Webley Ranger/Erma ELG 10 performance tuning

[Hsing-ee]

I think you might be the BBS expert on this particular rarity!

I thought this rifle was quite sturdy, being derived (so I heard) from the Erma rimfire. How was it damaged?

It was an accurate but rather low-power plinker, so restoring it to standard condition would be the way to go. For a bin-slaying underlever look to the Career or Parker Hale.

Erma link for a little info ... seems you need to lube the leather washer properly, in which case do the Tuning the Older Springer routine on it...

I suppose a carefully selected spring and a plastic piston seal might help a bit (Vortek might do one and a converter if it is a 25mm piston) but I imagine the swept volume will be rather small and it would maybe affect the value of this rare rifle to start serious engineering on it to gain a paltry about of power. Its a 6 fpe rifle, plenty for paper or cans or Polo mints.
