cheers for the replies chaps, all sounds very easy, except i'm guessing that i may run into trouble with the VCR bollo*ks about ordering the barrel ?

There's no problem ordering parts unless you're building WMDs....

I think you will mate yes. Pressure bearing parts are restricted to F2F from a dealer. See here: http://www.gunspares.co.uk/shopcontent.asp?type=News

That's right, they can't send via post, only from a RFD, y'know if I read it right barrels can be sent if they're 'in the white' I assume this means unfinished

I'll be trying to order one in a week of so, just have to see what they say. If it's a no, then i'll visit the shop i bought the gun from and see if they will recive it for me. I think they have RFD status.

you are aware that when loading,you should push the pellets all the way in the barrel with no skirt protruding so it doesn't cut the breech seal?

Yes i am now, i think it was the first 10-20 shots that did it. Once i noticed the damage i turned the seal round and made sure the pellets were seated in properly. No more damage so far. Thanks anyway though.

[ikarma70]

weihrauch usually supply a spare breach seal if you got it new.
should be in a bag with the hex key.

[JamesB]

yep new seal and key in the bag, just didn't want to use it quite so soon. seems to be fine now. I'll get a few seals when i order the barrel.
