    It's always the same with me; this delightful collectors corner reveals to me a rifle I have never heard of and I want one. Don't worry about saving it for me, another trinket will pop up soon enough to replace it as my new object of desire. Really I should be selling, not buying or coveting other forum members things

    I know what you mean,I seem to have a lack of control when faced with the "to buy or not to buy"on these older rifles,and sure enough something else comes along and it all starts again.Thanks it's nice to know others have this problem.

    I see these guns on US sites quite often, but I have never seen one that said it worked. Has anyone successfully repaired one? Assume it has to be done by making your own seals?

    All of my Apache pistols and rifle work. They have been resealed with polyurethane by Lawrie. You could try JG Airguns in the US who have resealed Apaches I believe.

    There is a full article on the Apache pistol and rifle on my website.
