Thanks Ian.
Is the mainspring retained by the round screw block located front of the trigger unit?
Am I able to safely remove the end cap without a big boing!
Using some logic(?); I am looking at it and it appears that I should be following this sequence:
Remove end cap.Is there any load on this cap?
Slide back the scope mount, carefully lift and remove.
Remove trigger unit.
Compress the mainspring, then unscrew the round block/retainer(?).
Well, there you are, at the top of the collectables section
"Idiots guide to classic airgun strips " by ggggr .
I must qualify as the advice was accurate and easy to follow.
Initially I was apprehensive about removing the end cap as I could feel spring pressure on it when loosening off. So, I held a screwdriver blade against the mainspring coil and could not detect movement when unwinding the endcap.Onwards.......
Tomorrow I will complete the strip by adapting an old pipe style sash cramp as a spring compressor.
Thanks for the assistance
Good luck and enjoy.
Sorry Ive only just seen this and Im a bit late but for future reference.
The end cap only retains a trigger spring.
Undoing the 'round screw block located front of the trigger' WILL unleash the main spring pressure which should be done in a spring compressor while at the same time the scope rail, on a key-way must also be removed.

This should work.
The images are not in any particular order but they will allow you to see the condition of the BSF.
When it arrived I only put one slug through it. Some one has previously been hammering it beyond safe.....

The gauged stock? I think that I will clean that up and lay in some glue/timber mix. Or perhaps fill with resin with an insect inlay? The cocking arm link pin is a beauty, right??
