Store Co2 rifle empty or full?

[Top Gun FX2000]

Do not leave a 78 ungassed, your seals will dry out. The capsule are pierced at both ends of the tube and the gas is held in the tube. This keeps the seals from going hard. There is no seal where the seal butts up to in a 78. Whereas Crosmans are fed gas direct from the capsule one shot at a time, so a totally different method of gas release.
Take a look on UKCAF, we tend to know what we are talking about with reference to Chinese airguns.

Neil,

I store my Tau7 pistol gassed - it will do ca. seventy (70) shots per 12g CO₂ caplet, and I don't usually shoot more than twenty (20) shots a week.

So, the pistol sits for up to a month or more gassed, and I have found no problems whatsoever doing this.

I do put a drop of Pellgun oil on the seal of the caplet, and I do wipe a thin film of Pellgun oil on the caplet body.

Have fun & a good Sunday

Best regards

I keep air in my King Rat and gas in my 2240, never had sealing issues...

If a gun has a cylinder to contain the co2 I leave some gas in.
If it doesn't e.g. Umarex I empty it.

Having said that all co2 guns leak eventually and the above is not always successful.

But the manual for the SMK says leave it gassed as I recall.

Neil,

I have just shot my Tau7 after some five (5) weeks of non-use.

Functioned perfectly, and velocity spot on

Have fun & a good Sunday

Best regards
