BSA Hornet knockoff valve

i have a slow leak in my bsa sportsman so got pull it down soon mate,valve same as lonestar and hornet,and prob leaking at valve to,as have replaced all the seals,its got be valve seat now have cheched and replaced everything else,how much of a hurry you in??could be couple weeks til i get around to it.

BSA guns are all well designed and easy to take down,have both mine apart several times now,fiddliest part getting the little bolt lock out and back in,its a fiddly bloody thing eh!!maybe just my sausage like fingers eh!!dont know when will get to taking rifle down mate but got be soon summer hunting coming up

dosnt take much to break the seal on a valve,the tiniest bit dirt will do it and if that dirt becomes embeded in the poppet seat the leak will slowly get worse over time as the embeded dirt will damage the actual metal valve seat as well,i have found tiny bits of metal embeded in poppets that some how got left in valve when gun was made,in one case this completly destroyed metal valve seat beyond repair,this metal had to have come from some where and as only brass used in gun was the valve i believe it had some how been left in valve during manufacture as it turned out to be tiny piece of machining swaf.gun involved was a maurder rifle so can happen eh.

same here mate,i never but anything i can make myself. sent your package monday,has it arrived yet mate??if not let me know and will track it down.think this is tracking no/LE11666391NZ porirua.

you got it working then,awsume!!
