FX Bobcat .22 MK1 leaking

[ezerhoden14]

Ive had my suspicions about my rifle leaking, so I charged it up to 220bar about a week ago, pulled it out today and it's at 90bar. sooo it's definitely leaking! It's about a year old.(still under warranty I believe, so it will get shipped back to AOA)

What are the common areas for these guns to leak? 

Any ideas will be helpful.

Couldn't pin down the leak myself, albeit I didn't try very hard, I packed it up and shipped it to AoA.

In that process I learned that "The UPS Store"
being the retail stores, won't ship anything to do with guns. With no explanation other than its against policy. I was required to take it to a hub location or have it picked up at my home. Figured I'd pass that along for what it's worth.

I don't know about MKI but my MKII leaked at the chamber pressure banjo bolt. I took it apart, found the pinched o-ring, cleaned it up and re-lubed, and it's held pressure ever since. Easy fix.

May or may not help you in the future but I like to use USPS when shipping air rifles ( no pistols) . Legal, decent tracking ( these days) and lower cost then UPS or FedEx.

Hope your rifle comes back working well.

Thanks for the tip John.

Yea, should make it there just in time before warranty runs out! They said they are at a 3 week turn around so, I'll probably be without it for atleast 5 weeks :/ guess I'll pull out the old marauder!
