Deker 3,495 Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 Spring or piston seal??? what do you mean by that im not too clued up on the workings of then ..your question is impossible to answer..when did you last use the gun/clean the gun..have you changed to a heavier pellet..how do you know its droping at 10 yards (whatever that is meant to mean) what power is it producing..oh yes..and how long is the piece of string....you are asking a technical question..to have any chance of getting a sensible answer you need to furnish the details!!!

Malt 379 Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 May be something as simple as your gun needing a dam good clean & re-lubrication. Have you been shooting it in dusty conditions? Quote Link to post
paddy.t 8 Posted June 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 Right... its a westlake .22 springer its s*itty but does (did) the job. im not sure what its kicking out was planing a trip to gun shop tomorro seen as i have the day off. not changed pellets in a while but will do, the ones i use are naff (marksman) at about 10yards i can see the pellet dip and hit the floor. i will either get a new spring in it, or invest in a new one Quote Link to post

Flippin ek..if you can SEE the pellet dip and hit the floor at 10 yards probably time for a new one! But I would suggest probably the piston seal, the spring would not often drop off to this extent! But a new spring at the same time as well as a good clean and service may well restore to .....wherever it used to be??? Quote Link to post

Gave it all a good clean ect.. but the breech seal was nackerd so air was probably escaping around it, might make a small first time project out of it, just tinker when i get cash for a new part. i know the only £30 new but like i say just a little project.
