Hey all.
This is my first post. I just joined. Sorry to those who might be upset by me reawakening such an old thread.
Anyway, I only own one Air Gun. The SMK G-10 repeater. I've had it for many years. I've read a lot of people slagging it off etc, saying it was useless etc, but I have to say, although i'm no "expert" in Air Pistols, I always found it quite good, and I became quite the marksman with it too. Anyway, it's getting quite old, and could do with some TLC.
Basically, the breech seal is ageing and starting to crack and crumble. These seem to be like hens teeth nowadays, which is quite sad that such a popular gun has been allowed to sink into this situation of having its parts become un-obtanium. The part, named "BS024" here: https://www.gunspares.co.uk/products/24504/G10/#parts is the part i'm discussing.
I've tried EVERYWHERE, sending emails, searching websites galore etc, and no success anywhere. I've even searched under all the other various guises the gun goes under i.e. Diana original repeater, SMK G-10 repeater, Milbro repeater, and even under the other variations of G2000 and G2005 repeaters. Bottom line is, I cannot find ANY source for this part any longer. I've tried making my own (not easy) and discussed with manufacturing companies about the cost involved in making the said part (£820 for a minimum run of 100 units) and now i'm discussing with someone about the possibility of producing a couple from drawings i've put together, using 3D printing techniques....which might be possible it seems. Anyway, if this doesn't happen to pan out, does anyone know of anything which I might not, for possibly sourcing these parts? Any other gun which uses the same part? From what i've read, these guns were manufactured for about 40 years, and millions were sold worldwide! So I thought that someone, somewhere, might be able to help!?
Thanks for reading my long post. :-)

I think your find parts are not worth producing since the guns are only £30 or less new so there isn't a big market for new parts.
maybe cut down a bit of pressure hose, or make one out of leather?

Probably going to be easier to find and buy a new pistol, if you can't make a piston seal.

I had the g10-15 ... it was the extended barrel version of the g10 & used darts, pellets & bb's with it. for what it was, it was quite good ... or a least, I thought it was. I had an old dart board I used to shooting darts out to 10 yards, bb's & pellets were for tins & paper targets
best gun i had it never damaged a pellet
