I’m currently refurbishing my Anschutz Model 250 target rifle.
This is the rifle with an oil filled damper system to reduce recoil.
It didn’t look like it had ever been apart but as expected, all the internal seals were cheese and the oil filled damper had leaked everywhere.
I’ve sourced new seals, uk power spring etc from W.C.G. in Germany. They provided some hydraulic oil for the damper. However I’ve also read online that automatic transmission fluid is recommended.
Anyone here have experience of these and any knowledge on best oil to use in the damper system?
Appreciate any advice
Steve
