The Burpster Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 Do you mean the O ring that sits on the magazine tube to seal the gas port onto the magazine tube? Yes there was on mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M ROBSON Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 Best to carry a spare O-ring round in your shooting jacket, their easy to change if it goes. I had a guy out at the geese this last season and his went after the first shot one morning. He had to sit and watch his mates shoot all the geese!! Mark.

tungsten Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 Mine is relatively new and its the O ring that holds the piston on the magazine tube. remove the O ring and the piston sildes off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowboy1403 Posted May 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 thanks for the comments. i think i`ve found the o-ring,there was one between the fore-end and the part of the gas cylinder that is fixed to it witha ring clip. i will call in at the gunsmith to check that i have found the right one.

wisecobandit Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 As far as the manual says im sure its only the wooden stocks that use the o ring not on the synthetic?I maybe wrong tho.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edward Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 I have a synthetic and it deffinatly has an o ring and will not work without, it is between the barrel and the piston. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tungsten Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 Yes my synthetic too (see photo previous). Really can see why wood or synth would have any effect on the internal working of the piston? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Burpster Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 (edited) As far as the manual says im sure its only the wooden stocks that use the o ring not on the synthetic?I maybe wrong tho.. Indeed you are mistaken....... The O ring sits on the Magazine tube and seals the barrel gas port onto the mag. tube so that all teh gasses go into driving teh piston back and cycling teh action. This applies to all models of Escort. Remember the manual is translated from Turkish, in places badly ..... Simpuls..... (post #6 above is perfect illustration).

Yes the transaltion is quite something anyone make sense of the "secret code" or locate the "two notches" as at some point I will need to strip the gun down for a good cleaning.

gixer1 Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 (edited) Tungsten, If you remove the barrel and take the stock and action (you will need to push the button to allow the action to slide forwards if you have not done so already) and put your thumb on the face that the firing pin comes out of and apply slight pressure you will see the action moves slightly befor the cocking handle does, basically pull on the cocking handle lightly as you apply pressure with your thumb. and as for the o-ring- it is the last thing to put on before the barrel goes on.

cowboy1403 Posted May 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 is the piston surposed to come out of the cylinder because it dosent on this one what i need to know is the piston surposed to be stuck so to say in the cylinder. there is movement on it but dosent slide out and i dont wantto try forcing it. there is however a o-ring inbetween the metal piece andthe plastic of the fore-end. in the pic you can see a silver metal spring ring,if that is removed you take out the metal end and see the o-ring.but this would be hard to remove in the field to replace.

gixer1 Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 the piston should come ourt of the barrell....give it a tap from the top, you'll probably find that the o-ring has perished and is jamming it in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gixer1 Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 Yeah, you are better putting the piton on the mag chamber then putting the barrell on (as apposed to putting the piston in the barrell and then putting both onto action/stock. You'll probably find that the "crud" if inspected is the mashed up o-ring, i was using my escort for geese this year and the heavy cartridges ate an o-ring. Regards, Gixer.
