Original Model 6 - parts or scruffy example wanted

[Benelli B76]

When assembling I always check that gears can drop into place centrally between the two racks without any force required and the side pinions can be easily screwed in place with fingers only initially. This indicates that everything is aligned properly. If any force is required it means that something is out of correct alignment.

Exactly, its a fingers only job when assembling. I always do up the gear caps without the gears at first to see if there are any stiff spots (there should not be any) on the threads.
Once this has been established and the caps can be done up all the way in effortlessly, you are all set to insert the gears and close the caps while minutely adjusting the pressure on the rear piston to align the racks with the gears with the pinion of the gear caps, till the caps screw on using fingers only.

Good advice - now all I need is the parts!

Another tip I learned when repairing our six club model 6's. Before reassembly screw on just the mainspring cap a turn, then slowly unscrew it. Mark the exact spot that it comes off with Tippex on cap and body. When reassembling align the marks, back off a tad, press together against the mainspring and rotate to engage thread. No guesswork while the biceps are struggling!

There is no struggling to assemble an Original 6, you can assemble the spring using a simple clamp and the spring is held in a compressed position by the gears. The end cap can be screwed on easily by hand under no pressure. The picture below shows the end of the back piston with the spring pressure behind it and the cap removed. It is one of the easiest spring piston air pistols to assemble.
