Aleakto

[Retracted_Yeti]

So, I just noticed my Alecto was loosing power it seemed. Sure enough I could hear the dreaded hiss when pumped. I check Tom Chambers and it seems there are no seals available,except for the breech,only the entire compression tube is sold which was not in stock anyways for like 130 something. Anyone know if this is true ??

Try a drop of three in one type oil in the little hole in the cylinder first!

Cheers.

The Alecto is also known as .... Zoraki HP 01 if that helps with sourcing parts ?

So, I knew about the Zoraki name. I looked at T.Chambers under Zoraki and.....They carry internals there! Who knew. Thanks for the clue.
It's great to mine the collective brain trust.

Well...Order is in for the Alecto/Zoraki leaky parts......Decided to splurge on an extended barrel and suppressor. I'm into it now.

Excellent and I’ve now learnt I can go to Chambers if ever I need bits for my Alecto in the future as I didn’t know that, I’ve only been told you can’t get parts for them.

I take it the oil didn't work then?

Cheers.

Nah... worth the try .....I had my doubts though...... I think that would work better for a spring piston rather than a pneumatic.,most especially a leather sealed one........ Looking forward to my extended and threaded barrel. No silencer imports to US but I've already got one on the way from a US company to fit the M10x1.0 threads.

FWIW my Mk1 Alecto started leaking within a week or two, my RFD sent it back under warranty, it came back with a new valve system and it has been as good as gold ever since.

Hmmmmm.....nice .... Well at least I've found a parts source and have since ordered all those seals for the valve and compression tube.
FYI...,there is a little mod you can do to the Alecto where you get in it and turn the pressure valve racked to the right and you pick up about 20% more
power.......I did it to mine .....There was a nice vid about it ...In a week or two I'll have my new extended barrel with a froggy made suppressor.
I'll comment on it afterwards.

Mine certainly doesn't need the power turning up, it's quite punchy as it is!

(friendly FYI, we try not to talk about power mods here)

I suspect these guns will last a lot longer if shot mostly at 1 or 2 strokes; 3 strokes puts a bit too much stress on the internals I think, and is not particularly fun to cock for extended sessions.

So I got the threaded and extended barrel for the Alecto......Got a 7" moderator... and the thing is ..amazingly quiet.... Kind of blew me away.the alecto was pretty loud. Always had a good crack to it.. All gone with the moderator......I'm talkin 007 here !

I got the threaded barrel too - incredibly quiet isn't it?
