Help Broken Cricket
Went to shoot today and got 5 shots out before it quit.
Seemed like it was out of air even tho it had a full tank.
Took gun apart and the plastic spring holder on the valve plunger(?) was broken
Where can I get the broken part?
I think I can make one out of brass or alum. Will the added weight of the brass/alum affect how it opens and closes?
Which material would be better? I assume that I would still have to use the stock plunger rod because the alum/brass would deform overtime
Its the plunger(?) next to the valve housing
and the snap ring is not a part of the valve I have no idea why its there

Yes, airguns of Az.
Dumb question
I’m assuming AOA is Airguns of Arizona right?
Thanks so much!
Ill call them monday
Mine did that, call AOA they have that part and the new ones are made out of aluminum and rubber.
Already have, its killed a few starlings since this morning
Use some high strength apoxy and bind the pieces back together…then look for a replacement.
Delrin would be a better material than regular plastic. It’s what’s used in the Edguns for thier valve rod and proven to hold up for 30k cycles and counting,one exception is when pushed past guns limits.
Hate to say but I wondered what quality of crickets internals were going to be skimped on to get them out quick and cheap.
Should be an easy fix regardless.

Warboom 72,
What serial number cricket do you have? I’m just wondering when they changed to the new style? I have #800.
Thanks
