Markxman,
Forever and ever! Don't worry about it!How long would it be safe to leave a co2 cartridge in a crossman 2250 before it compessed the seal beyond use

Mmmmmmmm.... two differing opinions and each one totally the opposite to the other, I think I will err on the side of caution for the moment and go with what the crossman boys reccomend. Thank y'all.
M@rk..
I always empty the cylinder and remove it from the pistol after a session. I have not had a seal problem yet but it is better safe than sorry.
Cheers, Phil
Do NOT leave the CO2 Capsule in it when not in use.
Simple enough?
Why would you want to do so, apart from saving a few pence on gas...of course you soon have to shell out for new seals thanks to your 'cunning money saving scheme'.

Look Left>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>I flipping said left!
Can anyone advise how long I should/can leave the Co2 in my QB78? I didnt realise I had to empty it after shooting etc, thats gonna get pretty expensive as I like to take a few pot shots here and then at the start or end of my day in my garden at a pellet trap..
How long for a ratty then...This is a new one on me,no one says ever how long you sould leave the cylinder in.Hows the King ratty ,the one with the big cylinder as a butt get on with this,same sort of seals.If this is so,then why dont crossman let you know about it,just a thought or am I getting the wronge end of the stick,am very intrested,cheers....Andy
Yes, i thought that too.
And what if you are using paint ball bottles (E.g. like Steve D 19/01/06)

I do this too but I was wondering if the sudden venting of FREEZING cold gas (bbbbrrrrr ) would do anything bad to the gun?Originally Posted by Phil Russell
One point of note though, it's illegal to transport a charged CO2 gun, or so someone on here was saying a while ago. My slightly modded ratty leaks, so mine only last an hour anyway.

Does anyone on here know where in the u.k I can get the large containers of c02 the ones that all the Americans and the likes of Crooked barn boys have on their guns also does any one in the u.k sell all the gadgets and gizmo's like Crooked barn ???
Hi MarkxmanOriginally Posted by Markxman
If you do a google search for T R Robb it brings up his shop and he does a few of the things like Crooked Barns stuff.
I bought a couple of things from him:
1. Metal breach set ( Great except that the grub screw holding the barrel was a bit long and so was in the way of mounting my scope mounts. A quick file-down of the end of the grub screw fixed it.
2. Silencer adapter ( Great except that when I got it it was such a tight fit with the silencer I thought one was faulty. After forcing the silencer to screw in once, which took a lot of effort, it now works a treat)
So providing you are okay to tinker a tiny bit its an okay place to get bits for your Crosman rifles.

its ilegal to transport a gun with a pellet in the breach .
all pcp guns are charged all the time , so no different for leaving a co2 cylinder in ,
and it's best with a QB rifle to leave a cylinder in the gun , but run it out enough so that the pellet drops way down from zero so the gas pressure is very low , that way it will keep the seals a close fit against the seat , but not so much pressure as to compress it ,mine has been this way for about a year now , and all is well ,just remember to dry fire untill empty when you want to put a new cylinder in ,,
It appears to be not cobblers, geezer, as stated here: http://www.airgunbbs.com/showthread.php?t=75600
Something to do with the fact that they used to be on ticket. I'm thinking of having an airsource XS/QB79, and it'll be a bugger if I have to discharge it every time I want to take it shooting.

Regarding removing the cylinder ... I only use the small ones in pistols. I always use them to almost empty by firing pelets into my pellet trap .. after target use I put a few more interesting targets up ... old plastic party whizz things are fine. Then when the point comes when it is best to remove cyclinder or risk a stuck pellet (after 60 shots with a S7W, more with a CP88) I now try to vent through the valve system by pushing the hammer to release the valve. I used to simply release the gas cyclinder retaining mechanism and let the gas escape through the butt, but I was advised (via this forum???) to use the hammer method as it causes less harm to the cyclinder seals.
