Title: Crosman 338
Post by: Craigl on June 06, 2024, 06:24:48 PM
I can’t get my 338 to seal after putting in all new seals from Henry Ford. This is the only air gun where I’ve had this problem. Anyone have any suggestions?

Hey Craig
,

I disassembled and re-assembled a crosman 150 ten times before I got it to seal.  Good Luck .

I recently resealed both a 338 and Z77, and had some issues with CO2 escaping at the face seal on both of them.  (The Z77 is just a 338 hidden in a plastic Uzi shell.)  The seal kits I used did not come with a piercing pin so I reused the old ones, and I think that's the issue.  I plan to pull the guns back apart and replace them with T4-041s.

Hey Randy, I use these seal kits for my Cr. 150's, they work perfectly. I have more than 10 Cr 150s and re-sealed all of them. The seal kits from other vendors (had some of those) do not seal perfecly unless you heat the gun/rifle so the rings soften up a bit.

I should said valve stem was bent and sticking. Not a seal leak. Thks
