Are they co2powered? Probably just need new orings, they dry out and leak air or fall off altogether

O-rings and teflon tape goes a long way... It's cheap, you may want to give it a try.

Default Do it yourself.

I busted my spring in my springer and by googling it (Google is your friend) I was able to replace the spring (Got it from a place in Ontario, Air Gun Source) and got it working. Then a friend said he had one that did not shoot anymore so I took it apart and started replacing seals, etc, and darned if it didn't chrony a 745 FPS when I was done with it. If you are going to throw them away then let the young one and you rebuild them. Great Father and Son thing and a great pasttime.

My friend who owns a car repair place gave me all the o rings I needed right out his big box. Put them in and they are better than factory.

Sign up here http://www.airgunforum.ca/forums/index.php

If you post pictures in the mods and repair forum you should get a lot of help as to what might be wrong and how to fix it.

There are several members who might also be able to repair them for you if you dont want to risk doing it yourself.

Go on cgn, under the airgun forum talk to leonardj. He's an airgun repair person.

Beware on the airgun forums for fraudulent airgun repair people.

Yea, leonardj is a really good guy. Helped me get parts for one of my air pistols a while back. Too bad he isnt on as many forums as he used to be due to people being people.
