Cocking the hammer , on the first fill , is common. I do it on every new PCP.

Thanks for watching and the comment. A link to the video as a tutorial for taking the gun apart and putting it back together is in the description. At this point in my life, I was basically making a video for my dad who was dying of cancer. I shot my first rabbit on my first hunt that I was allowed to take a gun, I used a Crossman 766 with my dad. This was his model he got to take care of starlings around his house and gave it to me as the last gift he was ever able to give me for Christmas. He was a bit upset that it wasn't running right, but even with bad RA and other bone and joint issues I told him I would get it fixed, and I did and he was able to see me do it before he passed. This was not intended to be an instructional video. It was more of a, "Thanks dad, I told you I could fix it." video. At this moment in my life my nerves were shot too much to put together a tutorial, Thanks again, have a good one.

I hate to hear that. I had problems with Air Venturi myself, sutomer service is horrid, my pump has been good for me, knock on wood, but guns and other stuff from them suck, their service sucks so I feel for ya man. Hope things worked out for you on this.

Thanks for the comment. I don't get on here much anymore, I do still shoot my guns and love them, just not doing vids these days. It could change but I'm not into spending every dime I get for the latest greatest thing, nobody wants to see older, good guns that I use so I stopped with the videos. I appreciate you checking it out and hope it helps you in one way or another.

I have no idea what break barrel you should check out. Mine is a great gun, accuracy is great, but I had to Gorrilla glue the piece back on, it's worked great since then.

The seal is easy to change, I did a video on it. I was pissed, but after changing it, knock on wood, I haven't had an issue with it.

​@@slowpokeairgunner4027could you show me the video , mine just blew

@@slowpokeairgunner4027 whats the video name?

This is not a video about how to assemble this item, this is about me doing it for personal reasons, mainly being that it was the last Christmas gift my father gave me before he passed of cancer two years ago. If you will read the comment under the video you will see that someone else has a video on how to take apart, and reassemble the original Crossman 766, which is this exact model, only made black and stamped with Remington on it. Check out that video.

Sorry, I haven't been around much. I won't use my archery targets because it messes up the bolts when they hit the lead stuck in the target. A trap like this one is pretty good for catching the lead, some bounce out. There are metal targets made that will catch it all for you, try one of those, that is what you're looking for. Thanks for the comment, sorry about the late response.

There's about a 5 ft per second difference (slower) between under LED's and outdoors. I can't remember what I did in this video, but I tested it a few times with different guns. I tried a Lil' Duke BB gun, and some pellet guns, they all ran right at 5 ft per second. I had read it but had to test it myself. Other lighting, because of the movement (flashing) knocks the sensors off, you want it to stand still if possible, thus the reason LED lights are best indoors. I did some reading, video watching, and personally testing things myself before doing this video, it's accurate from what I came up with.

I made this video a couple of years ago and since I replaced the seal (see video on easy fix for this leak) it hasn't leaked since. The seals come with it, this one needed a Delrin seal replaced in the release valve. I got mine from Pyramyd Air and they told me on the phone to replace the seals and see if it worked. I hate it that you had to return yours and it's taking so long. It's normally just an easy fix from what I've saw, and this is the seal that leaks. Mine came with several in a bag because they do go bad.

Oh, and after my problem with the Avenger, I really don't mess with Air Venturi much anymore. I like the Nomad 2, but after the trick they pulled on me with the Avenger I do my best not to buy anything of theirs, I'll never buy another gun from them unless they decide to make good ones that have good seals and poppit. It's the third gun they put out with leaks and they had me send mine back and returned it worse than what It was when I sent it to them, and of course, they had no desire to fix the issue. It's happened to quite a few from what I've seen in the forums. I got burnt out on it and heard about how it was all my fault for not buying a $2000 gun to many times. They have the community programmed to yell, "That's what you get for buying a budget gun", and of course, it's pushed by those they pay well as sponsors and then the herd takes over and it becomes a game of giving more to the already well off to advertise for them. I'm pretty much over the ego issues in the industry and elitism. Sell their products for them for free with TH-cam videos and other social media and they'll spit in your face and expect you to keep coming back. Nope, I'm not that guy.

I don't shoot the Avenger anymore. After the issue with the warranty and all the BS with it, I'm not really interested in the gun at all. I may have ran a mag or two through it since it came back, some day I'll fix it, but I'm still not ready to mess with it yet, I have two other budget guns that are just as accurate out to 136 yards for me and I've had no issue with for years, knock on wood, but yeah, when I want to shoot I grab something reliable, if I have to shoot I grab something reliable. I appreciate your comment, have a good one.

