    Well....
    Put the first pellet in my FAS 604 yesterday (not even zeroed yet), lined up on a 6yd target, straight through the 10 ring. Woo hoo thinks I - I'm going to enjoy this

    Cock it for the second shot, pffht - burst an internal seal somewhere - no compression. Oh poo thinks I, got to work out how to take the flippin' thing apart now and fit a seal kit

    Ah, the joys of old (ish) air pistols....

    I bought my Fas very cheap because the seals had gone
    I made the mistake of ordering a set of seals from Surrey Guns. He charged me £39
    When thy arrived, I went to my local plumbers and bought a matching set which i keep as spares(they cost about £3)
    Only 1 of the Fas seals needs to be hard wearing and that is the one on the moving piston that takes all the wear
    As an experiment, I just used an ordinary O ring (from a plumbing shop)for this purpose and it still works 2 years later. So don't rush into spending £39 for a set of O rings
    Screwfix will sell you a box of 500 for £14 in a full range of sizes

    If you want me to e-mail you the parts diagram for the 604 let me know, as some of the O rings are duplicated in the pistol.

    I asked a few replies ago about any objections or thoughts on entering wityh more than one pistol, since there was no feedback either way I will say "yes" anyone who wants to enter with another pistol that meets the criteria then go ahead, after all this comp is all about making use of guns that you may not be using so much these days.
    And no doubt the offer of a token prize will sweeten the deal, very kind of you.
    regards
    Graeme

    180!! looks like there is a real competition on now for some of the entrants.

    Scores updated.
