Help with Accles and shelvoke the warrior Piston seal

[Huttles94]

Hi all,

Just dug my old Warrior air pistol out to have a plink with and for some reason whenever I fired the thing would make a thump sound. Saw some red stuff in the air transfer hole, decided to take the pistol apart, first time ever doing so.

After much faffing about I got it disassembled and turns out the piston seal has become mush! Literally nothing left but tiny pieces.

Is there any suitable replacement around? Since mine was too far gone I could not get a good look at what the seal looks like. From what I could tell it sits behind a thick washer like ring(?) which I cannot remove. Ill upload some images of the piston in the morning if I remember.

Anyone know of any solution?

Cheers,

Jake

Jake. Photo on my page shows a leather cup seal. Check the inner diameter of the compression tube. I think it is 1 inch. So a 1 inch cup seal from John Knibbs should work ok as per my reply to you on my Facebook page.

I did think of that. I had a couple of John Knibbs leather seals laying around (Bought two sets off him for my old BSA. Not one fit correctly). But to get it to fit you would need to cut away a lot of material. I tried to do this but just ended up ruining the seal.

The thing about this pistol is that the piston is different to a normal piston. You dont screw the seal to the piston, it just sits behind a large washer which in turn is held in place by the top of the piston. I cant really explain it that well but ill try to upload some images of the piston.

Cheers,
