Leak Fix For Any Co2 Gun - Works

[@williamhartnett4060]

How about the manufacturer use better quality parts so the customer doesn't have to modify their products inorder to use them.

[@Mechanicalcircus]

That would nice but they couldn't care less quality cuts into their already enormous profit margins! We have to stop giving them our money.

[@josueavila5210]

wishful thinking never solves anything

[@shanec3246]

That would mean a more expensive gun. The question you should be asking is "why do I buy cheap stuff and expect great quality?"

Hey guys, just to say. Watched your vid and tried this fix for my Chiappa Rhino and my ASG 1911. Seal worked like a dream both times. Massive thanks!

[@mikestrowbridge]

This made my defective Crosman 2240 work. It was blowing air out the barrel and I took it apart and put it back together and it stopped doing that and started blowing air out the back hammer spring and trigger area. I figured it was being stopped by the valve but blasting inside the air chamber so I ordered a new set of seals (just tonight). Then I tried your method and it started working. Now I know exactly which seal is wrong. I will save the rest of the kit for the future. Great fix. Thank you for posting this.

[@SeanLaMontagne]

The banter back and forth between you two makes these videos very entertaining

[@ShootfishProductions]

Thank you, glad you like our videos. 👍

[@mrhalfstep]

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.

[@Moses1973]

This worked for me with a vigilante. Unfortunately I had thrown a way a 1911 crossman BB pistol not knowing how to fix it. It was the first pistol I had gotten for my daughter darn it. Cheers from across the pond.

[@johnsimmons6467]

Cut a tiny slither of silicone tubing (aprox 5mm dia I think) and make a new seal. 6 inches of tubes makes a heap of seals

[@-ius-6502]

That's awesome!! Thank you so much. My S&W MP40 just started leaking and its only a month old! On the way to the store

[@bleikrsound6127]

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.

[@rick31869]

WOW REALLY GREAT IDEA IF THATS ALL YOU HAVE IN A PINCH !!!

[@billyyank1916]

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 tried your method on my Daisy Powerline 1200 BB pistol, and it stopped the leak completely where the neck of the CO2 cartridge is forced in. However, there is another leak further in the gun. I am only able to get a few more shots than previously before the CO2 leaks out. Any solutions for this additional problem?

[@ShootfishProductions]

Sorry, I dont know the gun, but there must be someone who has stripped one down, or get an exploded diagram. Most guns leak either from co2 or the valve.

Hi, I ordered a crosman 357. SNR about 2 months ago off Ebay for $94.00. $104.97 after tax. The gun was brand new, in the crosman box, I did drop the pistol once before even putting the co2 in, cringey, I know. But after putting a co2 cart in and screwing it tight, i still hear a slight pssssst sound and smell the gas. I looked at the small metal puncture mechanism that goes into the cartridge and saw no deformity and the green seal doesnt look broken, please can someone help with advice so I dont just throw a 100 dollar gun away?

[@ShootfishProductions]

try the ptfe tape fix as in the video, if it works you need a new green seal. problem is, those seals dont last long. You could try the co2 sealpro from shootfish.co.uk

[@danzelwasherton1234]

another way these seals are destroyed is from over tightening your CO2 cartridges. its tempting to really screw them down to stop any small leaking but this crushes them to death.

[@infinitesimal96]

Awesome fix, thanks for sharing 👍

[@raygauci1163]

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

usually they leak from the valve or the co2 seal. You could try a piece of duct tape on the co2 nipple.

[@raygauci1163]

Thanks a lot. I'll try that.

[@davelowets]

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.

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

[@ShootfishProductions]

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.

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.
