how long can you leve a co2 cartridge in the pistol //1-2 wks 1-2 month//6 months/what is a long period of time??

It depends on the seal where the cartridge seats into the pistol, I have them last months and or weeks. I have found it best to store for long periods with an empty in place to keep the seal's shape in tact. The seals are cheap and Daisy will send you one for free if it blows...and at some point it will. There's a reason these toys are relatively inexpensive.

You take the back of the handle off and unscrew the device that compresses the co2 cartridge. That should work.

I have left a half full cartridge in mine up to five days or so. I really think they are talking about leaving a cartridge in the gun like two or three months. The oil droplet would get old and collect dust and the seal would be compressed for that long. It all adds up to a nice tight seal for greater shot powder. They are too much fun to leave that long anyway with out use.

No co2 used.. it uses a spring that needs to be re-reacked or "cocked" after each shot.. this is a great little pistol though.. you will not be disappointed. Very accurate and powerful for what it is.. at 45 ft i can put all 12 plastic BBS on a dinner plate size target.. at 12ft group them about 3"

I would suggest writing to the manufacturer. Depending on when you bought it they may replace it. One common problem is that people don't tighten the set-screw enough when they install the CO2 cartridge.

I am no an expert, but for my experince with my guns I put one drop of pellgunoileach time I install a new cartridge, I leave mor or less 6 weeks my crosman c41with cartridge installed and no problem has enough gas for more shots

If you are referring to the Air Pistol I used, it only uses a single cartridge. For Max damage, I usually replace the cartridge after 10 -14 shots. After that the velocity drops dramatically with air pistols. If I am just messing around, 20 -30 is about norm. Though this pellet makes better use of the air when firing, as the pellet sits tighter in the chamber than other types of pellets

Hi Herbert... If you are asking about once fired then holstered, it will last almost indefinitely... but if the seal on the valve assembly is worn or leaky then perhaps 2-3 weeks. You can see the valve assembly before you place the cartridge in tube, there is a replaceable seal washer, for the stem of cartridge to push against. To help increase the gas seal use a very small amount of Crosman Pelloil on the tip of the cartridge before loading into position and screwing end cap on. This action will increase "at rest" non shooting life of CO2. Happy shooting, I hope that will help.... Regards David (Milton Keynes, UK)

Are you putting a drop of gun oil on the co2 cartridge as suggested in the owners manual? 2nd does this usually happen right after you putas new ccartridge in? Mine does for some reason. I shoot emptying twice after putting in a new cartridge. That seems to help. It sounds stupid but make sure the pellets aren't in backwards.

The co2 goes in the handle, a cover flips open an co2 lays in,screw it tight good to go. On the accurate part not so much, in 20ft most of the bbs can hit a paperplate. On the bright side co2 last quite well an it fires really fast. Fun lik gun

I believe this gun will last several years even under heavy use. If you start a using CO2 cartridge you might as well finish it as it will slowly leak off in a few weeks

I have had know problems with the co2. Like all co2 guns when you first put it in there is that brief second of co2 leak but the faster you are at putting it in the better.

I have not used anything other than the standard CO2. I don't see why not if the cartridge is the same size.

One CO2 cartridge will last between 3-4 reloads so around 90-120 shots. That is on the full power setting.

I used 4 magazines (4x15 BBs) per CO2 (Daisy)cartridge. The last with decent power. One more clip can be shot but with deminished power thou. I understand that different CO2 brands really produce different results.

This is in addition to my previous comment. In my experience, the cartridge does not work if it is past 6 months of the expiration date.

The CO2 cartridges for these types of pistols have no threading. They are 12 gram cartridges and you can get them for a good price right here at Amazon. Just do a search for C02 cartridges. Crosman C02 cartridges sell for a good price.
