    Armex Reaper spares opinion please.

    Thanks for looking. Several leaks, and verdigris on bolt/probe, on this one easy enough in the main but ptfe? exhaust vale seat leaking. Doesn't come in B&K kit and not listed anywhere I can find. Best opinion on how to proceed please.

    i'd strip it down and see if the valve seat might just respond to refacing.
    Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.

    Thanks for rapid response Shedtuner. Here it is hard and ridged . Seating looks good so hoping it's just this seal face.
    Thought of spinning against fine emery board or last resort dig it out and insert something similar. Is Delrin an option please?

    delrin would be fine.. it's supported by the metalwork surround. But as you say, I think a spin with some emery (don't do too fine, it won't work) should ressurect it.

    Looks very similar to the pvc seal on a QB78 series rifle.
    If you can't smooth it out and seal it pm me and I will see what I have.
