How often should you...

[Josie & John]

I suppose it depends on the amount of use the rifle gets Peter.

I have some rifles in the collection with their presumed original springs that are still in working order. My assumption is based on the end coils being stamped BSA and the level of crud found inside the cylinder when the piston washer is examined. If the original spring/washer work, albeit at a lower power level than originally intended, why replace them? Must be my mean streak

What a fantastic find and bit of history.

Interested to see that you also own three Daisys.

That was the butt of the joke.

My 1905 still has original internals and shooting well. It did break a coil off one of the springs which I then refinished and put back. Was on our range yesterday shooting and was surprised at the small groups at 20 yards with .177 Gecos, never tried them in it before.
