    Then you need to ask yourself if you should be mucking around inside the gun?
    When you get the plastic cover off at the rear you will see what you need

    Simple answer to that would be I'd find a place to Chrono it if it was absolutely nessacery and I think I get what you mean as I've got schematics for something like that for the Daisy, it is a pronged tool to take tension off the spring block which I'm guessing is its version of the pin.
    Do I need to get some grease on hand? I've got some copper anti slip stuff and oil wise 10w60 and bog standard 3 in 1 but not much else as not worked on much in years thats required it.

    Been doing a little searching on youtube and watched a Chap do it on a Tx200, shows molygrease packed in so I'll check the pack Dan sent me and grab some more should I need it, he did offer to send me tools too so I'm wondering if he meant the broomhandle thing, I'll text him tomorrow and check as I'll have the Car then too to pick things up.

    Ah yes the infamous Bum slide, I remember seeing that before lol, I'll take a look and don't worry I know it just wants a tickle otherwise you introduce resistance.
    Just want to be sure I get everything right as it's somewhat my best Rifle and was given to me to learn to work on Guns with.

    As Nick mentioned earlier, you really could do with access to a chrono. Before and after readings are important as they'll tell you if you have improved things or not. Much more importantly you need to ensure you don't go over the limir. Supersports, especially in .22, can easily and comfortably exceed our 12ft.lbs limit. When I fitted a new standard spring (and TbT guides) to my 1986 .22 version, it was exceeding the limit by a wide margin yet felt very civilised to shoot. Two shortenings later it shoots at just below the limit with its most efficient pellet and feels very benign.
    As also mentioned, you need that "stepped prong" to push down on the rear of the spring guide whilst clearing the pin. Beware that some of the pins in the trigger mechanism might be loose and fall out. And pay attention to trigger parts orientation as you'll most likely need to remove them to get the piston out. Looking at some images and schematics will help there.

    No pics but its just a 2" offcut of broomhandle with a hole drilled in towards one end & the wood cut out with a coping saw to the end to notch it to clear the pin to use a spring compressor on it for taking apart. Goes in the rear end of cylinder after removing the plastic end cap.

    The one Lightning22 made arrived today, it sounds like it's a similar shape to it so should this one break I'll make one using it as a template however this once feels very sturdy so should last a long time.
    I'm now painting the Airsoft Beretta but it'll be next on the Bench once I've cleaned and prepped the area, wish me luck Lads.
