    To be honest there is no real substitute in the long run for replacing the seals. I often get leaking CO2 pistols swimming in lube where owners have tried to put off the inevitable.

    That makes sense, but perhaps lube is preventative maintenance?

    May work for some, but when they wear or get gooey, only one real option...

    And that's why I asked for the name of someone willing/able to do repairs or servicing.

    You are right to do that, I am surprised that no-one locally has come forward to offer. I only do work for local mates, and do not get involved in posting, plus I have now got 3 months of cancer treatment to endure. I only know of one guy who does repairs and posting but he will not work on the more modern C02 pistols like yours which can be very fiddly.
