Avenge-X chasing air leaks

[rdtricks]

Started this afternoon with what on first glance should have been a quick and easy fix: air leaking from where the air tube attaches to the block.  Well several O-rings later and it appears there is a new leak further into the receiver.  Looks like I will be tearing this rifle down and replacing all O-rings.  Does anyone know of a tear-down video dealing with the Avenge-X Classic?

I have managed to locate a video on Youtube dealing with the tear-down and reseal of the Avenge-X (all variants).  The video is from "Shooters Den" located in Pakistan so no English.  Watching the video several times and paying attention to the details shown has helped me understand the construction of my Classic Avenge-X.  Now on to the resealing job.  For those of you interested here is the link: .

I just finished the last two hours chasing leaks in my 1 year old Avenge-X.  Each and every O-ring I came to within the rifle was hard, brittle and a real pain to remove.  For those of you considering this task be aware the O-ring kit from Pyramid Air isn't much better than those installed at the factory.  I am currently looking for a full listing of the O-rings utilized in these rifles and will be posting my findings once an aftermarket set has been assembled.

The video I posted above was a good visual aid in getting the project completed.  Overall not a terrible task if good quality O-rings are available.  One thing I did notice once everything was back together and a full measure of air installed - the regulator creeped from 100 bar to about 160 bar.  Not sure how that happened as I did not touch the regulator.  Hopefully the rifle will hold air through the night as I am looking forward to shooting it in the morning.

Oh yah, there was one extra part found on the towel once the full assembly was completed: a very tiny external circlip.  Wonder where it came from.  Maybe the forstock mount?  Only thing near where I found the circlip.
