Umarex makarov loosing air

[markmark.123]

My pistol is loosing air I have took it a part and I think it is coming from where the co2 bulb goes in there is no oring in it is there sopost to be is there anywhere else it could be coming from

The bulbs are just cheap ones off the bay I don't no if that makes a difference

Hope someone can help

i had this with a co2 once....i just lubed the seal where the co2 bulb presses onto and that helped.

If you mean losing gas. Ther should be a clear neoprene sealing washer around the piercing pin where the neck of the bulb sits. This is the most likely cause. Replace it first.

I have rescued many a co2 pistol by putting a couple of drops of siliconeoil on the seal.

O.K. , It looks as if you mean the co2 is leaking from the valve unit, so it is not clear wether it is from the front or rear. Either way you have either got dirt ingress on the valve seals or a damaged/worn valve seal.
REMEDY .. strip, clean/ lube with silicone oil. OR strip/clean/ replace all seals. I reccommend the latter course of action. but try the former first and if it doesn`t work then replace the seals.

If it's just dirty/dry seals you can sometimes solve the problem with a few drops of Pellgunoil on the tip of each new CO2 cylinder for a while.
Don't use silicone, the blowback guns have metal to metal contact in the gas path and silicone oil is less than useless for such applications,

Noticed this the other day concerning certain 12g CO2 bulbs and the Umarex Makarov

It is true that they dont like Crosman capsules.
I use Umarex in mine for that reason.
