I need one each set of RH adjustable grips and one each LH plastic grips for 6M/6G pistols. Am also looking for user comments on experience with the FEG pistols. I know they are older and out of favor but I have two that shhot well and perhaps a new cylinder valve modification is available to eliminate the ball valve slow leak on these guns. Any help????/

Thanks,
Jim

Jim, I have a FEG GPM-1 that I bought second hand last year. For me it is more of a collectable than a possible main shooter. I like the overall build quality but haven't gotten the last bit of creep out of the trigger as yet. The valve on one of the tanks did start to do the slow leak recently. I put a few drops of Crosman Pellgun oil on the ball bearing and then filled it from my bulk fill tank, hoping to get a little oil into the cylinder. After getting it full I propped the cylinder to allow it to stand straight up with the valve at the top. I then put a couple more drops of Pellgun oil on the bearing. I could see a few bubbles slowly form and pop in the oil bathing the bearing. I left it like that overnight and by morning there seemed to be no leakage and there was still CO2 in the cylinder. I topped up the fill again and it has remained okay for several weeks now holding the CO2 fill. Give it a try, maybe it will work for yours too.
One of the airgunsmiths who works on the FEG and has parts is Paul Landrith in Texas. His email is: Paulsgun@Comcast.net Let me know if you need any additional info. Good luck, Joe G.

Thank you. I'll contact him. I like the FEG--too bad it has such a history. I've got two that work fairly well and want to see a fix for thjat problem.

Regards,
Jim

I have just bought a leaky FEG GPM 01 and resealed it with a Polyurethane seal,

Congratulations on searching the archives. This 6 year old thread must have had an inch of dust on it ;-)

I'm adding the info where it might help others who find one of these and joined up just to post on this thread - sad huh? ;-)
