A parcel containing Relum underlever pistol bits arrived yesterday. I hadet a look at them and know that some bits will be needed for the 2nd one (hopefully not the first), so if you have a dead one I know I'll need the plunger like sear and cockng arm pivot bolt.
I have managed to get one pistol firing very weakly and could do with a different mainspring to try. I think something like an old Webley Mk1 might be able to be cut down if anybody has one?
Some interesting things showed up lookng at the bits. The Hurricane (underlever) has sights like the Tempest (break barrel) I have. The plunger like sear in the one I was playing with today is different to the one on mine and requires the gun to be stripped differently. Also, the other piston is different to the one in the pistol, having a shorter rod, making me wonder whether it was for .177 or .22 or another reason. Also, one stock does not have holes for a shoulder stock.
I hope this is of some use to some Relum fans out there.
Update---I've tried the BSA 240 Magnum spring that John sent me.The gun is a bit stiff to cock and is not exactly a powerhouse, but it is working now and if can get another tired spring (BSA 240 Magnum or Webley pistol) I may have a tinker/ cut them down and see if I can get a balance between ease of cocking/little noise and reasonable power and accuracy.
To Phil---PjBingham----thank you for the call last night. It saved me a lot of time and effort.The offer to return the pistol to you stands for a short while, until I get "Detachment issues"
