Basic Spyder (clone) maintenance question..

[Julesbloke]

Bit of a dumb noob question

When you remove the bolt from a Spyder or it's clones, it's done by undoing screws/removing the quick strip pin at the back. This allows you to slide out the bolt, velocity adjuster and hammer etc.

The hammer is connected to the bolt by a rod (don't know it's correct name). My problem arises when I put the marker back together: When I try to slide the bolt and hammer back into the marker body, the sear is in the way - because it's pushed up into position by a spring. The only way I can get the marker back together is by also removing the trigger frame, then putting back the hammer/bolt, then reattaching the trigger frame.

Am I missing a trick or something? This seems a bit of a complicated way to reassemble the marker, especially given that some Spyders have quick strip pins - why bother if you've gotta remove the trigger frame anyway?

OK - I'm probably being a muppett and have overlooked something really easy - but any help is appreciated

The Solution....

Turn your marker on ( or take off saftey ), push the working parts ( bolt etc ) gentley down into back of the marker until it stops...

Simply pull the trigger with a small bit of pressure on the working parts and...... they will drop down into place....

Done, sorted.....

some clones have a Seer Retraction button. Its usually located on the grip frame on the left hand side, at the top of the grip. if you have one it will put less wear on the marker than the other method. But if you dont have one, then just pulling the trigger is fine.
