    cheers chaps...

    It's a .22 E - if you had a .177, this is defo the way to go to get 11+

    Incidentally, I see a synth sealed piston on the bay right now - a good drop in replacement (sale is not mine, but I think it may be a chap on this BBS).

    The 4-5mm stroke makes for a lot of extra air on a 30mm comp tube, plus the reduced friction and enhanced sealing.
    Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.

    I haven't looked on "that" sales site, Jon, but even new from Chambers they're excellent value......£35.60 for piston complete with seal. Bargain!

    yeah, that's decent value for the benefit. Esp if you sell the old one inc leather for £15-£20.
    I think the one on the bay was about £30 all inc (used).

    Sunday didn't happen but today did.

    A lovely little session at ten yards down the garden. Open sighted simple, springer pleasure.

    Love this old gun.

    Just realised that it's actually about 11 years since build, so might treat the old girl to a strip and relube soon.

    Any maybe the later piston?
