Hi Dave,

Any pics of that fix in situ ?

Wonder if PTFE sheet may be able to be used (is it robust enough) ?

Here's a pic from my file; not the best I'm afraid; will see if I can find some time after the holiday to take some from one of the collection!

PTFE is not sturdy enough but PET may be fine and, I think, readily available in sheets!

The discs do not last forever though but longevity can be vastly improved by smoothing the edges/corners of the cyl slot!

It would be very easy (although I have never tried it!) to cut a profile matching the piston slot and fixing with a dab or few of supoerglue or appropriate Loctite!

Can't recall who it was who recommended re-profiling the miushroom head since it was quite a while ago!

Anyway BrumBow fans, happy airgunning!

Cheers Dave,

I was thinking of using a little bit of Polymorph in a donut...it's easy to shape in situ and hard as nylon when cooled again. Can wear down but it would also be easily and cheaply replaced....see how it goes in a week or two might have feedback.
