Thanks for the replies chaps. By the time I got home and sorted things out, it was too late to ring round some other places. He said that the particular tool required to take the end cap off an s200 cylinder was a unique part that you can only buy from Air Arms and was very expensive and he didn’t have one as it wasn’t a repair carried out very often. Hence why he hadn’t shelled out for one. I will ring around some other places tomorrow. Winchester, TAL Arms Christchurch, Portsmouth GC and Lamberts in Ringwood. See what they have to say. Anyone have any experience of the gunsmiths in those particular towns I’ve mentioned? Thanks in advance.
Nemo.
