Advice/help requested

Hi all
I brought a 2nd hand smk xs 78 air rifle for my 11 year old grand son on sunday at the Melbourne Assembly rooms for £140 when we got my grandson tried shooting it
he got 4 shots using 2 co2 cylinders no matter how hard I screw it on it still leaked
I live between Derby Nottingham.
when I looked on u tube for help, the slot where the cylinder is inserted was not the
the original one this gun looks like it has been replaced with a different type of valve
so any help or advise on this matter please, or is there a airgun smith in the area you can recommend.
Thank you

I'd have a look at the ChineseAirgunForum. Could be the model shown on youtube is a slightly different one. Just had a quick look, they had a quick strip guide to the valve assy without taking the whole gun apart.
You should get 40-50 shots.

It sound faulty. I'd take it back and ask for your money back.

Then check out the second hand section on here

I have sorted this rifle for Tony.
Leak on the firing valve. Turns out it's an XS79 with a very nice Japanese 4x40 scope on it.
I hope his Grandson has fun with it.
