S200 cylinder leaking. Help please.

[Dave-H]

I'm pretty certain Alex at TAL Arms will have the tools to remove the end fitting, but as others have said it's a bu**er to remove first time. I tried with the proper tools and a B&D Workmate and suceeded in breakling the workmate without removing the filler end. Finally gave up, bought a new tube, an external Huma reg and a new filler with guage and that sorted it. Still have the old tube with the filler still firmly stuck.

If you want shot of the old tube I’ll take it off your hands ….

Thanks everyone for all the really helpful advice. I phoned round a few places localish to me and the bloke at Portsmouth Gun Centre said bring it in and he’d have a crack at it. Incredibly when I got there fully expecting to have to drop it off, and then to go back a few days later to collect it, making it a 80 mile round trip to drop and collect, as he was quiet he said he’d have a go there and then. 20 minutes later, job done! A fully sealed S200 cylinder. A good chat about his previous experience as an air arms trained technician and a look at some of his wares on the shelves and he only charged me £20 which I thought was an amazing bargain….. I know where I will be taking my business in the future. He said they are a fairly difficult thing to do but they have a big old engineers vice with lead lined jaws to as not to mark the cylinder and the right tools so it makes it a bit easier.
This may help people who need a reasonable priced repair and don’t want to attempt it themselves.

Thanks for the generous offer. Much appreciated. I’ve posted my good experience about getting it fixed at a different gunsmith.
Cheers.
