Benjamin 422 Semi-Auto Co2 Pistol

[Flatrajectory]

Hi Patrick,
From memory the super rocket has a soldered in valve unit ( same as my Benjy 352 ), and was a beggar for a slow leak.
The problem was a worn valve seat.....that is the brass seat that the polyurethane valve seal sits upon ...and because the valve body is soldered into the tube it was all but impossible to fix. In the end I de soldered it and fitted a modified qb 78 valve unit which cured the problem. Ask Baz to take a good look at the valve seat if he can see down the tube that far.

Pete.

Thanks Pete I will pass it on.
Lawrie couldn't get at it and has one of his own with the same problem.
Baz will have a go.
Consoled myself with a Crosman 150 Medalist.
Much better pistol and shiny!
No pretty box tho!
Regards

Now fixed by friend Baz.

Long thin pliers Pete.
However the little Devil has unfixed itself again.
There is a seal deep inside that is very difficult to get at and seat.
As you know!
