jam1e Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 Cracking gun! I had one from new around 1989. Not sure what ever happened to it..... For a springer, it shot really well and was accurate enough. I couldn't quite afford the Khamsin, with a thumb-hole stock. To my shame, i also had the Air Arms "Jackal High Power". I loved it at the time, as it looked like the SLR. You were lucky to get that! Should clean up nicely, and plenty enough power for rats.

evo Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 that will be a little beauty once its restored, when putting it together just use the tiniest of silicone grease on any moving parts just enough to put a very thin film on the metal,do not cake it in the stuff but leave the piston, it will shoot superb once rebuilt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ditchman Posted September 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 right i have figured out where everything goes 'cept one small fat "o" ring....i think it comes from the trigger mechanism as a rebound rubber...I THINK... anybody with any ideas ?

UKPoacher Posted September 8, 2016 Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 Put enough silicone grease on the spring just to evenly coat it all over and even less on the moving parts. A 'smidgen' is the correct term. Don't use anything inflammable inside the chamber or the gun will ignite it by compression, commonly called 'dieseling'. Your local gun shop or online retailer will supply the correct lubrication for the trigger assembly. Looks like a nice project and well worth the effort.

ditchman Posted September 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 do i lubricate the o ring and piston with silicon grease.............?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ditchman Posted September 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 just checking all the bits are there after cleaning / stripping.... WHERE THE HELL DOES THIS DAMN "O" RING GO...??...checked the Chambers diagram..it does show it in the trogger block as "buffer" but unclear as to exactly where Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manthing Posted September 8, 2016 Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 do i lubricate the o ring and piston with silicon grease.............?? Behind the piston o ring and back end of the piston with molybdenum, wipe on wipe off. Can't help with the other o ring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKPoacher Posted September 8, 2016 Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 I'm not familiar with that model, but I would think that the 'O' ring would fit inside the cylinder at the barrel end. Regards the grease, the moving / touching surfaces will require a light film of grease, so the piston seal and any bushes (can't see any) plus the cocking mechanism will need some light greasing. I don't do triggers so can't advise on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ditchman Posted September 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 (edited) right ordered up the special grease and powders..........so they will arrive 2 moz........... so if it fires good i will be looking for a better scope than the one i have at the moment............ still trying to find out where that o ring goes.......in the trigger assembly Edited September 8, 2016 by ditchman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazzashadow Posted September 8, 2016 Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 is it the seal for the pellet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ditchman Posted September 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 is it the seal for the pellet? no....on the chambers website diagram...it shows it is placed in the trigger assembly and termed as buffer.............. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno22rf Posted September 8, 2016 Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 Doesn't look like it's from the trigger - it's come from the anti bear trap device. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
