Marauder Pistol - can't remove valve - allen screws to small

Postby condornh » Tue Dec 01, 2015 4:12 pm

Need advice:
Marauder Pistol - can't remove valve - Allen screws to small
The pistol I bought a year ago has 3 tiny sockets for the Allen headed screws holding the valve. They need a 5/64 Allen wrench and the wrench is just twisting trying to get those screws out.
Any advice ?

Absolutely make sure that there is no air pressure in the gun! While tight from the factory, never had a rounding issue using the correct allen wrench. The 5/64" is the correct size, Never use the ball socket style on this.

The OP posted on the GTA that there was indeed air left in the gun. :shock: Glad this did not turn into another valve in the thigh video, or worse.
