Not a springer expert but literally every couple of years doesn't sound rightOriginally Posted by Barryg
It seems that every few years I have to change the breech seal on my 80 because it loses fps and when I change them, they crumble is that normal?

That's what I thought, the seals look OK until you start to remove them.

10 years min to crumble, probably more. They don't even harden for like 5 years. maybe it was left in the sun ?
Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.

Looks like the one I took out of my 97, like old cheese it was.
Replaced it with a Br1t Seal, did the piston seal too & saw a 2 ft/lb improvement. I wouldn't bother replacing seals with standard ones, after market ones are better.
Why is the common abbreviation for British not allowed ?

Just lay a sheet of bog paper over the breech. If it moves attend to the reason.

Well, in my experience the genuine HW ones last a very long time......
One of my 95s.....bought new in 1995. Fitted V-Mach kit in 2014. It was still shooting brilliantly, and very consistently two years ago. So, breech seal about 27 years old!
Conversely, in 2019, a "supposedly genuine HW" one in a 35 lasted two months!
P.S...the 95.....although the seal looked flattened and to be well past its best, it was still quite pliable and, as said, still performed very well.

What lubricant do you use?
Could it be deteriorated by lubricant?
