donnyc 1,203 Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 Small O ring just inside reg where bottle screws in Quote Link to post
ianltz 5 Posted June 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 Small O ring just inside reg where bottle screws in looks about right theres no o ring in the regulator, but when i took it off seemed to be some bits of rubber, hopefully just the o ring worn, any ideas how easy it is to replace?

donnyc 1,203 Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 Shouldnt have one they seal within the reg Quote Link to post

Mesarya 2 Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 I have thebeon mkII .22 FAC, i would say O ring on the bottle is need replacing. Quote Link to post
donnyc 1,203 Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 MFR dont or didnt have one they seal on the o ring in the reg.easy fix Quote Link to post
ianltz 5 Posted June 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 MFR dont or didnt have one they seal on the o ring in the reg.easy fix mine seems to have one on the buddy bottle that looks ok, but there were some rubber shards on the reg when i removed the bottle, so hopefully its just an internal o ring, dropping it in to ben taylor later, he should know if anyone Quote Link to post
ianltz 5 Posted June 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 (edited) top marks Donnyc, shouldnt have an o ring on the bottle, only inside the reg, all fixed and sorted, strange thing is it came with one fitted to the buddy bottle so i assumed it should have 1, this info from from ben taylor, one of the original designers, so anyone who has an mfr with an o ring on the bottle, remove it now before it does anymore damage.

donnyc 1,203 Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 Didnt think Id lost the plot ..The early MFR regs were sent out with a horrendous fault and although Theoben knew it they never recalled them..Not the most reliable reg the theoben one..used to have a terrible internal finish ..Glad you got it sorted..I have a few O rings around somewhere for them.
