N/A I got a New Hatsan at44 177 qe long for $138.00

We try to wait until the third day to start being snarky a-holes ;-)

The people here is why this forum has grown so much in its relatively short time on the net and currently is THE place for airgun discussion.

Well after reading some posts I determined that my gun was built in October 2021 then shipped to the US where it sat for 3years, and I also found I should check the two seals on the barrel that sit on each side of the air port and sure enough they were in horrible condition. There's no way this gun would have worked properly had I not found this. The problem seems to be that where the barrel goes into the receiver is sharp and has sliced the edges of the seals. So now I have to try and see if that is the only seals with issues or have the others developed dryrot. Anybody familiar with how many seals there are for the at44 long.177 I'm familiar with the breech seal and looking at it without taking the cap off the barrel to inspect just looking in the barrel at it and it seems intact.

Any help and guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Think airgunners are a generally good lot, some are cringe-worthy with responses but most choose kindness. WM

As far as i know, the barrel breech ones you've seen, and there are two on either side of the exhaust port on the valve, one large one where the gastube screws into the gun, one large one inside the tube on the valve assembly threads, one on the inside of the fill tube on the threads of the fill tube assembly, the tiny ones on the fill port check valve, and one large one underneath the pressure gauge ( depending on which pressure gauge version it is)

Hmmm ok thanks. I guess I have a seal kit to search and purchase.
