Figured I'd go straight to the source. Called Crosman this AM and they said no way should it be like that - send it back.
with the mag in place and empty , loosen the set screws on the barrel.. shift the barrel back as far as it will go without compressing the mag.. This should bring the probe in contact with the internal 009 oring .unless its a different leak im unaware of , like the transfer port.
true….without shooting it, hard to judge how much of a puff. Would be surprised if there isn’t at least a little air movement from just the striker acting like a vented piston.“Just” airguns, but I still wear glasses when shooting (prescription or safety). Not so much for what does happen, but for what can happen.

Someone isn't getting the barrels snug, if the o-ring is still there.
