Broken Bravo 1892

So, here's my story.

I buy a broken 1892, figure it can't be too terribly hard to solve. I take it to Capital Airsoft to see what their gun doc (Sheldon) can do. As of this point he was not able to figure it out, and I took the gun back as they are moving.

This all being said. My 1982 will not hold gas and it seems to just leak out at some undefined places. I can feel gas escaping straight through the barrel and other parts around the receiver as I attempt to fill it.

Is there anyone someone could recommend taking this issue to? I didn't spend much on the thing, but I still pray badly for it to be repairable.

Any help would be great

Does it have a removable gas reservoir? If it does, remove it and stick the thing in clean plastic container filled with water. Bubbles tell you exactly where it's leaking from. If that's the case than you might be able to repair it. Replacing o-rings/some plumber's tape/while lithium grease usually solves leaky mags.

Here in lies the problem. The gas reservoir is really weird...and not removable...and seems to consist of the lower barrel, and a good portion of the receiver. There are o rings everywhere...but all of them appear to be in good condition...I even soaked all of them in silicone oil for good measure.

Even if it was removable, it wouldn't help as it doesn't hold any gas at all.
