Re: AA side lever

I just looked through the link you sent me BBF and you're right I think, as the model I have has a brass trigger and no opens and I'm wondering if it was a maple stocked version, as it is so blonde? Right , can anyone advise springs, seals and strip down-ology?

Re: AA side lever

Unfortunately not as I'm already booked to go away with my wife that weekend. I'll bring it along to the next bash I attend though. By the way, the offer of a small donation to the coffers for the charity still stands, let me know how to pay.

Re: AA side lever

BBF, thanks for the info'. You may recall the rifle, as you had your photo taken with it for the mag' article (the blonde stocked one). I had some useful info' from Air Arms in the shape of exploded diagrams and original Pt No's. I'll see how I can share it if anyone's interested.

Re: AA side lever

At the moment, I'm just looking for service parts (spring and piston seal). It's fully functional, just a bit low on power (unless anyone advises otherwise). However, I would welcome any methodology any of you guys have employed to strip these old side levers down.

AA side lever

Good evening. I was wondering if anyone has any tips for a stripdown on an SE90? I bought her about a year ago and apart from replacing a lost trigger pin, I've not had her apart. The shot cycle is very nice, but a bit low, as the best I've got out of her is 9.5fpe with JSB exact 5.52mm. I'm pretty ...
