    How about machining a new piston head to take an O ring?

    I have this tuned one and it's smoother than a wench's inner thigh, It shoiots superbly too

    I made one of these for an airsporter mk1 as the leather seal was kaput although it wasn't as good as the one in the HW35

    The finished gun and piston was shown in Jim's Real Airgun Sport.

    Unfortunately my doctor won't allow me to use any machinery that I could fall into and kill myself at present, so I couldn't offer to make Les an O ring piston head.



    All the best Mick

    Crumbs Mick, Take it easy mate, There's always later to play on your lathes/Millers!

    My old Faircut lathe is worn out, I have a nice 1950's Myford that's nice and tight on the ways but no room to get it set up until I clear the garage somewhat!
