Air Venturi Air Venturi Avenger Seal kits not available, backordered from Air Venturi for months, alternatives sought...

[S97]

Question for all of you. Is there another source for a compatible seal kit for an Avenger besides Air Venturi?

I have an Avenger in .25. It started a leak near the fill probe and would not fill or hold air. I am not mechanical so I took it to my local air gun shop (alamo air guns, great folks btw) back in March for inspection and repair. Inspection revealed that it needed new seals. Unfortunately seals from Air Venturi are back ordered. It's now AUGUST and they still haven't fulfilled seal orders. So, I have a useless rifle because my dealer can't get parts.

any ideas where I can source a compatible seal kit?

Thank You,

Caption Oring has them listed on ebay

I just went through the same thing. I was waiting for a Regulator, and the Gal told Me about the seal kit that comes with one. Neither were in stock. So I ordered the Kit. 3 weeks later, I called and the Regs had arrived so I bout the Reg. Like you say, the Kits never came in so I cancelled the order. As Shaky mentioned, try Captain O Ring.

Super frustrating. I'll check those guys out. Should have saved up and bought FX.

Buy an Avenge X and keep on shooting. They come with extra complete seal kits.

I never saw or heard about those rifles until yesterday.
A young guy I was shooting FT with had one.
Pretty impressive little rifle.
I was going to ask him about replacement parts availability but I never got around to it.
Thus post has answer my questions..

True. When the Maker of the Gun cannot sell you the parts necessary to keep it going, it's hard to keep faith in the product. Another Avenger is not high on My list.

Captain oring for sure has them. To me this a kind of a ding on your local shop for not being able to source this kit sooner. Not very good customer service in my opinion. I would have been on google as soon as I found out they weren’t available from AV. Captain oring pops right up.

your local shop should be able to diagnose problem,disassemble and replace culprit o-rings. All the sizes for the gun are readily available.
My avenger is gone as well as my notes and diagrams/sizes that I kept for it.

Some one around here will have a list of all the sizes if that will help your shop out with info and or parts.

Shops will sell you the Gun, but most carry no parts. I searched quite a bit.
