O-RING??

[millsy44 72]

Just taken the buddy bottle off my s10, done exactly the same as i normally do (give it one full turn, then dry fire untill i hear the power drop, if it doesnt i give it another quarter turn and dry fire again) This time i did the same as usual, but the bottle started leaking air when nearly fully loosened, the bottle is now off the gun and is very very slowing leaking air, whats gone wrong lads??

Same thing happened to my r10 bottle[when i used to think i had to remove it to get the stock off]Contacted tench on the BSAOG.He said the valve was probably away.Somtimes you can re-seat it by tapping it in with somthing the same width.I tryed the smooth end of a drill bit,no joy.Sent it off to tench,and he replaced the valve.

Sounds like you had a almost empty bottle and when you undid it you loosened the valve to bottle seal. Just let it empty, and when it is, check the o ring, and if it is ok (it may be deformed a little) tighten the valve again and it will be fine.

 

it does not sound like a disaster

Is the O ring the white plastic ring on the bottle neck?? Might sound obvious but ive never had a buddy bottle pcp before, it doesnt leak when the bottle is back on the rifle, at least i cant here it, it shouldnt be near empty, i got it charged to 200 bar and have only put about 80/100 shots through it, its a .22 carbine mk2, when i put the bottle back on the rifle and fire it, it still sounds full power, but as soon as i take the bottle back off it leaks fast, then after 20/30 seconds its slows to a bearly hearable hiss.

hi buddy

im not to sure on the buddy bottle,but the Oring is black rubber.

i use to have the same thing with my HW100,when i removed the cylinder you would here the air release,but this is normal

 

i am assuming its just releasing air till the vale kicks in,and stops it exhausting the rest of the air

 

if its working fine on the rifle, then crack on buddy

It seems ok on the gun, but when off the gun the bottle empties, very slowly and doesnt stop. My concern of leaving it the rifle is that it will just keep pushing air into the gun until something pops??? or would it stop once the reservoir was full enough to give me a full power shot, imagine putting a balloon over the top of a leaking bottle, it would just keep inflating the balloon, im scared the same thing happens inside the rifle,
