I got the same problem here, but I don’t know the size of the O-ring. Can somebody help me please? Mine is the .25 TAipan Veteran short.
Thank you for any help.

Shit fire and save the matches
I hope he will still work on other brands, Not just FX.
I think it would be a very sad day for him to turn his back on other brands and only work on FX guns,
But I know its all about money and we all have family’s to feed and take care of ,

I would imagine they’d leave his older vids “grandfathered” but perhaps shun any new vids? I guess we could just ask him but I don’t know him personally as others here might. I would imagine they make him sign some sordid non-compete clause.

Fixed it, Wow I am impressed with the ease the Mutant can be worked on.
I just took the barrel off and replaced both O rings in the breech.
Not sure how the upper hammer got stuck, But I fixed it,
I had to watch Earnest video on the trigger adjustment , seems like the upper hammer spring he calls it was not moving?
Every time his videos help me I donate 20 bucks to his site, Cheaper then someone else doing it. πŸ˜›

Now that Ernest works for FX, it would be a tactical business move for FX to ask Ernest to remove those videos about working on competing brands.

.

Also, did you do a barrel swap before the puff occurred ?

Mike

That’s strange ……
Did you find the breech O-ring after the puff of air, or is it still missing ?
Did you remove the action from the stock when replacing the O-ring ?
