I have one of these and it worked great until salt caught some humidity and clogged up in there somewhere. I haven't been able to get it working again so far.
Put some isopropyl alcohol in the salt hopper and fire a few blanks through it. The company also sells salt with anti clumping agent in it. It's like $12, but it's like 3 years old and still not clumpy at all. Shoots great.
You bet. I've bought a few of these things over the years and love em to death. The 2nd edition is a pita to take apart keep it angled slightly nose down when you put the alcohol in but that should fix your issue. Dunno which rifle you have.

That's a good idea with the alcohol. Thank you friend.

Should be easy enough to locate blockage, just take a gander down the barrel (don't do this)

Well it's a salt rifle, not a salt assault rifle.

Could even be a lever action. Or that's one big-ass trigger guard

They left the pot of salt in the picture because they know their audience