Sorry about not responding, I haven't been keeping up with the channel a lot lately. I got mine on ebay, seller should be in the subscription. You need the parts for the Crossman 766, it's the same model done in black with Remington on it. This one is the older pre 2011 model which is metal with the plastic stock, the newer models are all plastic, you'd have to check with the seller on that. But yeah, it's the same gun, look up the parts for the Crossman 77, and there is a video of a guy taking one apart and putting it back together. At the time I did this I had a wait of a week after I got it all apart because a gasket was missing in the kit so I had to wait for that to come in. I had so much footage I chopped a ton of video and ran through it real fast since there is already someone doing it here on YT with a Crossman 766.

I knew what I was getting into, they have a track record of putting out guns that leak, same issue as the first two. I got this one as a gift, and as for the get what ya paid for, I've got a gun I've had for several years now that still shoots like a dream, actually two, but one hasn't had thousands upon thousands of pellets through it, thing is, they still work great, no leaks, powerful, my go-to when I know I need a gun that will do what I need it to do. So, I'm pretty much so sick I could puke of the "You get what you pay for" excuse for this rifle, I only have four pcp's, all are budget guns, this one is the only one that has issues. I knew all about the gun before I ever got it, I was waiting to see if they would fix the issue or screw everyone over like they did on the last two models they put out, and once again, surprise, surprise, surprise. I watched the video of it being torn down and the crappy poppit in it as the same models. There's no excuse for the horrible repair service as well, they fu***d it up and wanted me to pay, again, to mail it back to once again gamble and see if they would actually fix it or pull the same BS. It is absolutely impossible for the gun to have been fixed and not leak enough overnight for them not to see it clearly. Low price or not, it came with a useless warranty as well. SO you saying you have to pay high dollar to get an actual usable warranty as well? Come one man, you're making excuses for them, that's why they do it, the same exact line has run through this industry for years, the same exact line that comes out of everyone who buys they excuse and will resale it for them. Stop making excuses for companies to put out garbage and they'll stop doing it, they're making millions upon millions screwing customers over and you're selling the lie they want everyone to be sold. Sorry buddy, if ya ain't got a couple grad to toss in on a good airgun and system then I guess your trash and deserve to be screwed over while we make the community tell you it's your fault for not spending thousands. How much ya think it would have cost for a good poppit and seals for this gun? a couple dollars at most, they could have tacked an extra $50 on the price and it would have been worth it. I've also heard nonstop about how it was made in China. No, it was approved by a company in Solon, Oh, which was in the USA the last time I checked, and considering I'm from the state and worked literally right down the road from the place years ago, yeah, it's in America, and they had to sign off and approve it to be made the way it is, materials and all, test it, etc, etc. So blaming China isn't gonna work either, not that you said anything about it, but those two excuses given to the company to use as their excuse to screw over their customers, again, is why they do it. Thanks for your two cents on the subject though.

@@slowpokeairgunner4027 I was gonna get this air ventury, that’s why I have been watching videos.Didn’t mean to offend you in any way.So far I’m more than happy with my gamo swarm magnum gen2 22 cal.However,it would be nice to have a rifle that feels more like a traditional rifle.For my once in a while shooting,forking over $1,500 or more doesn’t make sense.The ventury has nice features for sure,being able to depressurize the gun is nice.Don’t want to have pcp if I’m only going to shoot 3 rounds lol,then have it sitting for weeks under pressure. That’s why I love the gamo magnum,cock it when needed,that’s it lol.I don’t know if it’s possible to release air out of the gamo urban 22 which a was thinking about getting.

Thanks, I appreciate ya dropping a comment.

I tried that back when I had the leak, didn't work, but thanks for the info. I do the same thing to my other guns occasionally, they have a fill port so I try to get a little in the fill probe hole to keep the inner seals lubed. I have one I need to change the seals in, it doesn't leak and shoots fine, it has the original seals from four years ago and it's doing fine, but I know it's recommended to replace them about every couple of years.

It's hard to find slugs that shoot well out of mine with the choked barrels.

I appreciate ya checking it out.

Thanks for checking it out. Yeah, they are like having slugs for choked barrels, lol. I can turn it up and get a lot more power out of it, but I don't want the wear and tear on the valve and hammer.

Yeah man, great for downrange power and I can open it up to get a lot more power for bigger stuff like deer and coyotes. I know a lot of people probably want to see the power this gun will push with them, I guess I need to give that a shot, but I won't keep it there because I'll be replacing the valve and hammer soon if I run it wide open like that. These are about other weight of the slug I got 80 fpe out of with it opened up, I'm sure it can do 75 to 80 if I want it to.
