Superdomes 8.3. Superfield 8.4.
Reading this with interest...I bought my .22 Airsporter new in 1973. I doubt if 5000 pellets have been through it in all that time. About 6 months ago I re-discovered it (actually grandson found it in one of the bedroom cupboards along with my old HW35), so started a bit of target practice in the garden.
With the Airsporter I probably fired off about 200 pellets and noticed the piston sticking, pull the trigger then gun fires after a slight delay, but then it got worse and the piston apparently jammed in the bore. The piston does gradually let go but doesn't fire. Prior to this malfunction I hadn't noticed any lack of power etc.
So, how do I go about stripping the Airsporter to look for what's jamming the piston?
The HW35 is still working ok, buts seems 'agricultural' in comparison to the Airsporter..and it's heavier.
