I’ve got this rifle apart on my bench currently. Lovely and simple components and surprisingly the piston and washer are in very good condition. But it was only putting out 4 ftlbs and I’d like to get it up nearer to 8. The standard spring is also in very good condition with nicely finished ends and is exactly 8” long. The rifle has lost its rear sight but still has the medallion in the stock. The rear sight would sit in a cross breach dovetail but I haven’t been able to find one anywhere sadly. I has th curved section ‘I’ shaped scope rail on and I wondered about eventually fitting a light scope or a red dot... any recommendations ?

Is there a better spring for this rifle without overpowering it and destroying the piston ?

Does anybody have a trigger diagram for this as I feel it may be missing a spring ?

Finally could anybody put me in touch with somebody who would do a nice rebluing job at a reasonable price ?

Many thanks

Steve
