Hey everyone.
Firstly wanna say thanks for all the free info you give to me instead of paying out to a 3rd party.
I have my crossman 2240.
And I get a gas leak from the valve. Cooked or unchocked Theres a slight hissing. Even though not major it's a noise I do not want to hear.
today i stripped it and cleaned with oil remover (designed for airsoft guns. Thought I'd ad that I know that then2240 isn't aorsoft. But used it to clean grease before reapply)and cleaned solidly. But still.
Dunno why but i just checked and it wasnt hissing. I then cocked it and it was then hissing again.
and now its cocked. And theres no hissing no sound odlf leakage at all.
im gonna fire and see if it does again
again hissing once cocked. And bolt forward its hard to hear it as I'm listening from barrel entry..
im getting confussed as to where the problem is ( i beleieve valve ) . Could someone ahed some light ?
I will post pics below high shoe internals of what I only can ingrained being the problem.
Quick update.
It seems that leaving the gun alone for a shortish period 10 is mins )
The hissing/ leaking stops from both ends of the gun ( barrel n breach ).
Upon firing it then beginnings leaking but slows after a minute or 2.
I'd really like to fix this.
All helpfully replies are welcome
