Is it advisable to use em on guns that dont leak as a prevention rather than a cure? Ive heard alot of people in my circle talk about these but not brought them i wanna be the 1st 😂. Only messing but my question is a serious 1. Hope you guys are well
Hi, we wouldn't say it's necessary to use them as a preventive measure, you're better off using a tiny dab of pellgun oil or silicone grease on every co2 capsule. Its a leak cure for people who cant or dont want to strip their gun down to repair or replace the seal. Would love the sales by recommending to use them as preventive, but we are honest guys. Thanks for watching and enquiring.
@@ShootfishProductions thanks for being so honest man world lacks alot of it these days. I'm going to order a small pack any way just so they are there when/if needed thanks a million. 😊🙏🍻
Good job! Reminds me a lot of me taking things apart to fix…I like how you didn’t edit out your struggles and mishaps…As you took it apart it seemed to get more complicated and messy, so I was impressed to see you get it back together! I was disappointed initially when you said you would do it off camera, but then you went ahead and filmed it anyway and I thought it was a satisfying accomplishment!
Thanks for watching, and yes spot on, it got more messy the deeper it got, very challenging, and I was genuinely amazed it came together. We do try and keep things real, warts and all, thanks for appreciating that.
I keep breaking the grip by tightening it too hard, glued it back on like 3 times now because idk how tight to do it + my seal is shot i think (using the elite force h8r airsoft)
Brill video we had one of these as kids used it all summer etc in the end we grew up moved out dad started using it for pesky greys squirrels had a proper hair trigger when re cocked he took it to gun shop & got it fixed i bought a ox spring for it back in the days but never got to fit it no such thing as RU-vid back then 👏👏👍
After living with two Sig Sauer We The People 1911 .177 for a year, first one, then the second, contracted the dreaded CO2 dump affliction in both magazines. While there can be multiple reasons for such malfunctions, on my two examples I found just one, and found it could be mitigated by simply preventing that CO2 cylinder from turning while you tighten. Did you ever notice how your CO2 cylinder sometimes spins with every twist as you tighten it to pierce? Why is that important? The piercing valve at the top of the magazine is counter-threaded, (righty-loosey, lefty-tighty). So when you tighten the CO2 against the piercing valve, as it is pushed against it hard, it has a tendency to actually turn the valve itself slightly. Especially if you properly lube the top of an occasional CO2 with a drop of Pellgun Oil like you should, to keep the O-rings, seals and valves in shape. Counter-intuitively, unlike a brand-new unlubricated gun in which the tip of the CO2 "grabs" the dry white (in my magazines it's white, could be green in yours), seal as it's getting pierced, mostly preventing it from turning even if you don't tightly hold it, a properly lubricated setup may not "grab" as well and spin. Don't think skipping the lube is a solution... that white seal really DOES need to be lubricated to prevent it drying out over time. Thus, as time goes by, CO2 cylinders eventually spin REALLY easily as you tighten to pierce them. It's surprising just how hard you then have to grip it to stop it from turning inside the magazine as you do. As you tighten and pierce the CO2 and it spins clockwise while you're doing it, trust me that cylinder is pushing hard against the piercing valve seal, which it will inevitably turn clockwise too, loosening it, if only just a little. As once was famously said, a little got more and more... PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFT! Worst part of all this is that it's darn near impossible to find a valve key (like the one that you got in the re-build kit!), that will fit within the confines of my empty magazines which would allow me to simply and easily just tighten that damn valve, leaving you to use flathead screwdrivers and the like, potentially damaging the needle or valve itself while not being able to really tell just how tight you got it. I eventually took some online advice I saw, carefully UNSCREWED THE PIERCING VALVE, removed and cleaned the o-ring or (replace it if you have one), cleaned the threads and put the o-ring back on, silicone lubed it all, then WRAPPED PLUMBERS TAPE AROUND THE WHOLE THING, both the mounted o-ring and threads, before COUNTER-CLOCKWISE screwing the assembly back in as tightly as I could with no valve key. Another drop of Pellgun oil to top a new CO2, and tighten. While I got a quick sputter it immediately became silent - it held air! Since then, even leaving a full CO2 loaded for weeks or even months has caused me no ill effects as long as I kept the white piercing-valve seal "hydrated", kept from drying out. And following these instructions. So as a preventative measure, if you grab your CO2 tightly while getting loaded. you'll probably always have a nice day!
@@ShootfishProductions ok thats great....maybe i missed something....i just cant see what puts tension on the Sear Return spring.....? ok i ask because i have just fixed one .....and like yours the safe slide was missing....and the sear spring.... i got a new sear spring and found it had no were to tension it......i had to Fabricate a fake safe slide...that is in just the trigger Internals....and it works great.....i did read that a sear spring from a victor....fits the hawk3 without the need for a safe slide.....so i think thats what is in your hawk....:)
I don't understand why you don't just change the CO2 bulb seal directly? It costs 2 pounds less than that Teflon, and there's not as much bullshit! You're making videos just to stay busy! LMFAO

My snub nose 357 model had this same issue with bad leakage and now it holds like it's factory new. Always the simplest fixes for the most expensive repairs, so glad i found this video.
Sorry I dont know, I get them from a local shop, usually 20 at a time. Some people say the brand can make a difference on shot count. Thanks for asking, in future I will say what brand we use.
I have one of these but the sight on the end of the barrel is not in line...I've tried twisting it with mole grips but it's as if it's cast to the barrel off centre...
I've had my storm for a year,went through about 100 cartridges,I've shot about 100 BB's,co2 leaks from the loading point,after 8months I finally stopped the leak,worked beautiful for a month,now the co2 blows out the barrel,first air gun,paid almost 300 bucks for it,I want to smash it off the wall.no more air guns for me
