Thanks for the forum and all who post good info. and tips!
My Fx Boss 30 cal. had a leak and I could repair it! Now please don’t laugh about me, I’m not an expert servicing PCPs so this is a big achievement for me...
The leak was not obvious. It was a slow leak, about 5 BAR per day. Finally I found it was leaking through the vent hole of the regulator. Opened it, replaced the external orings of the regulator, which looked damaged (luckily had an oring kit!), assembled and filled with air. After 1 day it seemed keeping air. Then went to the chrony, numbers were good. Filled again and waited a week. It kept all air. Tested, it works as it should. Very happy.
Perhaps in these times the newer airgunners don’t know or don’t remember that it was a big HIT when the Boss first came out some 10 years ago. A 80 fpe gun, giving more than 40 regulated shots per fill, good trigger, flawless multi-shot, with a very decent noise suppression right from the factory. This was something not seen before. I bought mine new in 2013 and loved it, at 25 yards it stacks pellets all day.
So the Boss is back and ready for rock & roll!
