Losing co2

[Papa1724]

Hello I have a sig saucer pellet gun
Everytime I try to insert a Co2 cartridge I lose all the pressure. Tried to put a small rubber washer but keep losing all the pressure. Anybody have any other fixes for this problem??

Tks

so, i assume it is a pistol but which one i have no idea
most of the pistols would have a face seal for the cartridge
the old one would have to be completely removed the area clean before the now correct seal is installed
now if it has one of those cheap nuts that hold the seal in place it would have had to be removed first so the screen and piecing pin and seal would be tight against the valve body .
but seeing that i don't know the model i have to guess

Hello thank you for your quick reply. The model of the sig is P226. Does that help as I never saw a seal where the cartridge sits on the piercing pin.

is it one with the lever to pierce and close the co2?

i have the sig M17 and you have to close the lever semi quickly or the co2 will leak out.

as youre closing it,
soon as you feel the lever getting tight,
slap it fully shut in one motion.

Papa1724, it sounds like you were on the right track. Most likely the seal around the piercing pin is missing. If you can’t get your hands on an OEM replacement, you may want to try an O-ring assortment from Harbor Freight or Amazon to see if you can find one that is a good fit.

i use the green pack of O rings from Harbor F. i think their for refrigeration.
