    Well it's leaking air capable of holding 300 BAR (4350 PSI). Good thing I keep the proper o-rings on hand and the special tools needed to work on these high end guns.

    It has a complex air pressure gauge / fill port and is leaking there. Several O-Rings in this one area.

    Well the leak was not at the Air Gauge. On these high end air guns there are little tell tell holes to let you know where the leak is. This leak is so Sloooow.

    Watch the video and you can see where the breach is. I will be tearing the gun down further soon to replace some more o-rings

    Well breaking it all down today and replacing some more O-Rings and upgrading the Air Gauge. The O-ring Store is nice they always send you a mint with you order.

    All fixed. Had to clean up the washer springs and replace all the o-rings in the pressure regulator.

    Getting the barrel aligned back properly is a real chore...

    All back together.

    Here are some pics from my old Chrony numbers printed and using the same walmart 14.3 gr pellets it maybe 15-20 FPS off now after I messed with the regulator. I'm not worried about that.


    I use duct seal as a back stop when I shoot the airguns indoors.

    Wow! That's really cool. I'd be very intimidated pulling that thing apart.

    What's the accuracy like on those?

    Ken that is really cool!!! never been into air rifles but this makes me want to get one. I am a hopeless tinkerer too so something like this may be right up my ally. You gotta post a video of it in action when you get it up an going. Very neat.
