I have been emailing Sheila at AA and Travis at AGS and they both agree that I seem to have been sold a gun with a .22 cal probe rather than the correct .25 cal. New probe at no cost is enroute and we'll hope that corrects the problem. Quality folks to deal with given that this is already a 8...

In a perfect world either AA or the retailer will provide the correct part, assuming that is indeed the problem. Or they will ask to have the rifle sent back at my expense to have it checked and perhaps refitted. In the real world I'm assuming I'll potentially end up making a new probe. I have...

8. Years. I feel like a dolt but if you don't know it's wrong........... Maybe instead of thinking I'm an idiot, I'll tell myself I'm stubborn. Or determined. Sigh.

Thanks for the info. I've got emails into Air Arms and the retailer to see what they say. I know some pcp platforms are able to interchange barrels to obtain different calibres. Are Air Arms one of those?

Received my o-rings from Pyramid this morning. Measuring the breech rings it seems they are indeed 1.5mm cross section by 6mm ID. This is a size I have tried before and still had the problem. When measuring the pellet probe however it is 5.55 mm. The probe is supposed to form a seal with the...

Thanks. I have ordered from them once before for something else. The O-ring price is fine but the 47 USD shipping for an ounce of O-Rngs chokes me up.

I'll order the proper ones and a full oring kit once my credit card is replaced. Had to cancel it due to the Ticketmaster hack. PITA. Thanks

The envelope they came in says 1.5 by 6. I'm guessing this is a "There's your problem lady" moment for me.

So I have the gun back together. Other than a few not so tight screws, everything looked to be in good shape. No blemishes on the probe or the breech. The cocking lever wasn't loose on the end of probe so no issue there. Now I have to repressurize the cylinder. With a hand pump. I'll get back...

Cool. Never even thought of that. I've got a Carbon X1.

if I can get the gun working properly I'll try to find a single shot tray for it and quit dicking around with re-indexing the existing mag. Single shot works fine in my use case but I haven't found one for 25 cal yet.

I'm trying to think of a reason that would make a difference. Only thing is that maybe the pellets shift slightly in the magazine and then go in at a different angle, hooking the O-ring on insertion? Maybe?

I think I'm mostly doing it with the barrel pointed down actually. Also the mag advance on my gun is broken so I have to remove the mag, manually advance it, re-insert the mag and then finish cocking the gun. It's when I try to remove the mag after shooting that I realize the O-ring has left...

Yessir.

I have and it seems fine but I'll fully tear down the gun in the next little while and see if I can find the problem. Thanks.

Good idea, thanks again. I know there will be a lot of variability here, but how long would you normally expect an O-ring to last?

Thanks for the tip. The Captain doesn't list Air Arms as a manufacturer they support. Would all 25 cal breech seal orings be the same size?

I have an AirArms S510 .25cal I've owned for 8 years that I am having a difficult time keeping breech seals in. Sometimes they will last for hundreds of shots and next thing I know I am replacing it every 5 or 6 shots. I have been getting them from several different suppliers and that seems...
