Gaoler 83 Posted June 11, 2022 Report Share Posted June 11, 2022 Hi all, My FN19 has started leaking air at the breech end of rifle, probably the cylinder or valve seal. I think it needs a good service. I'm up in Yorkshire for a few months, are there any good gunsmiths anyone can recommend around the Doncaster area? Cheers... Quote Link to post
Gaoler 83 Posted June 12, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2022 I think it’s leaking at the valve/housing were the air cylinder meets it…probably the o-ring. Do you think it will be hard to change myself?? Quote Link to post
Dervburner 2,549 Posted June 13, 2022 Report Share Posted June 13, 2022 Sure you can change the seals yourself, but first check that the trigger housing isn’t cracked before looking at seals, they are prone to cracks and can leak through the crack. Quote Link to post
Gaoler 83 Posted June 20, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2022 Got the old girl repaired, full strip down, serviced, shoots lovely in the sweet spot! Tried it with the H&Ns FTT in a 5.53 head size, groups lovely, I was surprised. 1 Quote Link to post
