Anyway, yes it does make the gun much less frustrating to shoot - particularly if you're right handed.

Buckmark safety is doable, but only by filing the inner front edge of the safety catch so it isn't nudged 'on' by the cocking link.

At least in this case it's more easily reached with your thumb, but removed you get the ability to de-cock - probably more useful when it comes to breaking open the gun for cleaning and lubing than for anything else.

Hi Iain. Sorry if I confused the story. What I meant was the visible slide switch on the side is what leavers out not the internal mechanism. As Im sure you know, the switch only contains a small spring and ball bearing. I leave the internals in situ. The gun functions just fine without the on off switch.
Haven't done anything with the Buckmark as I think I might have weakened the spring through overuse, or a seal somewhere is not holding up as, unless its my technique, I can sometimes see the pellet arc downwards, so its not giving consistent power output. I only paid £60 new for the gun so dont think it warrants the expense of a repair job, and I haven't any experience of respringing a springer. ATB. Pete.
