HI,
My bolt seal is flat, partially covering the port hole, and pealing rubber. Is the best way to replace it just to stick a new seal in there or is there some way to glue it in?
Thanks,
Richard

Re: IZZY 46M Bolt Seal Replacement
To test if you need to replace the bolt seals, just cover the bolt area with a light tissue paper, cock and shoot the pistol.Scrench wrote:HI,

If you see that a puff of air has moved the tissue, then you need to replace the seal(s). I never had any problems with my seals, just leave the bolt unlatched when you finish using the pistol and use a slight dab of silicone grease when you see them dry.

Kevin,
Thanks for the reply. I tried as you suggested and there was no movement of the paper at all. It still shoots R10's @ 495 fps average, but since the seal is partially covering the port hole and looks like it's falling apart, I thought I could get a little more fps out of it, plus I'd rather replace the seal before it fails in the middle of a match or something.

Re: Izzy Seal
If the pistol is shooting 495 fps. average, the velocity is O.K., and if you're using the gun for competing then you should replace the seal.Scrench wrote:Kevin,

Are you using the R-10's that weighs 7.0 grains or the 8.2 grains?
