Umarex CP88 Competition

[harrympope]

I've had this about a week and I'm finally getting used to the spongy trigger.
this is a magazine of 8 in single action offhand at about 20'. Best so far.

question-
has anyone here replaced seals on one of these? Umarex said over $100 to service and two airgun repair companies won't work on it.Ill need to dive into it myself when the time comes I guess?

collect what you think you need and wait for it to start leaking
cart seal i would get a few to have for no other reason than they will need replace the rest will last till they don't
i can't tell if the is a shiny black or matte black with oil on it
they started making them in 1996 and Umarex started putting there name on them in 2006 and the wood grips add 99 buck to the value

There are a number of YouTube videos on CP88 repair, none of which are in English. Here is one in German which I was able to follow visually:

Get the seals from Umarex.

Mine is from 2002 and still not leasing, so I wouldnt get too nervous about that.

Theres a good overview in pictures (its in german, but the pictures are.pretty.good and even showing the 2 Types of valves, that can be in your cp88 depending on the age): http://www.muzzle.de/N2/CO2/_Ventilkunde_/_ventilkunde_.html

the page will translate
very goods info and it also could cause you a problem because many times parts for old versions are not available and you have to update the complete valve or find in this case all the Orings

That looks like a classic forever gun. $100 to repair or whatever looks like a deal to me.

Thank you, this is a good call. I picked up a set of hard to find wood grips!!!
