FX FX Crown regulator problem

Lamar,
Putting on the o-ring that broke off can be a PIA. It is a 2x1 NBR90 o-ring. The NBR 90 means that it is very stiff and hard (relative to the other ones - NBR 70). That is why Jeff and Jack of Sub12Airgunners made the "witches' hat" that B&K sell. In the video I sent they show how to use it.
I am pretty sure the broken o-ring was the source of your problems. I would not try to replace the o-ring in the rifle body unless when you re-gas the rifle you are getting a bunch of air out of the regulator "breather hole" in the right side of the action. If you decide to repace that o-ring I would get a pair of jeweler's glasses with a light (cheap on Amazon) so you can see what you are doing. Then follow the advice in Post #10 and the Sub12Airgunners video. I have replaced these things at least once in all six of the FX rifles I have owned. Tedious, but doable when you can see it.
Cheers,
Greg

I'd be surprised if ALL of the O-Rings are brittle and need replacing, IMO.
Just be prepared for that.
Once you do it and better understand the method of disassembly/assembly, it's actually pretty easy on a Crown. Once fixed, it'll be a joy shooting it again!
