good job.. I knew there had to be a reason with that guide
Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.
I had a Combat project a couple of years ago but sold it on, the rear guide is indeed fixed and I had a friend of mine machine the guide down and then had him make up a delrin guide that slipped over the reduced fixed guide and then fitted the new spring snuggly, I never got the rifle back together to see if it worked.

Far too many rifles to list now, all mainly British but the odd pesky foreigner has snuck in
The standard spring is sloppy on the fixed spring guide (only the first few thousand sussex armoury models had a separate spring guide) but there is plenty of power potential there, the simplest way to tame them is use a narrower spring that is tight on the guide as Jon said, this leaves room for an extra liner as well as the original factory black one, make sure you fit a new o-ring (make sure its the correct imperial one not a metric) and that the tap isn't leaking and that the barrel is nice and tight in the action - all this reduces the slam. pellet choice can effect power by a couple of foot pounds as well as keep the slam down, I find superdomes the best all rounders for AA sidelevers.
I recommend against playing with the spring guide or polishing the piston, due to the nature of the sear engagement and non hardened parts any play at all back there will produce a dangerous light engagement.

Wasn't the point of the Sussex Armory/AA plastic fantastic to be LOUD?

I'm surprised it didn't come with a bayonet; the Airfix one did.
