Gem Piston Washer Replacement

[DCL_dave]

Hi

I have a Gem that had a big screw holding a rotten leather cup washer when I eventually got it apart!

I've cleaned them up here, Had a hell of a job removing the screw as it was siezed in place!


The gun was a heck of a mess, Paid a tenner with the .25" spare barrel, Was going to make a stock but found one on Mel's table at Melbourne for a fiver!!




I snapped the trigger guard/cocking link whilst tring to get the piston to move, Luckily it came with a spare on the other barrel (Can't use that one as it's not a T bar Gem!)..



Plenty of emery cloth, Draw filing on the flats of the barrel and I got it shiny!!




I then messed it up trying to cold blue it!!




I should finish it really, Can't even remember where it is now

Hi John,

Looks like a nice EG No9 spoon lever type? (possibly...something looks funky though)... and parts of a JM No2 Tbar.

Edit: The lever is reversed mounted over barrel instead of the cylinder as depocted in the EG catalogue.
