Hello to All,
Ode to Blue-Seal
When I bought my Baikal MP-46M, I asked the vendors if they could supply me spare seals (breach, piston & valve).
No they said
The most commonly listed place on the Interweb to get these seals was Pyramid Air in the USA. The seal set is ca. 25 USD IIRC.
Okeh I thought, I will cough up the dough.
They then wanted ca. 45 USD for postage
I asked why they couldn't send them in an envelope like a letter - they said because the seals might get damaged in the post - sort of fair enough as there would not be any insurance, but rubber rings being damaged !!
Okeh I thought, I will cough up for the seals and the ludicrous postage, processed the order, and 'paid' with my Visa Card.
Got an email the next day from Pyramid saying that my order had been cancelled, as they don't accept Visa Payments from 'Foreign Banks'.
I was not pleased
So, when the valve seal finally goes in my MP-46M, I am thinking about doing something like this :

At least the o-rings should be available in the UK for a reasonable sum
Have fun & a good weekend
Best regards

PS If anybody knows where the elusive valve seals for the MP-46M can be obtained without misery and pounds of flesh, please let us know
