How long should an HW break barrel breech seal last

[junglie]

I did wonder that, but the breech only gets an occasional wipe with Parker-Hale Express Gun Oil.

Tony, 27 years that's amazing The broken seals in the pic did look OK and worked I only decided to change them because the fps was inconsistent, I wonder if you tried to remove your old ones they would crumble, I have now fitted a new standard seal and the fps are consistent, but I'm thinking of getting a heavy-duty seal from somewhere if they are easy to get, I have had almost indestructible Diana breech seals from Terry Robb but not HW.

I only use silicone oil to wipe them over prior to fitting & they last well over 15 years still soft when i change them.

I have found two heavy duty breech seals for sale and have sent off for one of them and I won't be putting much lube on it this time


Out of stock so going to stick with factory seal.

I recently bought a pair from "the bay", fitted one to a 35, after 5 days just sitting in the cupboard I went to use the rifle only to find the seal had split completely! Not impressed at all. I've messaged the vendor and will see what, if anything, they say.

Also, some of these after market jobbies prevent the barrel from closing properly. I'd stick to oem personally. Regards Max

I just heard from the vendor, he is posting me 2x replacement seals, and is giving 12 months warranty too.
