I see this ad from a seller in Switzerland on GunBroker all the time. Have heard of the "blue seal" but not familiar with red ones. These are not the infamous "pink" seals or their kin, are they?

I bought a couple of these off Gunbroker..

and they worked good. I could not really tell any negative results between these and the blue. At $6.00, I would buy again. Buy several at once to make up for the overseas shipping. Fast shipping though. I had to wrestle pretty good to get one on a Model 350. I have many shots through it though and I have no complaints.

Couldn't JM be buying these and selling them domestically?

I experienced a fast response on questions and fast delivery from Kueng Airguns. Also theirs customized Dianas ( unfortunately not for sale sad.gif ) look extremely great.

Have been using these seals for sometime now on 54, and keep replacing them every 3000 shots or so. Work Great.
