Feeling dumb - can not figgure out how to open the barrels. Help? I'm afraid I'll ruin the seal if I force it.

No worries you won't brake it it's very strong just pry it open a quarter works well. Have fun with your new tumbler.

I got the same issue at first. I managed to open it up this way: Hold the bottom plastic/clear at the point (the spout) with one finger in one hand, and your other hand is holding the the stainless/metal part, then pull the clear plastic part away from the stainless /metal part. Good luck. Hope it works for you.

Sorry...I just go this late. Lift the handle (it cant be locked in the base) and the lid releases. You also need to match it back up on the side with the arrow from the top of the lid...I believe its white arrow and needs to match up to the bottom piece. Hope this helps!

You shouldn't have to. First release the slide lock just above the hand grip on the left-hand side of the pistol and pull the slide back. At this point you can open the BB loading port but if you do push the slide back into place make sure the safety is pressed in so that it's showing on the right hand side of the hand grip. With the slide cocked or in the pulled-back position, push the "button" just below the barrel at the front of the pistol and the loading port will open. Load BBs in the square upper opening and then lower the port. The pistol came with a BB loading tube; I got a used one without the tube so I either load one-by-one by hand or with the funnel-top BB jar.

You try turning the gauge after measuring (without touching the barrel). There are measurements & lines in between the lines that you are seeing

There are two parts to the top. The first (outer) part you twist off. The second (inner) part can be pulled straight up or if it's stuck, use a knife to get under the edge and break the seal.

There is a lock and this must be slid back. Then the "S" plastic across the top has to be turned fully. There are 3 spacers around the edges and you can see when they are lined up so that the top is unlocked. Sometimes this is difficult because of the debris that accumulates between the lid and the edge of the barrel. Once I needed my husband to turn the top to unlock it for me, but the rest of times I've been able to do it, but I have to put my body (weight) into the turn.

Mine opened just not easily. I held the unit in both hands and pressed in the direction of the arrow with both thumbs. It required more pressure than I expected. Good luck!

I did most of the things others had to get ours open, but the needlle-nosed pliers worked for us. The important part is the putting it away. We used several layers of waxed paper underthe little depressed sealing lid. You still can turn the screw-on lid down on it (just not as far as you would have) and it gives you just enough lip to use the pliers more easily next time.

That was difficult for me too. I tried the "push button" method like with metal lids but that didn't work so well. After the jars had cooled off, (a couple of hours) I lightly pulled on the lid. there were a couple of lids that seemed sealed but when I was putting them away, the lid came off. I really didn't have any more failed seals than with the metal lids, just harder to tell.

If it isn't inside the barrel...remove white cap...add one from hardware store. I think mine was inside the barrel.

I have shot many pellets through mine without any problems. Maybe there is a pellet stuck in the barrel? Not sure what the return policy is, but if you can't get it open returning may be the best option.

Its very easy. Push and twist to put a new barrel on and twist and pull to take it off. Make sure it has cooled off. Hope this helps.

Dear Andrew: Hold between your hands; twist in opposite directions. It will open. Load (nutmegs, or ...), and reverse the action. If this doesn't work, you shouldn't own one.

I'm guessing you might not be turning the cap hard enough to break the seal. I have trouble opening bottles with caps like this, and I use a piece of rubber non-slip shelf liner to get a good grip on the cap to be able to turn it hard enough to break the seal.

My quess is it is for a 40 caliber, I would open it carfully as to not damage the packaging (in case you need to return it) and see if the fit is snug in the muzzel end of the barrel, Hint: do not push it in the muzzel end if it is a tight fit, the wing rings (Flaps) surrounding the Squeeg-E should bend slightly when you start to insert the tip to the first wing, if they do there is no need to go further, it will work. If it is loose or to tight to move through the barrel it wont do the job. Important: Always have a little oil in the barrel brfore pulling it through towards the muzzel end of the barrel.
