It has the original leather piston seal which still seals well. Would I be better getting an adapter and fitting a modern seal?
I have had a little play with it and it is a very mild mannered gun although I didn't chrono it before I pulled it apart. The spring is about 7.5" long and there are 2 washers that add another .5" so there was very little preload.
Looking forward to turning it into a looker.
