Hi all, I only joined yesterday but I've already picked up some great info. I think I'm going to service my gun and I read that Julian hasn't been very well so I wondered if it's still ok to order spares from him.
Thanks, Mal

Due to the lock down he doesn’t have visitors and only sends spares out once or twice a week.
Please check his website for clarification

Morning all, I've changed nearly all the seals and cleaned everything so I'll be re-assembling soon. I just have a few questions. Firstly, apart from the loading bolt does anything else require any grease/oil? Secondly, apart from the screw in the loading bolt do any others need loctite? and finally for now, is it wise to change the seal on the gauge or should I leave well alone? Thanks in advance, Mal...

No, as you say just the bolt for a bit of grease, and the only loctite ive ever used was on the pot, when it fell apart, not anywhere else. A/A use enough bloody loctite on their rifles without adding any more

I always take the dog leg off and replace the seal as they always leak a soon as you fill up.
