Benamin EB22 Crosman E9a

[Rayee]

I have a Crosman E9A which is identical to a Benjamin Sheridan EB22. The gas cylinder puncture pin doesn't seem to be there, no puncturing, or indeed denting goes on.
I can't find any info on Youtube or Google, on how to get at the component. I'm a tad loathe to start undoing screws willy, and indeed, nilly, if there is a more direct approach.

Any tips?

None at the moment (which doesn't help you), but the spares kit appears on that internet auction site from time to time.

Are you sure you are doing it right Rayee.
Im saying that cos these dont have a pin in the cap.
You load the co2 thin end first screw in cap cock and fire which pierces it.
If you are doing this sorry.
Search under Crosman E9A should send you straight to the Crosman Stripdown.
It did for me anyway.

Cheers Gingernut, but yes, I've been operating it like the Crosman Rat buster.
In fact I suspect that someone in the past reversed the bulb and tightened up, crushing the pin into the base of the bulb! The buggers.

Only said that because Ive seen it done and done it myself! Not damaged anything tho.
T R Robb can often get Crosman bits if you can see what you need .

As Gingernut says the exhaust/power valve has a sharply pointed front end which pierces the bulb. It does sound as though this is bent/broken. I would imagine the .177 and .22 versions will use the same valve.

Thanks all, I think I may have the spare part already, hopefully it will fit!

Good!

By the way, how do you like the pistol?

Well, I've had one before, and I'm pleased to ave one again! Once I've taken the plunge to get to the bits!
Not sure if I like the push and twist of the pellet probe - seems a bit vague.
