Described as a scraper ring on the big supplier's site,no need for it.
Stripped today 'cos piston was seized. As expected buffer crumbled and nylon head binding badly. Seems the fix requires alloy replacement head but for the mo' going to keep as found.
Can anyone say what the steel piston ring is for? Thanks for looking.

deejayuu,
The alloy head from Chambers comes with an O-ring that is far, far too big
Luckily my friend had an O-ring in his 'odds & sods' box that gave the correct fit.
The O ring position on the Chambers head seems far too far back from the nose of the head - IIRC about 15 mm - why they didn't put it just behind the nose I don't know.
Have fun & a good weekend
Best regards
Russ
I've never seen a scraper ring like that before on any of the heads I've taken out but saying that I've never had one with a synthetic head either only alloy.

Far too many rifles to list now, all mainly British but the odd pesky foreigner has snuck in
I have had two bsa scorpion pistols with the same head.
Thanks all. Back together temporarily and output around 8 ft. lb. with Superdome. Original, as found, spring 3/4 tap washer buffer and near enough "O" ring from bits draw. That'll do nicely for now.
Needs a cocking lever latch. Fragile synthetic thing.
Should you need to replace the o-ring the below may help.
Standard o-ring is imperial BS212. These are often (well the three I've done...) very, very tight and power robbing. I find an imperial BS 211 works better.
Thanks Frog will look at that. Do you know dimensions please?
I have only seen the metal ring on the nylon heads.
