Lawrie Armatruda gave it full strip down and reseal a couple of years ago and that gave it a new lease of life. The other one, I bought in an auction and the power was really low, for about 6 shots, and then it stopped working all together.
The best way to bring them back to life is by replacing something called the "quad seal", which is burried deep inside the little brass "thingy" that fits on the end of the valve housing. This one had turned really hard and had to be dug out with a watchmaker's screwdriver. I replaced it with a small O ring, and the pistol works fine now.
Hi Harry

I had a 1300 years ago, Every time I pumped it, My thumb got nipped between the pump handle and the cylinder!!, I think it was due to the vary narrow pump handle as I never did it with the 1322's
