if you have a lathe get a titan xs spring  make a tight spring guide out of derilin may be a top hat  , and if the leather washer is ok just use as is . Thats what I would do .

Hi

I've two and a half Original 45's (Two full guns and a stockless action!), Have to say I think they're fabulous rifles!, One is .177, t'uthers are .22..

 

This one is .177cal and was a Jubilee model but a former owner removed the forestock panels that depicted the factory at Rastatt in Germany along with the badge that was let in to the rear of the stock too 

 

I also like the underlever version, The model 50, I have these three and another in bits, Must get round to rebuilding it one day!!

 

Cheers, John
