

Please sign up at http://www.tippmannowners.com/ and leave the referrer as me (FA22RaptorF22)and you will be my hero.
