    Bought it second hand from sports and leisure in Blyth mate
  2. hedge wanderer
    And another because I couldn't decide which of the 3 pics showed it best?

    Nice setup mate. Guns arnt my cup of tea but you can't deny on the accuracy and ability of the 510 and R10. What I've been using the last 3/4 years. Think it needs a new spring mind. Feels week but in it's hay day was the most accurate untuned Springer ive ever shot. You do get a creaked neck carrying it around mind?

    Atleast I finally got 1 haha. Quickly dispatched it and from what I see, it hadnt been too stressed out as the snare was is fairly good Nick, no twisting. All prepared and into the freezer ?

    Cheers mate?

    Cheers for the heads up mate. I was only going to grease the points of contact on the piston where it rubs the inside of the cylinder and the slightest bit of grease on the piston seal and obviously the top hat, spring and spring guide but if you recommend highly against me doing that ill take your word. Should have the piston head, top hat and spring guide tomorrow or Wednesday

    Just for comparison, the original, broken one on the left the replacement on the right

    Lever retaining latch came. Believe it's from a mk2 as its metal and narrower than the one on the current rifle but should still work

    Just out of curiosity, is the bisley gun grease a moly based grease, just I've got some of that kicking about. Will that do??
  10. hedge wanderer
    Cleaned up nicely
  11. hedge wanderer
    I'll take your advise mate. Got the piston polished in my improvised polishing jig haha. Going to try and order the parts later on today
  12. hedge wanderer
    The sleeve was to more or less dampen the sound of the spring hitting against the inside of the piston that's all
  13. hedge wanderer
    I do ? I also like the webley side levers too. There's a bloke who owns a junk shop as we call it in Newcastle with an airsporter mk2 in decent condition in the window. I'm guessing I could get for next to nothing compared to how much they're worth

    Yeh my dad said they were even in the mid 80s. One of his mates managed to get his hands on a hw77 and my dad just couldn't get on with the weight of the thing. His current and only gun, a Theoben fenman is the only break barrel he's ever owned, all the others were airsporters starting with a mk5, an airsporter S and Rb Stutzen which he then traded for a webley raider while he was working in Oxford in the early 2000s. Regrets it massively he says but said out of all them the S was the one to have. Think he also had a few model 50s ? Id say a good history of gun ownership ?

    Looked like a smashing few hours mate

    Cheers for the heads up mate, what I’m going to put in is, A new piston head a delrin top hat and spring guided a piston sleeve oh and a new lever retaining latch ? all for the sum of £53... hope it’s worth it

    I’ve been told I would only be allowed up on weekends when there is nobody about nearest other buildings are a farm and a housing estate 700yds on the other side and open farmland the good majority of the way round

    Edited it because the emoji looked like it was rolling it’s eyes haha
  19. hedge wanderer
    Looked like good fun mate ?
  20. hedge wanderer
    Cheers for your opinion on it mate? I havnt seen anything like that either mate. All the repro piston heads have the one O ring so going to go with one of them. Either from John knibbs or T R Robb
  21. hedge wanderer
    No wonder it was wobbling from side to side haha. Does than pin hole look right to yous lot??
  22. hedge wanderer
    Yeh I've been looking at those. Also been looking on airgun spares. Probably just going to go with the steel one mate like you suggested
  23. hedge wanderer
    No that isn’t very far mate. I’ve been looking at them but it only shows the one O ring at the front. Gonna get the piston head off sometime today and see why it’s wobbly for a start. wish me luck lads ?
  24. hedge wanderer
    Instead of using the steel export piston head, could I just use the lighter, bsa plastic piston head, or do you recommend the steel export one over these? Or what’s your opinion on the alloy piston head, just I don’t really want the power increasing too much by using the steel head?
  25. hedge wanderer
    Found it haha. Looks like there's 2 pins? One is silver and the other is tarnished so probably the actual pin
