stripping a king rat to show how to deal with a hidden rear breech screw. this one caught me out as it didn't have one!! but you hopefully get the idea.
stripped my mates as2250 king rat with your vids and help advice all built up well seal and running on 12g co2 massive thanks keep up the great work THANKS
my poor king rat needs a seal kit, unfortunately gmac customs are out of stock atm.....but after seeing this video, the seals you used look different, and completely different from what's in my gun. great video, I've been searching for a breakdown of an as2250 for a long time.
@@peasngravyproductions3728 that's great thankyou, i purchased a seal kit on ebay that i found from a1tackleshop for 10.50 only yesterday. should be here tomorrow, but i do want an extra set or two and will definitely use ped ped, great help and thankyou again.
That hammer pin slot appears to have been extended to allow the bolt, hammer and spring to be removed without the usual breech strip......what a good idea!
Just managed to put a modified valve and breach seal in my 2250 thanks to your videos so thank you for taking the time to do this. My breach screws have worked loose a few times giving me a leak that requires re tightening so I'm wondering do you use lock tight on these?
@@peasngravyproductions3728 yeah happened after fitting the parts was thinking I will never have to take it apart again and wounder if lock tight was the answer
If the threads are worn I sometimes upgrade to M4 screws also if it's a plastic breech you can add an extra anchor screw to the front barrel band so it locks it to the gas tube as well as the barrel
Hope you get to see this; My King Rat p/sses air as soon as I put in an 88gr CO2….😢 I want to (1) stop the leak (obviously) and (2) Covert it to 12g CO2……..any advice please?
Good to see a king rat strip down. That screw you took out in front of the pellet probe to or three of mine have the screw there but the others don’t. I have five king rats two I have finished and I have three to do so maybe there’s different models all mine are AS2250 king rats. I’m shore it’s two ware there ant a screw it’s not ware the pellet goes in it mite be three guns I have it may be two and I’ve thought why is this. After a valve turn what’s the most psi would you put in the valve the two I’ve done there 850 psi but the next one I do with a 24-inch barrel I’ve been told the turned valve can accept up to 1100 psi but I think 1000 psi is safe. Any way good video.we’ll done.
Hi I've waited a long time to get a king rat in too work on usually its just parts of a king, as for psi I've seen 1800 run on them and it's normal to run 1100 on one when you change to .177 to get sub 12lbs. I was a bit shocked to see it was a front mounting probs screw and not a hidden one. Maybe next time I get one in or an XL
@@peasngravyproductions3728 Hi my friend. I never new the valve of a king can accept 1800-psi that’s a lot. My 3- king guns I have not started on yet I can’t get to them at the minute because I’ve got so much stuff in my bedroom and there in the back of the cupboard. I am 100-percent two of the the screw can’t be seen because I remember looking at the 3-left I have thinking what one to do next that’s when I noticed know screw. I’ve bought enough to do two more but I’m thinking of getting a work shop in my garden then I can use my Lathe. I split with my X the bitch took my house from me I won’t talk any more about that. I have all my tools in my ground floor flat the good thing I have a garden not many have gardens but mine has I all so want my super bike in my work shop. My next crosman will be all stainless steel and multi shot I bought my multi shot from GMAC.and one I’m going to do in brass.I have a one off wood stock plane wood are do that in beach stain I have so much king rat spares new and 2nd-hand. The main tube of theses gun I have two with the valves in them all complete. I mite do one in 1.77 because I have a lot of pellets.are talk to you another day.keep safe my friend.
Hi, I've just been given a king rat, but when I fit a new 88g tank, it leaks gas and doesn't hold it for longer than a day. I've ordered some new seals from T R ROBB but in 1 of your videos you say one needs to buy a new valve stem as the seals are non replaceable, where do I get them from please?
First off you need to understand where its leaking from but tbf if your going to strip it anyway its best to renew all seal for what it costs. drapers-airguns.co.uk/gun-spares/crosman-king-ratcatcher-firing-valve-stem.html or gmaccustomparts.com/oxt-026-valve-stem if you can't get one you can always buy a standard 22xx stem and cut the pierce part of the stem off as its not needed
@Peasngravy Productions thank you for the information. Is there any reason why drapers is twice the price of gmac? Also the valve stem in the picture doesn't look like the valve stem in your videos 🤷♂️
2240, 50, and 60 use the same stem with a pierce pin attached which punctures the co2 cart. The king rat does not need the piecer pin so the exhaust stem does not have it. You can cut the pin off the 22xx stem and use it in a king rat if you can't get a correct one. And no idea why different sellers charge different prices, probs what they have to pay for them + their mark up. As you know these guns are American so all spares come from overseas
@Peasngravy Productions you're an absolute gent, I really appreciate your information and help. So am I correct in thinking that the new valve stem will have a new seal already attached?
Yes, they come with the new seal already fitted. No one has of yet that I know of has managed to successfully just swap out the seal on its own. And glad to help

A pal of mine called ped ped who is one of my admins on my Facebook group sells the seal kits
@@peasngravyproductions3728 that's great thankyou, i purchased a seal kit on ebay that i found from a1tackleshop for 10.50 only yesterday. should be here tomorrow, but i do want an extra set or two and will definitely use ped ped, great help and thankyou again.
Great glad you got sorted.
I needed to do a breakdown on my gun thank you so much for making this video it was the best explanation ever
That hammer pin slot appears to have been extended to allow the bolt, hammer and spring to be removed without the usual breech strip......what a good idea!

That was what I hoped it would be. Thank you for the kind words

@@peasngravyproductions3728 not so easy to find these buddy

I dont use thread lock at all am surprised that the screws work loose.

Find and fix the leak and add a 12g adaptor on the back I use one when testing

Any updates on the brass 2240 that thing looked like it was going to be sweet
Hi thanks for the reminder I need to get it finished.
Any chance we could talk over the phone or email?
Yes not a problem but youtube will not allow phone numbers or email address to be published I don't think
