Ok, will see how it goes.
Thanks Maximus
To test a tap .. good advice above. I have also placed a bit of moist tissue over the closed tap on a loaded gun and fired it. A leaky tap will blow the tissue off. Or you can dribble a drop of oil around the tap sides .. a leaky tap shoots the oil away. I have heard about people using talc powder for this but was warned away from talc because it can be an abrasive if not all cleaned away.
Cheers, Phil

Far too many rifles to list now, all mainly British but the odd pesky foreigner has snuck in
Hi Bru,
Intended shooting would be paper and metal targets up to say 30 yards with scope if I do my bit!
No live stuff.
The targets from Reflex look great competitive fun with a couple of mates.
I’ve now made a start to dismantle but realised it would be good to have roll pin punches to do next job, so just waiting for delivery now

Nice one for making a start. How far have you got?

Not far, sling, open sights, Tasco 4x40, arrestor block and stock removed, now waiting for some pin punches.
Looking forward to the rest
Hi Joseyw- OI know you haven't got a vice but have you got a 'workmate' or similar? I used to use one until I acquired a proper bench and vice.
The 'workmate' saved me a lot of grief!

Hi Tony. T
Yes, I’ll give that a go, should do the job
Cheers.
Good suggestion Tony.T.
So, are we going to have a go at whipping that trigger block off then, Josey? As stated before, steady as you go........

Yes gave it a go
Muzzle on carpet, hand on trigger block (but was only hand tight ? ) unscrewed barrel, was easier than expected but the spring length when removed was only 230mm long perhaps this was why and I got lucky!
Just got to remove piston now, is this by gently tapping piston down through the cocking lever slot until there’s something to get hold of?
Cheers.
Basically, yes. It can sometimes help to tap it one way a bit then tap it back then tap it forward again etc. A squirt of a lubricant on the piston body from both ends can help . Removing the tap can help this but if you are concerned, stay with lubrication from the cylinder end.
It will come out....
Cheers, Phil
Thanks Phil,
Next job then, I’ll leave the tap in for now I think.
Cheers
Congratulations on making that start, Josey.
Carry on.
