DIY - bog standard easy peasy

Have heard you have to remove the scope rail to get the piston and rotating breech out to change the seals....

Don't fancy attempting that!

Just done a similar one, i held the gun up-side down an using two blocks of real hard wood (one on top of the other) (to give plenty clearance) knocked the rail till it came away, this is of-course after un-doing the bolt at the back of the rail,, was quite easy.

No probs daz..if you can get the orings etc, the offer still stands

[russian sniper]

It's getting the bugger back on that's the problem

Agree - angry man, pissy bit of steel, big mallet, thin steel tube = something is going to end up oval

If you prepare the parts to be fitted it goes back far easier than it comes off.

Take a small, fine file and gently take any rough edges of all edges that will fit. The leading edges of the lugs on the scope rail can be given a tiny chamfer to help ease the parts together.

I then smeared the thinnest glaze of O seal grease along the mating parts. Only needed a few light taps to get the rail back in place. Certainly not the nightmare that I had removing the bogger!
