FX Crown leak

[jking]

Glad you got it out and back in. The Crown isn't as bad as the Impact since the Impact's regulator bore is conveniently angled where you can't really see down in it much less do brain surgery on it.

I have a gen 1 crown that has started leaking too. I’m unable to tell where its coming from. Doe’s anybody have experience with this?
Where can I get a reseal kit/ o-ring kit for the gen 1 crown?

Take that O-ring list that was so generously posted and place an order to the O-Rings And More store. Super cheap and you'll have a ton of spares.

When I designed it I made it so the large end of the taper went over the adjustment screw head but came to a stop so when the o ring slid over it would land on that smooth section between the two o ring grooves.

I slide the first one to the lower groove and the second o ring up to the upper groove.

This tool will also work on the end of the impact valve rod where that one o ring goes on on the valve end.

I very much liked your design, so I made a copy today in stainless steel

What was your remedy?
Did it go completly empty, on both guages?

It was leaking from the bottle where the valve screws in. I had to romove the valve, clean the area and replace the oring.

Theres an allen screw with a pin in the center, holding the hammer tension knob, that was apparently put their by the previuoe owner. None of my tools fit it, so I cant even get the stock off of it.

That is a tamper proof screw. Harbor Freight or most hardware stores will have the right tools.

The previous owner probably didn’t know how to order the correct type of fasteners, and the first Allen head type screw he saw he bought it, not knowing that Allen socket screws can be bought with that security feature.

Or maybe he made it so the new owner doesn’t find any of his doings under the stock! Let’s hope not

I have some of those in my driver kit, but none fit this one. Ill have to buy one.that fits it.
Maybe the last gunsmith who worked on it put that their to keep the customer out?

I have snapped the center pin off those screws before, but would suggest the proper bit.

Bigragu and Steve thanks for your advice, I never would have found that oring. Used tick tweezers to get it back in very carefully. As far as selling my airguns I need something to keep me busy in retirement, although I think I lost a few hairs today

Congratulations glad you got it fixed.
