Anyway, I bought a new longshot after my old one broke, and for some reason the old one worked much better, even though I did the same thing. Anyway, the cocking bolt works and it cocks the gun, but when I want to reload a new clip I have to pull it the 1/20th back before it will go at all. Its a pain in the ass. I went inside numerous times, and I found what I think is the problem. In the plunger tube the rounded thing that the catch catches it goes out just a centimeter(eyeballed)or two out, and I think that is the problem. Please help me with this, it is too late at night for me to bother searching(I'm in NJ)

When a stronger spring is added to the plunger the bolt sits slightly further forward when the plunger is primed. The solution is to trim the rear lip on the magazine so that it is clear of the bolt.You need to cut off the rear of the lip on the magazine. Like the left one pictured here.

I don't have a picture of this, but I'll try to explain what i did to fix mine. If you take out the plunger and look at the head, you'll see that there are little grooves on the end of the plunger rod and little slits on the plunger head. When you screw these peices back together, the grooves should go into the slits. If they don't your whole plunger assembly will be moved forward that extra 20th of an inch and will block the ciip. Just make sure that this is put together right. If that's not the problem, just do what CS said.

It's worth noting, but if that was the problem he wouldn't be able to put the magazine in at all.
