Hello everyone,
My creed has not been used in months but i have just put my tank on it and its leaking.
It thows the bolt forward but it doesnt return.? The air is gushing down the barrel.
you can pull the bolt back by hand but then it goes forward again when you pull the trigger.
Can anyone help?

I'd advise opening it up and looking for damaged o-rings. Though I am not an expert with these things! Dev (member of Northants Giants) is usually pretty good with tech troubles. You can also try here: p8ntballer-forums.com/forums/tech-troubles.65/

Just had a look through a creed manual and it says this:
Problem: Bolt sticks forward
Cause: LPR pressure is too low. Ramer sail o-ring 200-011 ni70 is damaged. The internal 200-611 ni70 o-ring is damaged. The Solenoid is damaged. Input pressure from the HPR is too low.

Lol. If it comes to it you can have it posted back to me and I will bring it over to you. But I am sure it's probably something simple and very much hope it is not the solenoid.
Take it apart, follow the instructions, just do the normal thing of everything you take off put it in order so you know how to put it back together, you'll be fine. You'll know if one of the O-rings have gone as it liekly won't be an O anymore haha.
Your instructions should have the Oring codes that I put above and tell you where they are an how to get to them, so I'd try those first!

When was the last time it was oiled and where do you normally keep your marker?? As you live on a boat (cool in my opinion) I'm wondering if mixture of moisture and difference in temperature through the day could be the problem. I.E. moisture in O-Rings and changing temps causing them to distend, and therefore losing there shape.
Now that I have wrote that you will no doubt tell me its in a temp controlled dry room.......

The gun and all my pb gear is kept in the hold -area on the side of the boat- doesnt get cold as its near the burner but not hot enough to make a problem.
Was looked at last june by a gun mechanic who changed all the orings and pipot?

Orings can go at any point, maybe you had too much pressure going through it, was it all cronod?

I'd advise opening it up and looking for damaged o-rings. Though I am not an expert with these things! Dev (member of Northants Giants) is usually pretty good with tech troubles. Can have a look at it, but having not worked on them before I can't guarantee I'll fix it! Also need some air before I can test / fix anything else. And probably some spare time would help too.

Going to try and do it myself or i will never know. But if any of you are or know a good vanguard gun mechanic please point them in my direction.
