    i do but i sell co2 seals for both guns
    you'll find that guns that presurise the tube have no issues with a cart left in but with gun that use a face seal it can indent it causing premature failure

    guns with a face seal have the cart pressed against a seal and the gas is contained by the seal

    The face seal is reasonably obvious as you can generally see it when you insert the CO2 bulb. It is a synthetic seal that the face of the bulb butts up against with the piercing pin through the centre of it.

    The likes of the Umarex made Walther CP88 and S&W Model 29 amongst other feature this type of face seal, whereas the likes of the drulov DU10, Tau 7 and Lov21 pistols use the pressurised tube type seal.

    People who have been there focus on the fundamentals. People who sit at keyboards all day focus on the trivial and inane.

    You'll be fine leaving the capsule in for a couple of days or so. Just don't leave it for prolonged periods

    most modern co2 guns use a face seal
    older ones like the crosman 150 160 400 600 and the xs78 xt501 also have a pressurised tube

    I always keep the bulbs in my Tau 7s. Never had any issues. Had 1 piercer cap fail in 15 years.
    They loose pressure over time anyway. Within few months, they empty anyway.
    Replace bulb with tad of oil on it, and its ready to go again.
    But Tau is other priceclass than Crosman

    Just had a 2240 seal go, would like a replacement from you plus how to fit it, I am OK with Webleys but get confused with the gas plinkers.

    Can you PM me with details etc please.
