Welcome Steven to the GTA!!! The bushings/washers you asked about are to replace the plastic one's in the pivot/break point of the barrel, you can find a diagram/exploded view of the gun on Crosmans site(or drop me a PM with your e-mail an I'll send it to you). You are lucky in that the XL does not need a compressor to open it up for working on(use the search feature an you will find a ton of info on tuning).
Welcome Steve. You've found a good website in GTA. Good people with good advice. Of course, take my advice with a grain of salt ;-)This video shows how to use the weed wacker pull through on a Trail (learned from American Airgunner TV)Most people recommend replacing the trigger. After around 1200 shots through mine, I agreed and replaced it with the GRT-III - much smoother action. The scope it comes with is good enough for me. I recommend you spend your money on different pellets from JSB, H&N, RWS or Beeman. Each gun is different. Mine likes the JSB Jumbo 14g so far, and I just ordered five new I can't wait to try. There will be a break-in period of 100-200 shots, and accuracy may vary until then. See this link for "What is the most accurate pellet you have found in your benjamin trail nitro piston in .22 caliber?"http://www.gatewaytoairguns.org/GTA/index.php/topic,25294.0/viewresults.htmlHave fun and be safe!

Quote from: Nate the airgunner on March 15, 2012, 11:52:20 PMHA! that my video lol. Starring my Benjamin Trail Pre-mod glad to see people know of my vidoes out there Thanks for the video, Nate. A question on the video...my weed wacker pull through gets caught on the crown. How did you get yours to be smooth? Roll it on a hard surface while the plastic is hot and soft? BTW, Honda has a 60% moly grease paste, part number 08734-0001 is a 3 oz tube. It costs around $10 or less online.
Does the regular NP break down the same way,or is a press needed?
