The answer to what your looking for
The stoeger xm 1 is known for its problems, leaking seals, breaking mags, gas rams either break quickly 1in100+ say, springers act like the last longer but lose power gradually, both should be good for several thousand.

Cheers.
I'll mibee have a quick look at it.
But to be honest a bit nervous when uve got 200 bar pressure in it.
And got a long list of projects already without adding more
Is it easy knocking pellets out a barrel? I cant imagine its that easy and im pretty sure be multiple pellets up there. Took me a few shots to realise pellets wernt even leaving the barrel.

If you are lucky the pellets may well push out with a rod if they have not meshed together too much, you might have to take the barrel off to make it easier, or even resort to heat in extreme cases, just empty the rifle of air if you need to strip it, as SD mentioned earlier, it probably just needs an "adjustment" to bring the power back to Around 11.5 ftlbs .
A friend has a PCP for his scouts to use. Managed to end up with 5 in the barrel. Brass rod and a gentle tap and they all came back out the way they went in.
Tried it to see why they were sticking. Turned out the gauge on the rifle was sticking showing good preasure while actually nearly empty.

I put a rod down only to confirm.
I could just see them being a nightmare once u tap 1 into the 1 behind it.
Yhe boy in gunshop did ask if i had had a go at them, i got the impression amatuers tend to make it worse.
Didnae realise i hadnae postrd this

As an update i had a go with rods, pellets came out nae bother.
I couldnae believe how easy they came out
Must admit i was scared to even try at the time incase i made it worse.
So im back to the original problem.
Pellet in cock it and fire nothing happens.
I put pump in within 5 or 10 pumps was readi g 200 bar.
But reading 0 when i put filler in, i take it it doesnae back pressure down the filker libe to pump guage?
Got no idea wot problem could be.
Not even sure if full off air or empty

Can you photograph the filling probe set up. This sounds like something really simple going on here.As an update i had a go with rods, pellets came out nae bother.

Are you saying the pump gets pressure up but it isn't going into the rifles reservoir?
As @Smellydog says, sounds like the air isn't reaching the reservoir, should almost get you breaking a sweat hand pumping!
Did the falcon come with the fill probe your using?
How hard is it to get the fill probe into the fill port?
Had issues with my xm1, but a rub of the fill probe with silicone grease sorted it as un lubed it didn't align properly.

Cheers folks.
No i bought the fill probe when i bought the stirrup pump.
I could take the 1 off the divers bottle to try that.
The 1st time i filled it it took a lot of pumping and i think i over filled it.
But it seemed normal

Scrub the last post, it is the filler probe off the divers bottle i used.
So not a new probe.
Tried to pump it up again 10 pumps and seems to be at 200bar and pump bouncing up. But pressure guage dropping pretty quickly.
5 mins later and guage almost zero and no pressure in pump.
No idea if im just pressurising hose?
Or if resivoir is fully pressured ( but that means been sitting full to brim for 2 years, with no leaks) and some reason its not letting air into the action?

No guage on rifle.
Me being stupid/naive with pcps, never stopped at 200 bar, had the guage on pump at 250+.
It took a fair few pumps and a coffee break, so i assume it filled the resivoir.
But never helped with the pellet power.
Thats when i had a quick google and persumed i over filled it.
So fired some empty shots off to get pressure down.
Google thought i might of done the seals?
But no obvious air loss to me.
Since im a complete newbie to pcp's and dont know anyone with 1 either so no idea wots normal or not.
Could well be ive done something stupid.
But the divers bottle has no guage either so no idea how they filled it previously, althou possibly easier when both are filled to 200 bar, why pump goes up to 300 bar.

Sounds like it could well do with some new seals/ I`d look at depressurising the cylinder & get a service seal kit for it.

Could you physically hear air coming out each shot and if so how many dry firings did you complete?

No idea, was 2 yrs ago.
I think it sounded like air was coming out but no idea if right amount.
I think i done 30 or so as thought that might be 1/2 a fill or so
When i 1st bought it would fire a pellet just not with any power

Hello, How long have you had the Falcon ?? There cannot be much wrong as they are a pretty basic PCP
