Air Arms Alfa Project Maintenance?

[glam69]

My air cylinder developed a leak and the culprit was the o-ring seal within the cylinder itself. This seal is not normally supplied in any kit form advertised on a well known auction site. Also, it’s not shown on any schematic diagram. I removed the offending seal and matched it up to one I already had and now the cylinder is fine.

I’m still awaiting a replacement Hammer Button Assembly, these have been on back-order from Air Arms since October 2023. I’ve managed to get one made to use temporarily until such time that they become available. I’m tempted to buy the one currently advertised on a well known auction site at a slightly inflated price if Arm Arms don’t deliver soon. Apparently the Hammer Button Assembly can be a problem on this pistol. Full o-ring kits are readily available on the well known auction site and contain seals that cause leaks that are not shown on the AA schematic drawing of this pistol ie within the pressure vessel. If you require details then please get in touch.

I would still recommend this pistol.
