The item you need can be found at just about any checkout lane rack in most stores. Find the "eyeglass repair kit." It has some small rubber grommets that fit nicely around the piercing pin. You might need a pair of tweezers to get the grommet centered over the pin. I have saved a lot of send in repairs by doing this. Also, at most hardware stores, you can find small rubber seals used for plumbing repairs. I get the ones that are really small. I have to stretch them to get them over the neck of the CO2 cartridge but once in place they do an excellent job of sealing those nasty leaks.   Posted: Sun Aug 15, 2010 2:21 am AirGunEric Site Admin Joined: 20 Jan 2007 Posts: 6929 Location: "Out There" Why not just get the proper seals? Units for Crosman guns are about $2.00 and for most other manufacturers $2-3. _________________ ` I'd say "I care." But I'd be lying.
