Don,
Poppets will go when they are good and ready.😂
I had one go on my PRod so I ordered four.
I had three rifles too (all sold now).
One of those rifles had more than 45,000 pellets fired.
No more poppets failed.
You know how it is?
When your are prepared for something, it never happens.
The same for the seals.
Good luck.

On o-rings for a NON regulated ... 5-8 years, on a Regulated figure 3-4 tops.
Poppets are VERY varied as some guns and there seat design may vary seldom to never fail, others such as Crosman have a higher failure rate.

Thanks Frank and Motorhead im sourcing spare parts for my bengamin cayden in
22 i will also order a couple poppits for it at same time as i think they are made of nylon

As far as the avenger it also depends on which poppet you have. They changed the poppet I believe last year to 1 that will last longer than the first one they used. You can't really think age but number of shots and how high the regulator is set. The higher the pressure the more wear.

I had a poppet on my gauntlet .25 go bad after a week, put a hajimotot one in because I didn't have a lathe yet to make my own. His poppet has been just fine after 1000 rounds and more dead trash bandits than I can count.

I have PCPs made in 2014- 15 still working perfectly, but I know any day that may change. Most of my leaks were with new Benjamin Maximus way back when the guns were new and under warranty. OR self induced from tinkering.
