O rings / brass inserts sound excellent, I asked because below the lever side of the tap on the stock mine is small area that is darker than the rest of the wood.
Perhaps grease may have leached from tap during 30+ years of storage?
Or just from where the wood may have been refinished (unknown) and was applied heavier in that area?
It is GM model with a Matt finish and in good condition for age.
Or even someone’s hand during use over time, Don’t know.
Hopefully with the methods previously suggested to check tap integrity then I will know once re-assembled and that it doesn’t leak

I had o ring grooves added to the tap on my 22 Airsporter S. These went round the diameter of the tap either side of the pellet hole but then I had grooves milled across above and below the pellet hole to form a kind of square in which I could seat an o ring. This has worked well and now the gun makes reasonable power where as before no matter what I did it wouldn't go over 8 ft lbs.

I’m definitely hoping for more than 8 ftlbs

Far too many rifles to list now, all mainly British but the odd pesky foreigner has snuck in

Great news, Pete.
That little lot should keep you nicely entertained for a short while then.
Safe journey my friend.

New parts fitted
Just used one power washer to start with.
Have now got a Lmbr chronograph and tin of Superdomes and Ftt pellets, so need to clear a bit of space in garden at the weekend for some testing and hope all is good.
Cheers for everyone’s help along the way, it is much appreciated
Zebedee
Excellent stuff.
How does it feel to cock and de-cock? Much smoother I guess?
Will look forward to hearing how the testing goes.

Interesting thread and reminds me that I need to get on and sell my Airsporter S.

Unfortunately it was seized solid before I started repairs so don’t remember [35 ish years agoExcellent stuff.

Cocks and de-cocks absolutely fine with perhaps more tension than I may have expected, no doubt the ‘newness’
Should probably stop watching these ‘sorted, tuned, upgraded’ top end Weihrauch and Air arms etc rifles on you tube though!
Very much looking forward to some numbers at weekend
