bigmac 97kt 13,732 Posted March 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2019 Got the parts today from Phil New spring new breach seal new piston seal took them over to seans (viz) where he set about fitting it as i had to go to work and i new the piston seal had to stand in a light oil for twelve hours and i wanted it done today so i can fit the action back together tomorrow night as i had a few mins to go i stayed and lent a hand while he fitted the piston seal right from the off the spacers were the wrong size so he had to use some of the old ones and make new ones to fit along with a new pin i went off to work and got a phone call later on to say it was done . went over to pick it up tonight and what a job he had done spot on Sean.

bigmac 97kt 13,732 Posted March 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2019 DID THE BITS AND BOBS EARLIER TODAY atvbjimmy Quote Link to post
philpot 4,927 Posted March 7, 2019 Report Share Posted March 7, 2019 Sean, as Jimmy has already said a big thank you from me matey, I am very grateful to you both. Jimmy knows I really appreciate the tremendous effort put into this little rifle and he explained via phone text what had to be done with the seals. You would think when you buy the actual part specified by the supplier, that it would actually bloody fit. Luckily, I had two good friends who were there to help me out and take charge of this work. Cheers boys Phil 1 Quote Link to post
vizlauk 1,568 Posted March 7, 2019 Report Share Posted March 7, 2019 No problem, bit of a pig to do, made a new bash pin, and correct washers to fit the piston seal, breach seal was a 2 second job. Quote Link to post

Cheers boys Phil That's what it's all about, helping each other, I should patent my design lol, it will help the power a bit , added a bit weight into the piston , and it's a very good fit!
