Gletcher Nagant Pellet Pistol

[Jimny4x4]

I am about to service my own Co2 airpistols .
The Seal for the gas bulb can be heated up - hot water then pressed firmly into and under any retaining band .

However , for a proper strip down , a better 'tool' can be made up relatively easily .
Some thin alloy , brass , steel .
I have an old tv aerial that was to be thrown out - I kept back the rear metal signal catcher ...flat sheet of stiff ally - purfick !
I will hacksaw or Dremel a small rectangular piece to the dimensions of the two slots in the Retaining Band that hols the Co2 seal .
Probably better to cut oversize then flatten back with a file .

Measure , cut roughly , file smooth .
For the central area you would want to make a small area to fit over the actual piercing part - simply get a needle file and make a small semi round indent to allow the tool to fit in the slots without snagging the piercing 'tip' .
This can then be inserted into a wood dowel to form a handle or simply grabbed in a pair of pliers .
I intend to make a couple at the same time for some of my main users ...these seals put up with a LOT of pressure each bulb insertion and they cope with Co2 gas sometimes blasting out when removing the near empty bulb .

Last resort ...Hmmmm Swop it to me !
