You can now take the end cap off the cylinder and remove the pin holding the trigger unit in. When you remove the unit, a thick washer should follow but this is often put behind the guide by mistake. This washer helps to stop the trigger from rocking. The trigger adjusting screws were corroded on the one I stripped so I just removed the trigger and sear and the spring and lubed them up. They had corroded in so I used a bit of "plus gas" to free them first. The pins are held by little circlips similar to Webley trigger pins. Once you have this sorted put it to one side. To remove the mainspring etc get your bit of tube with a cutaway (see very first post in guide) OR with this you can get away with a bit of brush handle. You will see a big nut on the underside of the cylinder. This needs undoing like the Gamo set up, so put your bit of wood down the cylinder to keep pressure on while you undo the nut. Once its out, release pressure and remove the thing it screws into, guide, spring and piston. Piston washer is held on (on the ones seen, which I think are late ones) by a slotted alloy nut. Undo this with a forked screwdriver or similar if you want to remove the piston washer and buffer. The one I did was a bugger to get off as it had been cross threaded. I managed to clean it up and get it back on to fit by winding it on with some cutting and tapping paste (trefolux I think). Go to next post.
