Air Gun Gate / Re: What the heck is going on with my Diana?« Last post by mikeyb on Today at 02:57:49 PM »... am investigating my breech seal fitment which seems flush. I've read it should stick out and the rifle shoots high with a scope. I've also read there should be metal to metal contact. Seems contradictory. Not really contradictory. An o-ring breech seal should stand a little proud of the machined breech face. Opinions vary but IMO seal should be 0.010"-0.015" above flush. When the breech is closed the o-ring is squashed until there is a metal-to-metal contact on the breech surfaces. This is a SOLID repeatable position and will provide minimal to zero air leakage (properly squashed/loaded o-ring) and optimum shot consistency. If the o-ring is flush or below flush the breech position is still metal-to-metal solid but there is air leakage. Barrel position will be consistent but velocity will NOT be consistent and accuracy will suffer. If the o-ring (or ANY type of breech seal) is too proud then the lockup position will depend only on the squash of the o-ring. That will VARY over time and barrel position will wander. Air leakage may be zero but the variable barrel position can cause vertical stringing (poor shot consistency) depending on how you close the barrel. Been there & done that with too fat o-rings that caused more problems than they solved. If your rifle is shooting high a fat o-ring may seem to solve the problem of barrel rise (opposite of barrel droop). It can for a short time but it won't last. I was still learning about springers when I posted this... www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/R3LBM8105Z0SAF Basically a clone of your rifle in a different stock. 2
