I have several airguns I am working on and as I strip them for repair I will measure the length and diameter of springs,piston and bore of cylinder , if we do the same with more modern rifles and pistols it could be helpful for replacement of obselete parts ?
Att. Mods .
One of the most common parts in vintage springers are leather washers.
Most have either 25mm-1" or 28mm cylinders, and if you are a bit creative with a lathe, washers of guns with the same diameter can be adapted between them.
