Will be watching tomorrow at work but wanted to leave a comment for the dark and mysterious entity known as the Algorithm before I laid down for the night. Looking forward to your findings 👍
Your findings are exactly as mine, although my valve is fine and I did take apart the valve also. Your leak may be the seal inside the valve, either the thread oring or seat seal. I still had some slop in valve movement with the new valve retainer screw but it's better. I fix that but adding side screws through the sides, especially when modding and adding power you want the valve safely secured. The Phillips screws on trigger frame seem durable. I've torn mine down a dozen times without issues. I believe only the fastener heads have changed, and threads remain the same size. When assembling, push the probe fully forward and seated and then push barrel up against probevtip to perfectly align the transfer port holes to ensure complete probe seal and max airflow to pellet. The air tube on these newer guns polish up nice on a buffer wheel and retains all printing if you want the shiny steel look verses blued. The 3 Trigger cover screws also now larger hex head.
No it actually seams to be a dark finish almost like an oil or phosphate blueing and they are all finely finished. Quite better than previous Crosman USA parts. That’s why I’m not dumping on this gun. The truth is I see a number of successful attempts at product improvement. By the same token, no matter how well it’s made. It needs to work out of the box.
If valve number is 2260, then originally used on the 2260, based on their typical part number scheme. Interesting that gasket seemed larger and more pliable. I would have thought a better seal from that. ~Papa T
Well, it still leaks so the original seal must be fine. I’ll probably switch it back today when I go back it. The valve nomenclature is interesting I believe I’ve seen exploded parts diagrams listing the complete valve as 2250 or 2260. Thanks for the explanation.
@AlsAirguns may end up going straight through Crosman? Then you'll be able to see how changes in customer service are. At least I think that part has already transitioned? Maybe not. 🤔
They try to use the same material as what used to seal the valve stem. To seal the front of the valve. It probably would of work but it's a softer material so it would have to be thicker then the original style for it to actually seal when pushed against. That what it looks like to me. Just my opinion 💯👍👌✌️🫡
FANTASTIC video Al , I’ll be looking forward to your part 3 video 👍
Thanks man, much appreciated.
Barely pierced!🤠
No it got a good pierce.

Thanks for that! Gotta feed the algorithm. It’s like the plant 🪴 in little shop of horrors. Always screaming 😱 Feed Me! Rest well.

That’s really good information. The final video isn’t out yet but pretty much the same thing here.
It seems like the high-friction parts have a dark coating on them, or is that just the lighting?🧐

Having had to do exactly the same on my chinese crosman. i found the "fasteners"
way too tight compared the my american models.Easily stripped too.
Wow, that’s rough. Mine were pretty standard.
Do you use lock tight blue on the screws when putting the pistol back together?
No I did not.

@AlsAirguns that's a shame that leak is still there, must be the valve I guess.
@@PapaTAdventures The craziest part is Amazon doesn’t want to refund or replace. Of course, I refused to accept that answer. So the tale continues.

Already spoke with them. I’ll let you know more in the video, Good suggestion, great minds think alike. 😊

Thanks for the advice. I’ll be tearing it down again so I’ll check. Thanks!
