The Record Jumbo Pistol project

[Segata]

She has arrived and she's quite pretty (I'll figure out photos later on), but naturally as project implies shes a Patient.

Todays diagnosis is short as a snapped through bolt needs attention before she's opened up but going through the function processes the springs are strong and theres no noticable signs of metal fatigue, she cocks fine and trigger is good with no unholy noises like the 25 but sadly theres no air pressure.
Now I know there is a common fault, it's unique oval Piston washer fails with age so perhaps it's this, and if it is has anyone started making them yet?

This is just initial findings of course, cosmetics wise she's been cared for so bar maybe a bit of wax and oil so this ones just a case of get her shooting.

Also to add, does anyone make those Bolts, shown to the Old Man and whilst he says it's doable it may be a pig to make.
No order being put in yet mind until I've been fully through it, as it'll be sods law something else is needed.

There is a chap making seals for these, not sure if he's on here or AGF.. possibly both.

Turns out it's both

Cheers Gents, I'll send a PM once I'm certain it's gone (although tbh it probably will be best to change it even if its not as a preemptive measure), just that Bolt to figure out now then, no extractor currently but I'm pondering trying to slot the oppisite end to where the head would be and winding it reverse style to get it out.
Did warn the Old Man that if he does take it to remove it that theres a possibility of tesnion so to proceed with caution, the actual head side has wear to the bluing so not worried about anything marking it there as I'll be sorting it later when the guts are given a clean bill of health.

One thing I must admit, it's very different in weight to the Pistols I'm used to, even the Metal and 'real' weighted Airsoft ones it is noticably heavier than, however that's no bad thing as it feels well made and built to last, not bad going for a first proper pistol I think.

Would you have a link?
Closest I got on there was an old Air Gun Magazine that featured the Deluxe model.
