[The Recon]

Hi i recently got a longshot and due to little knowledge of LS internals i damaged the rim and part of the larger tube for the disassembled and reassembled smaller tube to fit.... , I don't have a camera but hopefully you should know what i mean, It will only fire about 10 feet (hek its second hand and only fired about 20 when i got it) this may sound stupid but is the damaged larger tube messing up the seal and thats why it doesn't shoot properly?

You are correct. It is getting a horrbile seal and the air is escaping everywhere else but where it needs too.

Well, after sealing the rim it still works horribly, Could this be due to scratches in the PT? It was a very.... Ghetto attempt. Any help greatly appreciated

The pt may be fractured or cracked. This can also cause air to ecscape

Also did you check inside the plunger tube? Maybe there is a problem with the main o-ring, e.g. it needs to be lubed, or there is a problem with the plunger head. Or the original owner was dicking around with a replacement spring that was too strong or too weak.
Hope this helped.

Im away at the moment, and can't check. But I did re-lube it,and it is still the stock spring. I think there could be a problem with the PH, but can't check at the moment if it was due to scratches inside the PT, how could I remedy this problem? Thanks

If you're able to, just buy a new stock plunger. I believe Remedy Metal sells stock LS hardware.

Well I live in South Africa so shipping fees would be horrendous, so is there anyway to fix it?
