why does this rifle not fire just a few days after the warranty expires?

This problem sounds very similar to the problem the Steel Storm typically has. From the description of this gun I wouldn't be surprised if this has the same internal design only with a longer barrel. I had the same problem with my Steel Storm and it acted like the seal on the valve that the firing pin hits is sticking. So I shot some aerosol teflon lubricant down the barrel and calked and fired it a few times and that fixed it.

Just call Kyle or someone else at service dept 479-646-4210 x507. Don't worry about the "warranty", just say you "recently purchased" it <which you did ;) > Despite all the bad mouthing of Umarex's customer service they WILL work with you! Called Customer Support and, at their request sent the Force I got last year to them (2) weeks ago. Results were satisfying! The reason I know so much is I just called Customer Support today to check on my returns repair status and was informed a new Force was Fed'Xd to me yesterday. Bravo Umarex!

I haven't had a single issue with this rifle, and ive had it for about 7 months now. Fired over 10,000 rounds easy. That burst function eats bb's. I've always used clean ammunition fresh out of the container, never any reused rounds. It may just be jammed. Have you tried cleaning it at all? Or even using some air rifle oil?

Mine hasn't worked since I opened the package. I didn't return the product because the yellow 'Do not return this product to the store" was in the box. I called Umarex and they want me to pay to ship the Steel Force to them for warranty work. I am still negotiating with them.

After doing some research I discovered that CO2 in a sealed container only produces 60.4 Pounds per Square Inch (PSI) at 69.9 degrees F. At 70 degrees F it produces 852.8 PSI. This information was provided by Pyramyd Air Guns. I warmed my CO2 cartridges before inserting them in the Steel Force. The gun worked perfect. I will try it again tomorrow.

Break action. You kind of have to firmly pat the barrel to get it to break. Not sure if this is a design defect of just because its way more powerful then my first air rifle.

It sounds as thought the sear isn't resetting. Check the action of the trigger bar, it may need to be adjusted. There are instructions how to do this on the Apex website.

I'm sorry. We are happy with the air rifle and don't want another one, so I can't help you. If others suggest getting "another",I would ask "them" what they recommend. Thanks.

I talked with Hornady because I was curious about the warranty and they told me that it has a lifetime warranty. I've put thousands of cases through mine and it works wonderfully. It's rugged as a tank too!Add: Most of the bad reviews that I've read have to do with improper set-up. Truth is, the instructions are not that clear, so I'll bet that happens a lot. But once it is set up (especially the cam lock) it is dead accurate and doesn't drift:)

Well I've had mine for almost 2 months now and it still works fine but not a 100%. Ever since I had an airsoft war with my friends using this gun, I've had a ton a problems with it like when I would cock it a couple bbs would fall out and when I would shoot it 2 bbs would come out at the same time and shoot up no matter what bbs you use.So to answer your question if your going to have an airsoft war with it 1-2 days and you will most likely have issues with it but if your going to just screw around with it and like shoot around your house or at your friends then it should last you a few months.I hope I helped :) Well I've had mine for almost 2 months now and it still works fine but not a 100%.

I would suggest looking online or just buy a new gun since they are so cheap? If you think it may be broke, first try taking it out. My sister thought she broke the needle and it was actually just jammed.

I shouldn't. I've fired over 200 rounds and haven't had any type of misfire, or failure to fire. Just make sure that the rails in the receiver line up properly, and make the screw hand tight.

Zeroed in on a High Point 995 TS in 4 rounds. Really liked it but after 100+ rounds started to drop out turning off. Found I had to select between numbered settings and couldn't trust it would stay on. Also took one battery to determine on / off of sight. Really thought I had a winner however unless I can figure out how to set so it holds in the on position will return to my scope and file this in the $20 loss column. Any thoughts from other users how to deal with this issue. Appears to be a recoil issue.

Try remounting the scope, reset it to factory, and adjust to your preference. If that doesn't not help I would ask, are you breathing before you pull trigger because when you fire your pulling down and naturally the gun wants to follow.

Is the rifle new? The reason I ask that is because if someone else owned it they might have put in a longer trigger adjustment screw and if you turn that to far clockwise it will cause the rifle not to cock because it will not let the sear make contact with the trigger. Just for the heck of it screw the trigger adjusting screw out counter clockwise. remember how man turns you made so if that is not it you can put it back like it was. Dutch

The trigger is controlled by an optical sensor, so perhaps dust or something could be causing it to misfire.

That's a common concern with RWS rifles. It's from a lack of lube on the seal in the compression chamber. Purchase some RWS chamber lube. It's available from Amazon. Expensive, but absolutely necessary. Only takes a few drops. Google it, there's some videos available online that show minor maintenance of these rifles.

I would of contacted Crossman before wacking it against a brick wall since you've only had it for two weeks!!! Try some WD-40. I just had mine out over the week end, sighting in an upgraded scope. Works awesome still! Never had issues with cocking it, actually never have lubed the barrel either. Good Luck!

Maybe some of the ammo is jammed? You should play with it unloaded first to get the whole system used to working
