For anyone with faulty O-rings on their FAS604

Only just seen your replies John - many thanks.

I took the pistol apart tonight and the piston head o-ring is completely trashed (comforting that it was so obvious!) - more on this post:

I'd already ordered a seal kit when I saw your post (had a feeling that the o-rings would be standard parts, but the kit was only £16 from BAR, so not too bad). As you say, I'll sort out some spares from an engineering supplier to keep for the future!

thanks again

Interesting. BAR = £16 v's Surrey Guns = £39. Similar story for other items too as I see they advertise the airgunners favourite chrono - the Combro Mk4 at £79. Don't imagine they sell too many of these items

I know they're a specialist shop, with access to every Gehmann item under the sun, but that's a tad steep in anyone's language.

Just shows how important it is to shop around.

Thanks for info on BAR. Yet another FAS604 came into the club this week and needs new seals. I changed the piston and breech seals which improved matters, but it wont hold the charge for long, so I guess the smaller O-rings on the exhaust v/v also need replacing

FAS606
Does anyone out there own a FAS 606
I have seen articles on this good looking single stroke pneumatic but never seen one in the metal

No worries
As I'm sure you know, but for the benefit of others who may read this, once you've got the gun apart, replacing the valve o-rings isn't a hard job - three o-rings - one requires dissassembly of the valve. However try not to completely remove the tiny roll pin which holds the valve assembly together (leave it located in one side of the valve head). I did knock it out completely and it looks like it's going to be a bu**er to replace

I've never seen one, although Mr Clevely of Checkmate Guns (FAS guru by all accounts and very helpful on the phone), did mention that while he thought the 604 a lovely gun, he considered the 606 to be a "disaster" ....

I'd like to join the competition if I may.

With as FAS604 (on loan so I hope I manage to hold onto it for the duration)

It is my first competition, being new to air pistolling, so I'll have to see how I get on.

43 - 39 - 40 - 47 - total 169.

I hope to enter some scores with an HW10 and a Baikal in the next couple of days.
