     When I heard air hissing from the bolt area when I pumped it up , I   
   figured it was a worn seal on the pin in the valve assembly so I bought   
   a new pin . Well , today I finally got to work on it (grand daughters   
   came for a visit , brought their cold with them and I ain't been that   
   sick in a long time so ...) and yes the seal was bad . Because there   
   were nicks in the sealing surface inside the valve . Seeing as how new   
   valve assemblies are around 40 bucks delivered , I decided to try to   
   clean up that seat . Chucked it up in the lathe , put a 3/8" end mill in   
   the tailstock chuck and made a super light cut , turning the chuck by   
   hand and applying light pressure by hand .   
      It worked ! I have about 5 or 6 different pellets to test , both for   
   accuracy and velocity . I measured a few pellets of different brands and   
   they vary ... I expect the larger ones will give both better velocity   
   and accuracy .
