Sorry for our misfortune, I know how you must feel. But this is strange: I have loaded long Mares airguns hundreds times, with the factory standard shafts, and (except for the first two or three times) the tricks have always worked
.
Did you release some of the air? As suggested before, loading it at 35 atm would give hard times to everybody, while at 20 or 25 atm it would be easier to load, yet powerful to shoot.
THE MYTH
The
power reductor works with a no-return valve that splits the air reservoir in two: when you switch it, part of the air remains in the barrell, while the other part is trapped by the valve inside the handle.
So when you pull the shaft down the barrel on half power, it's supposed to meet only a fraction of the air to make resistance. Then after, when you put the switch back on full power, you lift the block, so that all the air meets again in the same place: BOOOM!
So what?
Maybe I understated the fact that you, being very muscular, can pull all the shaft down in one single stroke. The action should be
fractioned, to allow the no return valve to capture a portion of the air (it works as every other valve: air can get in, but then not out). "Fractioned"means: pull down half shaft, pause, release it a bit, then all down with a brief pause at half track.
After all, away from any power reductor thing, the shaft should not bend if it's pulled down straight: the force that pulls down must be parallel to the axis of the shaft. Differently, even the strongest steel can be bent by a strong man like you.
I tried to help. If these tips will not work, I don't know what else I could say.
Regards, and all the best to you.
