    Bsa mercury mk 3

    Anyone got a cylinder they want to part with ( the blued one pins not bolted ) also the one I have seems to be a bit batted inside ? . The piston head as two o rings and a buffer washer is this normal and I can't seem to be able to remove the pin that olds it on.... any ideas

    Sorry I don't have a cylinder for you, what cylinder are you after a mk2 or a mk3, the mk2 has a pin and a mk3 has the bolt, the trouble is you can't interchange them as the cocking lever and stock fitting is different (as well as the mounting bracket), also I've never seen a standard piston head with two O rings, so I wouldn't say it's standard.

    Then you'll need a mk2 cylinder, not a mk3, what does the cocking slot on your stock look like underneath?

    Serial no starts zc the stock as a chequered grip and it as a double linkage cocking lever.

    Right then, you have a mk3, which has a bolt, you will have to get another mk3 bolt cylinder as the mk2 cylinder that uses a pin won't fit your mk3 cocking linkage and stock, so you should be asking for a mk3 cylinder for a bolt.

    No problem, just didn't want you getting the wrong cylinder
