Tip - cut a slingshot band (flat type) slightly larger than the c02 tip, which will loosely stick to the tip with oil applied. After the first c02 makes a seal, you should be able to use quite a few before having to change out the rubber. Retail slingshot rubber is probably the highest quality available.
@@robbiedxd5474 Duct tape was first developed to be used to seal the connections in heating and cooling ducting. So I guess Duck tape is used for taping up ducks?
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.
Automatic Transmission reconditioning fluid will sometimes fix this problem. Many times the problem is caused by leaving a spent or nearly spent cartridge in the gun for an extended time. The piercing pin seal will take on the shape of that cartridge's neck and hold the shape. When a cartridge of a slightly different shape is put in, the seal doesn't make contact all around and you get a leak. The AT seal conditioner can be applied liberally to the seal and left for a few days and it will soften and relax back to its original shape. Always remove your cartridge when finished shooting, even if there is gas left in it, and just tighten the cartridge until the hiss stops, not over tight. It will keep the seal leak free. A drop of light oil or Pellgunoil on the neck will keep all the other seals in good shape.
Putting a little Vaseline AROUND the neck of the Co2 cartridge sealed mine up just fine. Do NOT PUT VASELINE ON THE END of the Co2 cartridge, if you do, it WILL end up inside the valve and screw up the gun. JUST put the Vaseline AROUND the neck of the tip.
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)
I've had a $30 1911 bb gun sitting in a drawer for years, I always thought the issue was the metal tube itself, but I'll try this in a few hours when I get back home Update: no luck
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
@@SimCon68 thank you for this comment, I swear finding airsoft revolver repair information feels like the old days of the internet when you had to search through hundreds of forums to find a couple lines of information
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
Just found this interesting thread. I cannot fix the leak from the valve. I changed the o rings but it's still leaking. Can I use duct tape somewhere on the valve? Can you pls help. Thanks
I oiled my co2 bulbs religiously but still the seals went on my webley MVI after 5 co2 bulbs, and same with my Colt saa peacemaker and l always removed them after a shooting session that lasts around 30 to 40 mins, so l wonder if the pelgun oil isnt just a market strategy because it aint proved much use up to now.
I think the design of these guns is flawed. They should put the seal on the co2 bulb, then you have a new seal every time, bit like the ptfe tape method.
I ordered a new Gamo Pellet gun when they were on sale last fall. When the weathrr warmed up this spring i took it out for its first shots. As soon as i tightened the co2 cartridge it started leaking. I tightened it as tight as I dared. I just figured it was a C note down the drain. I'll give this a try.
Thanks for the info on the PTFE tape when I first screwed it in it squirted for 3 secs but once I continued to screw it in it stopped. Thanks so much. I wasted two CO2 cartridges prior to finding your video and PTFE, as I screwed pin in and they just leaked like crazy so they were wasted.
@@ShootfishProductions There must be better quality seals available. Also things like not leaving a CO2 cartridge compressed against rubber seals for long periods and the pistol/rifle not being used for a long time. This way is a bit of a PITA. I've seen other videos where this method wasn't consistent and reliable. There's gotta be a better way.
@@ozzie444l used pel gun oil and never had a co2 bulb in for more than 40 mins but still the seals went on my Webley VI after just 5 bulbs, likewise with my Colt peacemaker, its a huge fault with the webleys ive had 4 done the exact same after just a few bulbs, one got new seal in ( allegedly ) under warranty, first co2 l put in pshhhwww all co2 evicted in seconds, got refund off two of em because they deemed it easier than fixing it, its been a big fault in lots of co2 pistols, the guns are beautifully made but when you cant rely on the seals not to last for more than around 250 pellets its very annoying and off putting from buying more, surely there must be a better make of seal somewhere or a better delivery system
Just got a wingun revolver(airsoft) in a trade and it did this after 3 cylinders of co2 before this happened. The guy who owned it before me left a pressureised canister in the gun for a week or so
Just got home with my brand new Glock 19 BB gun (last one in stock and it’s illegal to order online here in ny) and I get home and the co2 just shoots down the barrel no matter if I press the trigger or not
Does the co2 fit in a removable mag? If so it should be fairly easy to fix. Sounds like the main valve isnt closing properly. Without co2 in press the pin on the valve and squirt some silicone oil in around the pin while holding the pin down. The pin is where the hammer hits and releases a burst of gas. If that doesnt work the valve assembly will need removing and new o rings fitted. If the co2 fits straight in the gun and doesnt come out with the mag, the gun will need stripping to get the valve out. Hope this helps. We will be making a video soon about co2 leaks.
You don't know how much I appreciate this. I bought an airgun replica of Webley revolver (civilian, snubnosed model) at the start of this year and the darn seals broke only four months in. However, this video did just the trick for my leakage problem and I haven't had a leak ever since!
I had to come back and tell you. I just got two out of commission guns working. I had to use duct tape, but they’re working. I’m a little peeved at the makers of these guns. I believe the piercing point needs to be more robust. They seem to be breaking from being frozen when a cartridge that still has co2 in it is expelled for storage. I think waiting until the gun has time to warm up before removing the exhausted cartridge may help alleviate this problem. I’m not enthusiastic about buying another to test the theory though. Any way you slice it , a close look at those piercing nubs indicates that they’re too soft and weak. They look like brass. Stainless would be a better option. I do enjoy these guns, but I’m not buying a new one every year because they malfunction. It could be beneficial to contact these companies and inform them of the problem and a reluctance to purchase more until the problem is remedied. The peckerwoods aren’t getting another dime from me unless something is done.
Hi I think my new purchase needs fixing. No issues as of yet But last few days every Co2 cartridge starts to leak as soon as I tighten. I think the pin is broke? Do you have any suggestions I have wasted 5 CO2s in 30 Minutes. Why does the gas leak every time I tighten, this hasn’t happened before. Awful awful.
@@dylanhardman7984 check with a torch, maybe its broken, but dont think it would puncture the co2 if it was. Get some gas ptfe, its thicker and easier to put on.
