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.

A BIG THANK YOU OFF ME AND PHIL SEAN CHEERS MATE

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

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!
