Only just got back to looking at forum, but this one caught my eye, as I had a little thought about 'Sport' breech seal sizes. Here's what I have in my 'Bible'.
FWB issue = I/D 10.00 X 3.00 as normal; however this doesn't fit all guns; some breech grooves are O/D 15.70 X I/D 10.90 = 2.40 sec'n. with a groove depth of 2.30: a 'Std' 111 O ring will fit [10.78 I/D X 2.60 sec'n.] -- works OK. It's a tight fit and has projection above face. Also a metric 10.80 X 2.60 will work.

This is excellent information, thank you. Somehow I very much doubt if FWB had O rings made in a special size so the larger than normal ones must be a standard issue. A preliminary look tells me that a near equivalent is a German metric size 011-25 which has an 11mm id and cross section of 2.5mm ... so 16mm od. I have never seen one but wonder if it would fit? It is good news that a standard Bs111 will fit though. It is possible that a further search could reveal a closer match to your measurements.
Isn't engineering wonderful?
Cheers, Phil
I measured mine at 11mm x 2.5mm c/s and bought "O" rings of that size which were a loose fit. I am waiting for some 10mm x 3mm c/s and I'm thinking these will fit but the STD 111 looks like it may be worth a punt.
Thanks.
Maybe I should have said: when I refurbed a 127 last year, I bought a new piston seal, spring and breech seal from Chambers. The breech seal supplied by Chambers was a 10 x 3.
Cheers, Phil
The BS 111 "O" rings arrived today and I have fitted one. The gun was as quiet as it was with the 10mm x 3mm one and the fit was obviously not quite as tight so I thought all was good until I put it through the chrono and the mv was down by 50fps. So for my gun the perfect seal is the 10mm x 3mm c/s.
I have just had a look at the auction site and a seller on there is advertising them in 2 sizes, 1 for guns with serial numbers below 5,000 and the other for higher serial numbers.
If I'm correct in my assumations the earlier ones will be BS111 (10.77mm x 2.6mm c/s) and the later ones will be 10mm x 3mm c/s.
If anyone has a pre 5,000 serial number Sport I have quite a few of these seals available.
