Pistol Help.....

[Seejay]

Hey guys, just recently bought a Pistol from the Classifieds, and i tried it out today, only to find out that it pi$$ed out gas from the 12g Co2 plug. I took it apart and had a look at the valve, and the seal where the 12g meets the Valve is Knarled and completely buggered. Hence the leaking of Gas. Basically, since i don't want to go though all the trouble of getting a new seal shipped over from the states, is there anything i could attach to the original seal for it to seal properly, or does 32 Degrees have a UK dealer? or could i perhaps use a combo of o-rings and if so which ones?

Thanks, Chris

What pistol is it?

It's a PT Extreme Mate

I had the same problem with a Delta 68, Im guessing the O-ring is the same size in both markers as it seals the 12grm, might only have 1 spare but PM me your addy and I'll chuck one in the post for you, also I dont know if you can on the PT but on mine you can increase the pressure of the clamp that holds the 12grm in so try doing that up a few turns as well

You Legend Fly, you've Saved my Bacon!

Will Pm you

you tried putting a **** load of ptfe tape on it?

 

[Seejay]

nah, i doubt it'd work

Besides, if Fly has a spare seal then problem solved.

Cheers, Chris

If he doesnt try a small piece of leather it worked for me.

hmmm...i think i'll try that idea while the seal is on its way to me...cheers bud

Just lay it over the end of the 12 gram then plug it in? or fix it to the valve?

Cut a circle bigger than the sparklet and put a small hole in it so you dont get any leather inside the pistol.It gets a bit fiddly tho but it works.
