    I have an early Excaliber pre 3000 series number plus an FX2000..from what I can see the fill ports are the same. The valves, seals & springs are still available. My old FX2000 often leaked from the fill valve & now my RWS leaks. The only difference between the two is the stock & gauge. My understanding is the Webley Axsor is basically the same. I advertised them last year but changed my mind to have a go at doing the seals but never got around to it, might advertise again as it's a shame for them to gather dust.

    Just a thought if you want to come over & have a look at the FX2000 fill port I'm not that far away & try to fill it with a dive tank if you only have a pump.

    Hi Pete, don’t know if you are on the other forum but there’s a guy on there with the user name the Logunator who fettled and tunes pcps. He did the reg and tune on my akela and can’t recommend his work enough. He’s an absolute expert on the older fx based pcps like the Excalibre. Probably worth having a chat with him. His prices are very reasonable too 👍

    Thanks Chris, I'll see if I can still get on there.

    A question for anyone that has stripped an Axsor/FX2000/ Excalibre... is there a way to remove the filler end without completely stripping the whole thing and pushing all the guts out? I had my recently acquired FX2000 semi stripped and with the 3 cylinder bolts and the one out of the muzzle support removed it still felt like there was resistance. Any help greatly appreciated.
    One shot, one kill. Not luck, just skill.

    Another vote for mick he's a top man & his turn around is quick too . Had 4 guns resealed by him a couple of years ago including modding the trigger on my sons R10 & fitting a huma to it.

    Well I replaced the cylinder inlet assembly off of a Webley Axsor and it now fills from an air tank, but I still struggle with my cheap Chinese stirrup pump but why am I not surprised.
