    Pro Target Advice - Seal Kit

    Hi Guys...

    After a bit of advice... A mate of mine requires a seal kit for his Air Arms Pro Target. I can't seem to get a seal kit from Blackpool Airguns - they said because the gun is discontinued, they don't do seal kits for it anymore (found this a bit strange that service seal kits aren't available for a gun that is still in use by thousands of shooters)...

    Can anyone suggest a memeber on here that I could order a seal kit from for this gun? If not, does anyone know if the seal kit for the EV2 is the same??

    Thanks...

    Colin

    "Seal kit" is just a pile of O-rings.

    If your mate is willing to service his gun himself (no biggie) he can take it apart, measure the o-rings, and buy them individually almost certainly for far less than any "kit" will cost.

    The ones I had some difficulty in sourcing - but not in the UK - were the x1 (1mm) thick ones that lie behind the brass exhaust valve seat. Simply because no one local to me stocked x1 o-rings. In the end I paid a bit more for these by buying an RC car engine service kit. But I'm sure that in the UK you can source these no prob.

    Thanks for the advice guys... Looking into the options - the gun isn't mine... It's a mates and we need an o ring seal kit prior to it being taken apart - the service is being carried out by another friend, who will need to have all the o rings at hand to carry out the work.

    Cheers

    Would it not be worth contacting air arms direct http://www.air-arms.co.uk/ to see if they would provide you with a service kit, a word of caution though I believe that a special tool is required to enable the regulator to be taken apart.

    Hi Dave...

    Airarms have been contacted by email and they state that they no longer hold a service kit or carry out any servicing directly to the pro target. Its made me think that i will never buy another AA gun again if they do not support servicing directly or even supply service kits on a gun that is still used by thousands of shooters... very disappointed! I believe there are still third parties that service these guns, but like i said in one of my previous posts, the gun is going to be serviced by a friend, who is also a retired gunsmith, so if its going to be serviced by any third party, it would be him, rather than a stranger!
    Obviously if AA had still carried out servicing themselves, then that would have been an option.
    So we are only looking for a complete O-ring Service Kit for the Pro-Target - All the other advice is fully understood and appreciated, but we are ok for the servicing part - just the kit required...

    Thanks again for all the advice!!

    Cheers

    Colin
