Had my gun now for almost 2 weeks. I've put about 1500 pellets through it, and I noticed today that there was a break in the seal that seals the spring chamber to the barrel. I'll post a pic in a few minutes, but does anyone know if this is necessary? I'm not really sure if this is something I'll need to replace right away, or if it's OK without it. Any help is much appreciated. _________________ "Enjoy Your Egg Whites"---Pam Landy   Posted: Tue Mar 23, 2010 4:30 pm AirGunEric Site Admin Joined: 20 Jan 2007 Posts: 6930 Location: "Out There" If the breech seal is broken, you will get air leading out on it's way to the pellet. better to replace it. _________________ ` I'd say "I care."

Is that the breech seal? _________________ "Enjoy Your Egg Whites"---Pam Landy   Posted: Tue Mar 23, 2010 5:00 pm themonsteraria Member Joined: 10 Mar 2010 Posts: 42 Location: Slippery Rock, PA Here are some pics of the culprit. Is this the breech seal that needs to be replaced? Or is it a different seal? _________________ "Enjoy Your Egg Whites"---Pam Landy   Posted: Tue Mar 23, 2010 5:23 pm themonsteraria Member Joined: 10 Mar 2010 Posts: 42 Location: Slippery Rock, PA I've been doing some looking, and it looks like I'll have to buy this kit to get the breech seal. Is this correct? Or are there other places that sell individual seals? http://www.archerairguns.com/QF-2-Cleaning-and-Parts-Kit-p/ibqf-2qb57.htm _________________ "Enjoy Your Egg Whites"---Pam Landy   Posted: Tue Mar 23, 2010 6:34 pm themonsteraria Member Joined: 10 Mar 2010 Posts: 42 Location: Slippery Rock, PA Well, I looked on some other airgun forums, and decided to go ahead and order the kit. I figure it's only $15, and I think the gun will provide me lots of enjoyment in the future, and this kit comes with basically all the parts I'll need to keep it firing well. Does anyone know how to take the breech seal out? Do I just yank it out, throw the new one in? Or do I have to get a spring compressor and take the whole thing apart? Thanks everyone. _________________ "Enjoy Your Egg Whites"---Pam Landy Seal?     Air Gun Home Forum Index » Rifles You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum All times are GMT - 5 Hours   Page 1 of 1   All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First  Select a forum Main Forums----------------AirGunHome Q&AGeneral Air Gun Questions and TopicsPicture GalleryTarget Shooting: Casual, Fun and CompetitionHunting, Pest Control, Varminting People/Events/Airgun Issue Discussion----------------Introduce YourselfThe BS TopicClubs/Events/Regional/Political Airgun Issues Maintenance, Modification and Reviews----------------RiflesPistolsAntique, Collector and Novelty AirgunsBB GunsPellets/AmmoOpticsAccessoriesAirgun Smithing Buy, Sell or Trade Forums----------------For SaleWant to Buy   Note: If you are seeing "Please enter your username and password to log in."
