    If your Eli only uses orings, am sure you can find out the correct sizes that you need. Or contact Chris whistler. He used to run impact airguns

    Thank you Growler I haven't checked yet as I was wanting to get some advice 1st. And I guess there is no way of knowing until its stripped.

    Is the gas ram pumped to correct pressure ?

    Hi Baz I didn't even know there was a gas ram, I thought it was basically the same as an older Weihrauch I had that just worked through spring etc .

    does it still have a firm cocking force ?
    And does it recoil when fired ?

    If so, but the pellet doesn't leave, the piston head / o-rings have failed, buit the ram is fine... or the barrel is jammed up, but I;m discounting that !

    Thank for your reply, real strong cooking pressure, and a lot of recoil, so hopefully it is as you say, and hopefully I can get the right size O rings for it. Just have to attempt to strip it down now.
    Thanks

    depressurise the ram.. remove stock, removing valve cover screw in rear, small punch and very gentle taps on the valve stem with a hammer to get the air to bleed out in small, sharp blasts. Lots of small taps is the way to go...

    thank you so much for your help and advice. Once I do that how do I go about re pressurising it when I change the O rings and put it back together again ?

    Thanks again David Snr

    you'll need a pump with an adapter, but there's really no choice from where you are now... or many gunshops can do it..
