I have a Bantam Sniper HR .22, and it will leak down once in a while, but not nearly all the time. Just unexpectedly when it's set for a while it will leak down. Then it may go many weeks no problem. The other day, when I fired it the first shot, I heard a short puff of air leak out, I'm assuming down the barrel, for maybe a half second, then stopped and I went on shooting no problem. Hasn't done it again, and holding air fine. Any ideas?
My thought is maybe something in the firing valve, that doesn't always seal, and let's it leak down once in a while, and then seals up fine when the debri is out of the way???? Just a thought. I haven't had time to tear it down yet.
