    Mach 1.5,

    Spares/service kits can be had from :

    http://www.customgunparts.co.uk/page7.html

    I don't know if they can do the servicing work themselves, but it might be worth asking ?

    It seems that this is perhaps not a rare occurrence :

    Might be worth PM'ing Garvin here on 'BBS.

    Benelli B76 (here on 'BBS) has rebuilt one (Post #5) :

    Well, I bought this rifle, lever stuck out and all! The lever non return issue is definately ABT related, but temporarily disabling it allowed the gun to be fired. A few shots later and the piston buffer disintegrated, the breech seal followed and I managed to get a bunch of pellets stuck in the barrel before I found this out. On stripping I found the leaking hydraulics crammed with grease instead of ATF!

    It has been a long time since I've bought a rifle I've been more pleased with. I can't wait to get this problem child shooting properly to show those oh so predictable FWB 300s shooters what they're missing. I love it!

    When you've finished, I wonder if I can interest you in a Titan Bearcat that I (and the previous owner) have royally f***ed up??

    (sorry for the drive-by thread hijacking).

    Ta-Daaaaa!!!

    My hydraulic service kit, piston buffer and breech seal arrived today, so it was back on the bench for a rebuild. The central rod in the unit was missing a C clip, that meant it wasnt moving the way it should. Thinkng that tgrough I worked out that was the reason the ABT actuator was all over the shop!
    Everything has been cleaned, polished and relubed with hi moly paste and the difference is amazing! From a lurchy, crunchy cycle which barely moved the pellet up the barrel its changed to a smooth yet sharp recoilless cracker thats pushing JSB's out at 7.8ft/lb and Hobbies at 7.2ft/lb

    With parts and bipod it has cost me £216, and now its serviced it should be ready for another 50 years of use.
