Air Gun Spare Parts & Service in India

Quick Answer

Camstar lists 25 spare parts for public sale with published prices — O-rings at ₹99, sights at ₹99–₹499, springs from ₹160, a rotary magazine set at ₹500, a complete CO₂ magazine at ₹6,499. Imported air pistols sold in India have no spare parts supply at all: the importers do not stock seals or springs, and the manufacturers do not ship parts here. The most common air gun fault in India is a perished O-ring. It is a ten-minute repair on one of ours and a terminal diagnosis on an import.

1. Perished seal or O-ring — gas leaks out overnight instead of holding for weeks. Rubber hardens with heat cycling and humidity. Not a defect; a consumable.
2. Spring fatigue on break-barrel rifles — velocity drops gradually after roughly 8,000–10,000 shots.
3. Bent or lost sights — almost always a drop, or a hard case packed badly.
4. Magazine damage — a rotary magazine dropped on concrete, or feed-lip wear on a PCP magazine.
5. Piston seal wear on spring models — usually the delayed consequence of dry-firing.
6. Thread and crown damage at the muzzle — over-tightening a suppressor, or an impact.

The realistic options at that point are: find a local gunsmith willing to improvise a seal from generic stock, which sometimes works and sometimes ruins the valve seat; buy the part from an overseas hobby supplier and hope it clears customs; or accept that a ₹60,000 pistol has become a display piece. We have heard all three from customers who came to us afterwards.

• Gas leaking from the piercing point → replace the butt O-ring (₹99), a drop of silicone oil on the new seal before fitting
• Shots stringing vertically → rear sight adjuster slipping; replace (₹499) or re-zero with our zeroing guide
• Pellets not feeding → cracked rotary magazine; swap in a fresh one from the set (₹500)
• Rifle losing velocity over months → tired spring (₹160–₹249), Allen key job
• Surface rust after monsoon → wipe down and oil; see monsoon care

Do not attempt yourself: anything inside the pressure system of a PCP, the trigger and sear group, or any modification intended to raise muzzle energy. The first two are a safety risk; the third takes the gun above the 20-joule threshold and out of the no-licence exemption under the Arms Rules 2016, which makes possession an offence without a licence.

Can I buy air gun spare parts in India?

For Camstar products, yes — 25 spare parts are listed on this website as ordinary purchasable items with published prices, from ₹79 muzzles and ₹99 O-rings up to a ₹6,499 complete CO₂ magazine assembly. You order them the same way you order a pistol, with a GST invoice and pan-India delivery. For imported air guns from Umarex, Crosman, SIG, Gamo or Walther, there is no Indian spare parts supply. The importers who sell the pistols do not stock seals, springs or sights for them, and the manufacturers do not ship parts to India. In practice, an imported air pistol in India is a sealed unit that works until it does not.

What is the most common air gun fault?

Gas leak from a perished O-ring, by a wide margin, and it is not a defect so much as physics. Rubber seals harden and shrink with heat cycling and time, and Indian humidity swings accelerate it. The symptom is a pistol that holds gas for a day instead of a week, or that vents the whole cylinder when you pierce it. On a Camstar the fix is a ₹99 O-ring and about ten minutes. On an imported pistol with no parts supply, the same fault is terminal. Second most common is spring fatigue on break-barrel rifles after roughly 8,000–10,000 shots, which shows as a gradual drop in velocity — a ₹160 to ₹249 spring.

How do I get my Camstar air gun serviced?

Raise it from your order in My Orders, or call the support line on +91 83296 18409. If the unit is inside the 12-month warranty and the fault is a manufacturing defect, the repair is covered. If it is outside warranty, or it is a wear item like a spring or a seal, you can either order the part and fit it yourself — most are a few minutes with the Allen key that ships in the case — or send the unit in for a paid service. Because we manufacture in Kanpur rather than importing, a repair is an internal job with parts on the shelf rather than a procurement exercise.

Does replacing a part myself void the warranty?

Fitting a listed consumable or wear part — an O-ring, a sight, a magazine, a spring — does not void anything; those are designed to be user-serviceable and the tools ship in the box. What does void the warranty is disassembling the pressure system or the trigger group, or modifying the pistol to raise its power. Both are also genuinely unsafe: a CO₂ or PCP system holds real pressure, and raising muzzle energy above 20 joules takes the gun outside the no-licence exemption under the Arms Rules 2016 and makes it an offence to possess without a licence. If you are unsure which category a job falls into, call before you open it.

Why does spare parts availability matter more than warranty length?

Because most air gun faults happen after the warranty expires and are wear items rather than defects. A 12-month warranty covers a manufacturing fault in year one. A seal that perishes in year three is nobody's warranty claim — it is normal service, and the only question that matters is whether you can buy the seal. A brand with a two-year warranty and no parts supply leaves you with a dead gun in year three; a brand with a one-year warranty and a ₹99 O-ring on the shelf leaves you with a working gun in year ten. Judge an air gun brand on its parts catalogue, not its warranty card.

What tools do I need for basic air gun maintenance?

Very little. The Allen key and cleaning rod that ship in the Camstar hard case cover most of it. Add a small tube of silicone-based airgun oil — never petroleum oil, which degrades seals and can detonate under compression in a spring piston — and a few cotton patches. Routine care is: a drop of silicone on the CO₂ piercing seal every few cylinders, a dry patch through the barrel every 500 shots or so, and storage in the hard case with the gas released rather than left charged. Our guides on CO₂ pistol maintenance and monsoon care go through the full routine.

Twenty-five parts on the shelf, published prices, ordered like anything else. That is what buying from the manufacturer is for.
