I have an Impact in .25 caliber. Whenever I shoot the rifle there is a puff of air that hits my cheek. I contacted AOA about this and they told me that 99% of the time this is the breech o-ring.
I went ahead and replaced that and it did not solve the issue. They told me that the 1% of the time when that is not the issue the o-ring that is blown is basically in the center of the gun. I believed what happened was I put the .25 barrel back on and I thought I had the barrel screw down, but the barrel was actually 1/4" from being fully seated. I have gone ahead and disassembled the gun as far as I can, but have run into an issue with not having a .7mm allen key (you can see in the photo). Does anyone here have any idea of where exactly in the gun I need to be looking for this o-ring? So far the gun really isn't that complicated, but that one screw is preventing me from really being able to delve into the internals. Of course I haven't shot the gun in about 3 month and now want to get this fixed ASAP now that it's not 90 degrees outside.
AOA told me what it would cost to have them fix the gun so I'm trying to avoid paying that cost. I know it will be pretty much the same price if I screw something up while trying to fix the gun, so worst case scenario I still have to send it in, but best case I am able to fix it.
