"nine point eight"
I've got a gorgeous example that looks to have been a sleeper.
As it's 43+ years old, I thought a clean out and re-lube with modern
moly grease would be a good idea.
How on earth do I get into the cylinder?
The plug looks solid. What tools can I use to open up without scratching]
the immaculate finish?
Thanks in advance for any help on this.

If the MK2 is the same as earlier models don't go in from the end with what looks like a large screwdriver slot, you go in from the front of the cylinder. I'm guessing you knew this ?
Remember, it is the strongest character that God gives the most challenges.

Yep. I know which end to remove just not how to do it!

You can try the following at your own risk : remove the pivot screw, separate the barrel from the action, set it at 90 degs to the action, engage the barrel forend pivot "block" in the cylinder plug slot and using the barrel as a lever (being gentle with the amount of force applied) unscrew anti clockwise.
Or ideally, make a tool up to do similar.

I encountered just such a problem and ended up sending the pistol to Webley for unscrewing - not possible now of course sadly.

I'm not risking damaging the finish.
I've lubed all linkages and sprayed some moly grease into the cylinder via the cocking slot.
I'll leave it standing on its grip to let the lubes migrate and then fire off any excess.
It'll probably only have a couple of hundred pellets through it in a year.
