New member 410 Carbine

Hi everyone.
Most forums don’t like first posts being for help, so here’s a bit about me first. I live in Northumberland now but was in Kent for a long time. Getting back into shooting now, slowly, and have been to a local club. I will be plinking on the range and hopefully a bit of ratting / rabbitting once I am confident of my abilities.
Now for the help request...
I have got myself a 410 Carbine. Made in 2000 according to the serial number and AirArms. It was extremely cheap as it is in very poor condition.
To give you an idea of its life the barrel O ring has gone missing, so a previous owner has nipped the barrel band up in a vice to touch the barrel. Nice!
It also leaks. A lot. I have a seal kit. As well as the barrel band I will need a magazine and moderator. I will be fitting a Weihrauch by making a suitable tube in my small lathe and cutting a thread onto it, then using bearing lock to fix that to the tip of the barrel.
First job over winter though is strip, clean, new seals and parts as needed.
I’ve worked on springers and CO2 but this is my first time inside a PCP.
I have been looking for a strip down guide everywhere but cannot find one. I found a few for various tasks but not a start to finish strip and re-assemble. I’m sure there must be one somewhere so if anyone can assist that would be great.
Many thanks for having me.
