Title: BAM 40 Breech seal
Post by: BERNIEHUMBER on January 16, 2019, 12:42:07 PM

HI:Does anyone know where I could purchase a upscale breech seal for a BAM 40?
I know that a dealer has some for a B57 which I am told is the same but I live in Canada and that doesn't work for him(billing issues).
I am thinking that there has to be a side/under lever out there that has similar (if not the same)dimensions.
Thanks

I ordered replacement seals for my B40 by looking at QB78 parts list within Steve_Archer's web site.  Do a search for "Breech Seals" and locate the 'SHANGHAI AIRGUNS BREECH SEAL KIT'.  These were a direct replacement for the original seal I removed from my B40 rifle.

Hope this helps!

Hi rdtricks:
Thanks for the get back.Steve_Archer is the dealer that can't do billing with an Canada address.
I would gladly buy off of him but its not on his books to deal with Canada(or any place out of the US).
No I have looked on ebay as I do a lot of PayPal so it surprises me that I can't get seal off of him.
The Bam 40 is a good springer and as accurate as I have ability.
Its not a PCP but...

Here's the kit on eBay that has the seals for the B40. It says ships to USA but you can contact the seller and ask if he will ship to you.

I was able to locate some additional Q78 Breech Seals on ebay: use the search function for - QB78, QB79, XS78, TH78 Custom Breech Gasket o-ring seals.  The picture looks a bit different than that within my B40.  I guess you could also fabricate something from a faucet gasket if you are handy with an exacto-knive or razor.

HI Mike:I got a polite thanks for your inquire but no we don't mail to Canada.
I can fabricate one out of a facet washer but the guns performance deserves better(IMHO).

Well that aint no good is it. I have used this one in a pinch, a bit pricey but it will work with some fitting by you.

HI Mike (and all that responded):
Thanks loads!!
Just ordered it and the funny part it's from the province next door: Quebec.
Its a unique place as in you had better know French or if you go north of Montreal,huge Boone and Crockett moose but no one speaks English! 
What mods does it need for fitting?

I have ordered from them before when needed parts for my FWB 300s. The seal may need the hole opened up a little to clear the end of the barrel cone if it starts to dig in cutting into the seal. The od and depth should be good and I would install it and see how the breech lock up is and if the lever will not latch then trim hole to allow it to just close tightly on the seal.

It's same seal as a B3, QB6, B4-1, TS 45 or the AK and other. Checked earlier, the guy on the other channel still has'em, $20 for 6 of'em.

HI lefteyshot:
If the seller is Steve_Archer his company won't sell to a billing address outside the US(I am in Canada).
That 6 for 20 rings a bell and its a bell I can't buy from.
I would love to have you prove me wrong!!(please)
Take care
Bernie
