Hardest gun to strip?

[I. J.]

Not a gun but the magazine for a Kral NP02 Puncher.

I dropped mine and dislodged the tension spring. Despite there only being FIVE parts it took me (and a couple of other club members) nearly 30 minutes to get it working again. (I know the secret now. )

I was once told to strip Daystate magazines in a plastic bag.

I nearly suffocated.

That says more about our club members than it goes the magazine!😉

A CP88/92fs strip-down & reassembly DVD from T. R. Robb is available on e**y for less than £5.....or it was when I bought mine. I've watched it and it looks fairly straightforward to follow. £5 well-spent if you need to strip one.

You Tube and Umarex Boys Club are your friend for Umarex pistols.

When you have done a few of the Umarex pistols you can develop an assembly technique. The easiest are the CP88 and 1911, the Beretta a bit more fiddly. I use two things that help a lot, a tiny dab of glue and a foot of dental floss ! I have worked on a few hundred airguns and the hardest so far I think is the Logun Sweet 16.
Others are the Anschutz model 250 with hydraulic damping, the Original 66 trigger assembly.

A Parker Hale Phoenix mark 2. Multiple parts and they just would not go back in place. Never again.

Honestly I found the phoenix just fine, even the very first time. Sure, there's a lot of parts, but it's really not that complex.

Crosman 600 is a real PITA...

Original 35 & 50 if you've never done one before, spring and B-Bs everywhere. Original twin pistons, strip is easy, assy with feeler gauges not always so. Park 91 seemed terrifying, but with help not too bad; some of the Crosman pumps are a pig!! not had any of the Umarex ones yet but never say never. I think every repairer will have had a model that's a problem, but with today's social media, almost every gun has some advice somewhere.
