Why not buy a couple of seals from Eric or D&L they should have some, only a few dollars....KEN.
I appreciate the pointers, which led me to the Crosman 600. Looking at the seals, as pictured on Crosman's site, the part no's don't match and they don't look quite the same, but I'd appreciate if anyone can clarify it for me. The airgun in question is a Crosman 622 - a slide (a la typical shotgun) operated CO2 repeater and I have searched for several hours trying to find the "for sure correct" seals to no avail. I'll gladly buy a set of seals if I'm assured they will work in the 622.
Meantime, "Plasticman" delivered into my hands a selection of plastic pieces, which I'll attempt to turn up to fit. What a gentleman and what a great bunch there is on the group. Thanks, Plasticman!!!
Cheers! Hamish.

Eric did come through with the correct seal kit (not listed on his website, but available). He's certainly the "go to" guy for Crosman stuff, - check with him first as not everything he can supply is on his website.
Unfortunately, I'm on an extreme budget and just couldn't justify the $50.00 + it would cost me to "maybe" repair a "non-collectible" airgun, as Eric had a $30.00 minimum (I neither want or need any more airgun stuff right now, or in the forseeable future). Add to that good ole' Canada Post costs, which keep increasing it seems - they say, according to the news, that they'll have to stop residential deliveries soon, as they are losing money???. ``Ken`suggested a cost of a few dollars, but I think his idea of a few dollars and mine are not quite the same - CPP and OAS just don`t allow too many extras - LOL.
Anyway, as I'm a cheap a**ed Scotsman (according to my wife, who swears she can hear me squeak when I walk
) I thought I`d keep experimenting with what I had on hand, i. e. the plastic kindly donated by ``plasticman``. Now I have no idea what the various plastics were, but a little sheet he gave me looked promising so I turned up a square piece to make a washer. It fitted OK, so as I started to assemble it, I noticed that the nut to hold the stock on was missing (I got it as a basket case, in keeping with the Scottish stereotype). It didn`t stop there. The two halves of the action body had sprung, so I drilled a small hole and put in a nut and bolt to hold them together. The tube which holds the CO2 cylinder attaches to the valve body with one solitary screw, so I added another 180 deg from it, which at least kept things more-or-less in line. etc. etc.
But finally I got it assembled and came the test - will it hold CO2É Yes!!!!!!.
I`ll check it again in the morning to see if it has`t leaked out.
I`ll post more tomorrow and, if it has held CO2 OK, anyone who needs pictures and further details, please let me know.
This is more fun that a (put your own idea of `fun`here).
Cheers! Hamish.
