Yes firing valve is leaking
I have just been to shoot a rat. Walking back down the garden I heard the sound of air escaping. The rifle is leaking out of the bore/barrel.
Ideas?
Where in the east suffolk area is there a good air rifle service man?
Thanks in advance.

This is a mk1, It started leaking years ago from the exhaust valve, I stripped it (as I recall it stripped quite easily!), The valve seat had a line where something had scored it, Possibly from the rubbish aluminium cylinder I was using back then!, I spun it in my lathe and pressed on with fine emery cloth until the score had gone, It's still fine to this day!!
