I would say that if you have a bit of mechanical common sense don't be worried about tackling a strip down.

Mine is the one with the alloy cylinder and I think that only a few of the steel cylinder MK2 version were made. Mine is .177 but would love one in .20 as I used to have a Falcon FN12 is this calibre. The one I tried all those years ago was in .22 and was the only pcp I've ever used that had noticeable muzzle flip.

I'm keen to have a go and will probably be ok until I have to remove the valve assembly. Is it right that I have to make a tool to undo the centre of the valve assembly before it can be withdrawn? Is is also held in by the cross pin and does it come out through the front or rear of the tube?

If the hammer spring does need replacing can you suggest a source as Daystate don't list any parts apart from the seal kit?

Sorry for all the questions but having finally found one I don't want to balls it up.
