Replacing o-rings or seals on my Beeman model 1517

[Duke]

My Beeman model 1517 pcp no longer holds pressure for any length of time. I found the kit containing all the o rings associated with my rifle but I have no knowledge of how to do it. Does anyone have any advice on how to get some info or at least some diagrams of how to disassemble and reassemble a pcp air gun?

Try looking on YouTube...... over the years I've come across some really good videos on how to disassemble and repair PCP rifles.

I have looked on you tube, I couldn’t find anything pertaining to what I was looking for. I even emailed Beeman for some help or at least some direction and got nothing. I’m hoping there is someone on this site that has replaced these seals on this same model. There has to be some diagrams, some instructions or videos somewhere.

I'm sure that information is indeed "out there" somewhere.  Hopefully someone here will chime in and provide  you with some personal experience with your rifle.   In the meantime keep searching the internet, that's what I would do.  Sorry I can't be of more assistance.

I did some research and found some info on other airgun sites that your rifle is based upon the same build as the Beeman Chief 2 and that the only major difference was the stock and that the internals are almost identical. 

I found this video on YouTube on the complete tear down and rebuild of the Chief 2.  Hopefully this will help you out.   Here's the link

I just watched the video. I think it was just what I needed. I’m going to order my ring kit and give it a shot. I’m hoping it’s something simple, I’m not sure I want to remove the regulator as they did in the video. Looks like that might be a little “over my head”! Thank you very much……….

You're welcome.  I'm very glad I could be of assistance.   Let us know how you make out
