    Check the side of the reciever for a small hole with a pin drifted in which acts as a Heath Robinson AT device. Sometimes you can simply tap this pin in until the reciever comes off, other times it needs drilling out.

    Woes continue with the sumatra. Thought it was weird the gun had zero pressure when i pulled it out of the cabinate. After renewing hammer spring i filled her up. As sson as i udid bleed screw the gun emptied its guts again. Next job to replace the seals. Being pressure locked for so long looks like the seals have blown

    Where is it leaking from ? They are not really hard to work on, once you have have the extra long blad bladed screwdriver valve removal tool. But if it's only leaking from the cylinder ends, the valve can stay put...
