[MOD it]

Ok so i modded it and it was GREAT until a few days ago. When i shove a stef all the way to my 5" barrel and cock it all the way, it doesn't even get to the end of the barrel!! what a piece of shit i know. I also have a modded crossfire that seems like it's startin to do the same thing. Please help me out because i'm broke and can't just go out and buy a new one.

Try stretching the springs, they might have been used so much that there losing the, well... spring power.

I have the same problem with some of my guns. Also stretching the spring will only last for so long. I think it is just that there isn't enough air power to push the dart all the way out of the barrel.

You could have sucked the dart into the plunger chamber.

Try to shake the gun downwards and cock and shoot it out. Next time, try to put something at the back of the barrel to prevent this from happening. Or just cock THEN load.

Umm...a looser barrel perhaps? Or a shorter one.

Don't try stretching your springs just yet. What type of barrel material are you using? If it is CPVC, then there is a LOT of friction, so it is really hard for the dart to leave the barrel, as for brass, aluminum, and copper, they all have low friction, so you can shove the dart way down into the barrel. You can do the same for 1/2 inch PVC, but it is'nt very good for stefans.

That's way too long. Unless your darts fall out of CPVC, shorten your barrel to 3". It might have also gotten into the Plunger Chamber as Lynx said.

Don't stretch the spring. It will only make your gun weaker over time.
What did you glue your barrel on with? If you used hotglue, then it's most definitely broken.
Check to see if the glue came off from your barrel/plunger tube. This is almost always the problem when this happens to me.

You may want to check your seal. It could be that the air it the dart and propels it but then the air finds an easier way out, the broken seal, so the dart stays in the barrel. It happened to me before.

I used epoxy on it and yes its cpvc. The gun really isn't old, maybe a few months and I already checked the seal,its not that.
