Around autumn 1988. Welsh Willy kit , or if your near Staffordshire give Simon Atkins a ring.( the airgun doctor) . Google. A.g.d.

You'll get it half decent by just giving it a basic spit & polish tune & fitting some nice fitting tinbum guides. For all we know it could be dieseling like mad, with a 40coil titan crammed in there. Rectify the problems & it'll be a vast improvement. Total cost, about £25 and an hour of your time.

Had some great results from a tune as above,debure ,Polish,new style piston seal,a spring sleve made of plastic from a milk plastic bottle 4 pint type .along with a terry robb steel rear guide polished.
I used the o m spring,but after the internal work I had to remove a few coils to reduce power.
Great consistancey so smooth to cock and little recoil what their was straight back into the shoulder .
Very very nice.
I've used kits too but kits alone without the internal fettle only do so much.
Steel guide 23£' new seal 11£

Which ever way you go it should be much improved over stock sloppy rear guide .
Some use a smaller dia spring too with good results for uk limits
