Help! Brand new 1377 will NOT shoot

[1377x]

are you putting a flat top piston/valve combo in your gun? if you do check the stock valve for corrosion
what kind of red dot are you putting on it?

This is the red dot I'll be using: https://www.cabelas.com/product/BSA174-22-Red-Dot-Riflescope/752253.uts

I wasn't planning on a flat top piston and valve and I'd have to do some serious reading to even know how. Just putting on the breech will be a first for me. I will try to check the hammer spring too while it's apart.
Thanks for the tips too JEBert and 1377.

Good call on that video Ed

I can't play that at work now, but it looks like one that I don't have bookmarked. Thanks for that link, I will watch it at home.

Edit - I have seen the first one, watched it twice already and I will again before doing the steel breech. Great video.
I haven't seen the second one so thanks for posting that. It looks like a good one too.

The second one is a great video too! Thanks for posting it 1377 and great job on the video Crosshairs. Having never opened up a gun and reading about you guys modding everything, it's REALLY helpful to see it opened up like that.
