However I have no experience with the evanix S10. I was shooting with a friend of mine and let him shoot the rifle unsupervised after a while. Somehow the gun jammed. The side lever is cocked but the trigger does not make the gun fire (yes with the safety off). When the safety is on the trigger is firm. I used a wooden dowel to push out 3!!! pellets from the chamber. The barrel is now clear but the trigger still has no effect despite attempting to cock the gun with a magazine and without a magazine. I have taken the stock off and had a look but i have not adjusted anything because i can not figure out what is wrong with the rifle. Any ideas? Thank you very much Dave   Posted: Sun Apr 11, 2010 2:48 am broommaster2000 Moderator Joined: 10 Mar 2007 Posts: 5714 Location: City of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands Welcome aboard of course, I hope we can help you with your problem. Something may be broken because firing it with a led filled barrel like you described isn't good for these rifles at all. For as far as I know this has happened with the rifle. Have you completely degassed the tank? Because you might gonna need to take it apart. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Sun Apr 11, 2010 10:26 am BushwickBill New Member Joined: 11 Apr 2010 Posts: 4 Location: Nor Cal No I have not taken pressure out of the tank. I'm guessing it is best to do this with the pump? I will do that but taking it apart will be a challenge: There are no diagrams or directions available.   Posted: Sun Apr 11, 2010 9:29 pm kanyon Silver Status Member Joined: 09 Aug 2008 Posts: 1582 Location: New Zealand Just a thought if he pushed 3 pellets in the barrel... the force required my have caused the internal linkages that the lever oparates to to bend...Or a bent probe the one that pushs the pellet from the mag into the barrel.

I take it it doesn't have a degassing unit... If there's still air is in the tank, it's can be kinda hard to take it out, maybe even dangerous. I take it you have a quickfill? Can you remove the reservoir from the gun so you can safely work on it? _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Mon Apr 12, 2010 2:48 am kanyon Silver Status Member Joined: 09 Aug 2008 Posts: 1582 Location: New Zealand broommaster2000 wrote: I'm suddenly realising, if it doesn't fire you can't really empty the rifle for as far as I know.

Those are for meetings... Use a towel, things don't roll away because of the "fluff". Just don't the the "one who must be obeyed" find out you're using a white towel for those evil bang sticks. _________________ "I never set out to be wierd, it was always everyone else who called me it" -Frank Zappa Speed is impressive, accuracy is deadly.
