The crosman rep on the phone would disagree with you
What would you do?
- Thread starter Hold_Over
- Start date
50+ rifles and have yet to use a warranty. Just easier to save all the hassles, do it myself if there was an issue and know what's actually inside and not whatever the company claims they did to it.
Crosman Optimus was my first teardown and tweak and their parts are cheap and easy to get anyway.

I learned very early on in my airgun endeavors that even sending a gun in for warranty work, more times than not the problems are not resolved. Some made even worse. In buying a new airgun you figure out quick if you have a lemon and return it and move on. I haven't purchased new in a long time though and i think manufacturing is only getting worse. I tell anyone that asks about airguns to learn to service them yourselves so you know what you're getting, good luck.

My sincerest apologies. I didn’t realize the springers were changed from 1 to 5. I haven’t dealt with the springer side of Crosman for a couple years.

No worries, I can see where the confusion comes from on this. The box it came in still says 1 year, but the rep, the dealers website, and the crosman website agree on 5.

FWIW, New HW95 piston seal damaged by dieseling caused a reduced FPS and accuracy problems.

It just so happens that I have a similar conundrum.
Fortunately the warentee work can include the repair, having them install a Vortec kit, degrease the original lube, clean it up, and do some trigger work, while maintaining the warentee.

Hmmm , the guns i mostly buy now would have to have a 30 or 40 year warrantee to be useful .

I am going to call them today. And see if I can strike a deal. I would rather do the work myself. If they will supply a new seal (which they said they would already) and new gas ram in case the one I have has been comprimised by the bad seal allowing it to slam forward with less than ideal resistance I will be happy. Even if it means I void the warranty.

This made Me curious so, I went and looked at My "Shockwave" Box. Shownuff, it says 5 years. I never paid attn before.

New seal and gas ram coming my way free of charge. My first time using a warranty for an airgun I will call a success and then void the warranty doing the work myself.

I suggest that after you do a thorough cleaning that you relube with GPL-205 Krytox.

Tough to judge real sound from a recording through my phone speaker. Have you tried the Decibel-x app for your phone so you can get Db readings?
