Hey guys I finally made my pneumatic barrel sealing piston valve air gun but when I release the air in the back the piston does not come back, I think it might be to snug of a fit.
Any help would be appreciated thanks,
Fuller

Ya and the rest of the things I asked, whats your pilot, whats it housed in, it should be able to move freely also are you using a shop compressor to try to actuate it???

Probably the opposite that or the pilot valve it too small.
