Hi all
Seems know one wants to service a spring side lever (business) no knowledge left.
Anyway after looking for info seems very thin on the ground.was trying to find a video but no luck.Anyone know of anything for stripping the side lever.
Cheers all manxi

They come apart easily. The cross pin is held in place with a grub screw that needs to be removed first.
There is a diagram of the trigger floating around the Internet which proves useful.

There are a few AirArms specific groups on facebook, might be worth joining a few and asking on there?

Searching Google images by rifle name usually comes up trumps with diagrams, parts lists, and usually pictures of the rifle in bits far quicker than just a standard Google search

If all else fails AirArms themselves are usually quite helpful with hints and tips

take lots of pictures of the trigger as you take it apart and note how it comes apart and will go back together. I took my Khamsin apart to service easily , then spent a couple of weeks figuring out how to put the trigger back together. The sear will fit in 2 ways , only one is the correct way! There was a strip done in Airgun World I think which is available if you google it.

If you get stuck drop me a pm I can talk you through the rebuild. Strip it completely they get filthy inside. Replace the spring and piston o ring. Maybe the ratchet o ring if it’s a post 84 model and consider replacing the plastic piston liner with some 1mm ptfe. Test the tap by dry firing with the tap in the loading position hth

Yours is lovely, Neil.


And over the years I have been fortunate enough to try some other examples at previous Boinger Bash events, mainly belonging to Les Allam and Transporter. Lovely, the lot of them.


Hope you get sorted, Manxi.


P.S....If you weren't going to work on it yourself, I wonder if Lyn Lewington (Venoman on the BBS) could service it for you?

Or, taking Clipper's input a little further, would Air Arms themselves undertake a service on one of these lovely classics?

Which model have you got?

I have sent a couple of documents to your email in your profile .. I hope they help. I remember stripping an EX88 and an.other many years ago and they were not too difficult. Just take notes / photos of the trigger to help re-assembly.

Cheers, Phil
