does the plunger allow grease to bypass to the rear of the gun, my present gun wastes at least 1/3 of the grease this way?

i haven't put a new tube of grease in yet but it was very tight when i loaded it. i doubt it got past the plunger.
1120395
No, it hasn't so far. But its still new and the seal is still in good shape.

mine does'nt. supposed to be ables to load without cartridge. I hav'nt but it should'nt leak.

It works perfectly, no issues at all. Infact this is one of the better made grease guns.

Yes, when removing the plunger on the rear sight be sure to do it carefully so you don't lose the spring

Sure you can swap the rigid barrel with a flex barrel. They have the standard grease gun threads. No leaking. Remember to read the loading instructions that come with the gun. Read them carefully, and follow their directions. It's important that all air is pumped out of the cartridge head before tightening the head. This is for all mini grease guns.

You can fill the gun with a bulk fitting, but over very little time this makes a undesireable mess coming out the back end. Use regular refill cartridges and you will not be disappointed with this gun.

I had a similar problem when I first got my press. I have found that keeping gun powder out of the slide area and keeping the slide lubed with Horandy spray lube has resolved the issue. Once the slide gets fouled with gunpowder, at least in my case, that's when I have issues with the plunger rod. Hope this helps. Mike B.

I have not used the plunger often enough to be able t answer your question.

I suppose. I didn't want to ruin the finish of my brand new M&P9.; So, I took it to a gunsmith. I wrapped my other pistols with blue tape to protect the finish as much as possible. They were used so I didn't mind. Just ensure the pusher is lined up with the front sight channel, before you attempt to remove. Hope that was helpful. It even worked on my XD, which is reported to be the hardest.

I'm not sure, but I am sure that it is important to use the right lube on the right parts. If the literature that came with that gun is unclear, I would inquire at www.UmarexUSA.com.

I do not know specifically what they are eluding too. The gun does come with a slight coating of oil on it and had to wash my hands when I first handled it. I used a rag just clean the whole gun up. I can think of anything else.

The air at the top of the new cartridge needs to be bled off. I just left my grease gun in a hot place (July sunshine) for a few minutes with the pump end up and loosened about 1 turn.

I use a lithium spray just around the pivot point, I imagine any actual grease is going to be quite messy

Is yours leaking any fluids by chance? Mine started to shoot just puffs of air 90% of the time and I noticed that it had oil / grease leaking from the black plastic bit just above where the connection is on the gun. Only used it 2x, no jams, never used higher than 100 psi etc. In the process of sending it back and getting a porter-cable.

if this is like the 1 liter one I have, there should be a little insignia of an oil can right in front of the trigger on the top right before the brass rod that goes down into the cup. From what I have gathered, it is not oil that is needed but every now and then add a little petroleum jelly or other water NON-soluable grease just to keep the o-ring pliable...if it dries out, pump won't work...go to Solo site, this explanation should be there

Does your pressure only stall with the surface cleaner or does it also stall out with a regular gun? Either way it sounds to me that you might have an issue with the unloader valve on pump itself.

It's mostly the outer bearing. I don't think it can easily push the grease all the way to the inner bearings, although I never had an issue with the inner bearings. If your inner bearing gasket isn't leaking it shouldn't be an issue anyway. As long as you re-pack your bearings once in awhile you will be fine if everything is installed correctly. These definitely help though, especially if you were to have a seal go out, it could keep it greased for awhile.

I bought this one for my dad, but I have 2 others for my Smith & Wesson and my Beretta, and neither one of these needs any lubrication to work perfectly. Have you tried this loader with more than one type of ammo?I would instect the feed ramps for and burrs or imperfections, short of that or the ammo being the problem, I would send it back and get a replacement item. All mine work great and my dad says his works great, you may just have a bad one.Sorry, I hope this helps.Taylor
