Q:

Leaky stem problem

I was trying to get my SS sighted in at 30yds when I noticed shots wer sparatic then the sound of air leaking. I notice my tophat was lose, I tightened it but it didn’t stop or slow the leak. Do I need to replace the whole valve set up or is there a way it could’ve worked loose or something?

Thanks

The gasket seemed to be ok. I added teflon to the threading and loc tite to the grub screws of the tophat. It is holding well so far. I’ll try another site in tomorrow.

Sorry, I thought it was blasts of are not a slow leak.

Could mean a new valve seal, not hard to replace

Most likely your breech o-rings are worn and are passing air. Grab some 90 durometer ones and your good to go
