started teardown and resealing simple pistol

it is something all should learn to do and those pistols are a good starting point but the 130 can be harder to fix

good work

marlow, I agree... best airguns to start on with builds and repairs. Translates very well into pcp's

I bought a crosman 130 like your dad's at a garage sale last year. The pistol looks like new; no wear, rust or scratches, even has original box. The bad news is it won't hold air, so I'm looking for a seal kit and instructions. Can you please send me a parts source?

Thanks Howard 

Yoopper,

Just saw this on Ebay the other night. I have no ties or financial interest in it.

More than 30 years ago, a friend gave me this 50's Crosman 130 "First Variant" that he'd picked up at a garage sale. It wouldn't hold air (reminded me of the Crosman 760s [also first variant] I had back in the mid/late 60's). I took it all apart, and got it to work with maybe $2 of Hardware Store O-rings (had to buy numerous sizes to find ones that fit/worked). Ever since then, the gun functions fine (can pump it up & leave it for 15 minutes with no velocity loss) on those same parts. Not real 'powerful' (around 300 fps w/8 pumps) but still fun to shoot every once in a while!
