Gamo Piston seal
- Thread starter Temesvar
- Start date
New Gamo 33mm Vortek seal installed.
1) its not as hard and "plasticy" as the original.
2) it went on a little easier than the one I bought from spain
3) 40 shots in it is consistant so far, in about a week I will know more
I don't have a chronograph but FPS per "drop" @50 yards seems very very close to the original.
No complaints so far

Gamo swarm Magnum 10x gen3i in .22, I have 2 of them, both with a Vortek seal now. Now all I have to do is find a loading mechanism for one of them. Had to take it off to load manually. It doesn't push the pellets all the way in and shaves them off a bit when I close it.

My Gamo Hunter Extreme .25 was shooting FTT 20.06g @ 885fps and now 760fps. It destroy the breech seals I replace it twice on both guns.(Swarm Magnum 10X GEN3i). I sand the edges on the barrel latch and hopefully that helps. Bad piston seal or breech seal or both.
Gamo send me 2 new breech seal. They suggest I apply silicone oil on the breech seal and breech barrel.

Looks like your pellets are not fully seating or loose in the lead and backing put enugh to catch the seal when you lock up. The breech seal in my gamo lasted 5-6 years no issues . But i do catch a loose pellet backing put time to time looking to catch me off guard...
