Well....
Put the first pellet in my FAS 604 yesterday (not even zeroed yet), lined up on a 6yd target, straight through the 10 ring. Woo hoo thinks I - I'm going to enjoy this
Cock it for the second shot, pffht - burst an internal seal somewhere - no compression. Oh poo thinks I, got to work out how to take the flippin' thing apart now and fit a seal kit
Ah, the joys of old (ish) air pistols....

I bought my Fas very cheap because the seals had gone
I made the mistake of ordering a set of seals from Surrey Guns. He charged me £39
When thy arrived, I went to my local plumbers and bought a matching set which i keep as spares(they cost about £3)
Only 1 of the Fas seals needs to be hard wearing and that is the one on the moving piston that takes all the wear
As an experiment, I just used an ordinary O ring (from a plumbing shop)for this purpose and it still works 2 years later. So don't rush into spending £39 for a set of O rings
Screwfix will sell you a box of 500 for £14 in a full range of sizes
If you want me to e-mail you the parts diagram for the 604 let me know, as some of the O rings are duplicated in the pistol.
