I have one of these to rebuild.
Looks very easy. Stock off. Barrel off. Put in compressor, push in trigger unit, push out pins. Loosen compressor, all done.
Any little quirks I am missing?
Thanks, guys.

Not really stripping but give the stock fixings a good looking at as the welds have been known to break.

Thanks, guys.
Yes, the reason for the rebuild is that I acquired one in OK condition with a broken lug on the cylinder, then (to my pleasant surprise) found a replacement cylinder with the lugs intact.
If I need to replace the spring (e.g. if some previous owner shoved an Ox in there), any views on a sensible replacement? I'd be very happy to have it ticking over at 9-10 ft/lbs in .22".
I cant help on that one mate. I have one with an old cut down Venom spring doing about 11.7 in .177 and another that came to me with a standard brand new spring also in .177 that I think is just under 11. I would add that both have gone over to ptfe however.
If you still have the lug attachment I wouldnt scrap the old cylinder by the way. I am sure there is someone out there with the skill to weld it back on stronger than it was originally?
