DISASSEMBLY GUIDE
Proper
care and maintenance of your Raptor will ensure its long life and
reliable operation. This guide is written to help with standard
tear down as well as troubleshootingany problems you might come
across.
Tools
Needed
1 Flathead screwdriver.
2 Pliers.
3 Allen wrenches.
4 Wooden dowel.
5 Automatic transmission fluid or paintgun oil
6 Paper towels
Disassembly
Remove the barrel by turning counter-clockwise. Remove the bolt
plug and striker plug from the rear of the marker. When the
striker plug is removed the spring guide, spacer, and striker
spring can be taken out of the striker tube. Using pliers or a
screwdriver, remove the cocking knob from the striker. At this
point it depends on what type of Raptor you own. If you own an
old green Raptor you must use the cocking knob to remove the
connecting pin from the small hole in the top of the sight rail.
If you have a newer marker you must use the threaded end of the
spring guide to remove the connecting pin. After the connecting
pin is removed the bolt and striker can be slid out the rear of
the marker. This is as much tear-down as you need for the
standard cleaning and relubrication. If you are only cleaning the
marker, clean all the various parts and the bolt and striker
tubes. Lubricate the parts and tubes using ATF or paintgun oil.
Reassemble the marker using the reverse order of the disassembly
guide above. Pay close attention to the bolt and striker, making
sure you get them right side up. The newer bolts only have one
co2 delivery hole so there is a chance of getting i in
upside-down.
Valve
Disassembly
Use this guide if you have to replace any of the valve
components. First you must disassemble the marker using the above
guide. After the marker is completely disassembled, take out the
valve plug, valve spring, star washer, and cupseal from the front
of the marker. Check all of these components for wear and replace
any damaged parts. In order to remove the valve body you must
take off the grip frame. There are two allen screws, one in front
of the trigger guard and one behind the grip that must be
removed. After the grip frame is removed you will notice an allen
set screw just in front of the slot where the sear protrudes into
the striker tube. This set screw holds the valvebody in place.
When the set screw is removed the valvebody can be pushed out by
using a wooden dowel to shove it out the front or rear of the
marker.Now you can clean the whole striker tube. Clean and
lubricate everything and reassemble the valve. I recommend that
when you put the valvebody back in you install it so that the
blowback hole is on top closest to the bolt tube. This prevents
the chance that you will cover the blowback hole with the
valvebody set screw accidentally. When reassembling the valve pay
close attention to the cupseal. You need to make sure the stem on
the cupseal is seated properly in the hole of the valvebody. Use
a flashight if necessary to make certain the cupseal is in right
and that the star washer is seated properly on the end of the
cupseal before you install the valve spring and valve plug.
