Void the warranty right off the bat? You buy a brand new Silverado and it’s leaking do you fix it or shove it at the dealer ?

To the dealer

depends on where you live and where the dealer is?
when in the alaskan bush you would possible live with it or fix it yourself if it wasnt major.
when you have to weight six or eight minths to get you truck and add thousands to get it knowing if you send it in to the dealer you will be out thousands and maybe a truck for the hext year, yea you fix it.
and your next truck and every other truck for the rest of your life will be a FORD.
and live good know if the FORD and a issue the dealer will fly a machanic out on their dime for a new truck.

so its all perspective.

I'm sorry, but you have violated a rule of Ham, you will now be removed from this Forum. (Ford and Air Arms are not allowed in the same chat) Fords make me money, Air Arms costs me money (they shoot pellets so well!) Although the new Broncos look ok and are (mostly?) made in America. I agree that a day will come when I'm fixing my own pcps but let's not when the gun is still shiny and new with full warranty! (unless it's a simple external o-ring leak of course)

We are talking about a simple air rifle not a 2024 Ford F150 Platinum. Dig in there and try to figure it out. If you can’t figure it out then send it back. They will never know you tried to fix their problem to do them a favor. The big plus side is once you have the courage to dig in and figure it out you are a free man. You no longer need to worry about a problem and sending your rifle off for who knows how long or the cost to do so.

I preach send it in but most of my Edgun stuff I do myself with the exception of obvious warranty things like bad regs but if it’s leaks I fix them

My guns (this is fairly common) will fill up nice to max and then 'drop' a tad off the needle next day sometimes. If I top it up again it will stay put the second time. Being a person who pumps my guns by hand leaks are scary, I'd suspect once I have a compressor it wouldn't be as bad, as the thought of degassing one, fixing it and then hand pumping from empty doesn't interest me at all.
@FL22 you said someday you want a nice springer as well. With your luck I'd say...YES you should get one

With the air being warm when filling due to crushing the molecules it’s normal to get a small drop in pressure as the air cools down. All of my pcp’s do the same thing, from my PRod to the Impact.
