    Have you thought about having a go yourself Cliff? You can probably get any breech seal or piston head washers etc. from Chambers Gunmakers, then most airguns can be stripped fairly easily with typical tools, plus there's a thread on the 'Hints and Tips' section about 'Tuning Spring guns' which describes how to use the proper lubricants when servicing an airgun, and I think there are tips on barrel cleaning there too.

    As Rob say Cliff,
    If you are capable of using a few tools it can be rewarding to do it yourself. (and you learn a lot about the pistol at the same time).

    Unfortunately, because I do them, I haven't had the opportunity to look for someone to do them up, so can't help mate, sorry.

    Sorry, I can't agree that you should try Draper's, I have had a couple of bad experiences with them, they have also messed my brother about over a deal, and have a poor reputation on here.
