8.) When reassembling the pistons, don’t thread the lock nut on too tight. What will
happen if the piston assembly is too tight? (1 pt.)
Answer: If too tight, the nut will sandwich the leather against the wall and it will be
difficult to draw on the gun.
Bonus Question: (5 pts.) What is the best way to confirm the gun is working properly once
it has been rebuilt?
Answer: Place the t-pull between your feet and pull back and forth to confirm that the
gun is working properly. Place your palm against the end of the barrel while pulling to
confirm that the gun develops a strong suction. If it doesn’t, tighten the lock nut.
