Paul taylor Posted January 5, 2018 Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 Evening gents. I have an FAC Air Ranger which is leaking a small amount when I fill the bottle with air, Also O ring on pellet probe/bolt is worn so passing a ittle air. just wondered if anyone on here knows the procedure for removing the bottle or has any manuals/instructions for said rifle. could even be tempted to strip and replace all seals if anyone has instructions to do so. Thanks in advance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.20 Hunter Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 Personally, I'd go to Daystate. to get the o rings sorted. They do use lock tight, so you could cause more harm than good. Failing that Staffordshire custom rifles. Airgun centre maybe able to help or Ronniesunshines. Good luck getting it sorted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul taylor Posted January 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 Cheers. 20 hunter. I can do bottle and pellet probe without taking rifle apart so may just do the ones that deffinetly need doing. just need to know how to take bottle off safely.

turbo33 Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 Paul, pm me your address and I’ll send you some probe o rings. Also, it would be unlikely the bottle seal had given up if the bottle hasn’t been disturbed. My fac airwolf was losing air, and I thought that was coming from the bottle seal as I have changed bottles back and forth. It turned out to be the fill valve weeping air as it wasn’t tight enough. Just gave it a slight tweak up and all is now fine. The rifle was new five years ago, and always held air from day one. I guess things just need tightening now and again.

Paul taylor Posted January 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 (edited) Hi T33. I have already ordered some o rings for the probe but thank you for your very kind offer, it's much appreciated. never even thought to try nipping up the fill probe even though I had wondered if that's where the leak was. I will bring some tools home tomorrow and give it a try. I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks again. Paul. Edited January 9, 2018 by Paul taylor auto incorrect?

Paul taylor Posted January 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 well. looks like T33 was correct. Nipped up filling probe and leak looks to be gone, just need pellet probe seals to arrive and she will be like new. Thanks for the help T33?
