The washer between the 2 springs is a local hardware store #10 brass washer. You will be able to drop it in and it will sit in that lip. Dump it back out and drop the check valve, check valve, and washer in. Now, get a sharpie and you should be able to push down on the washer and feel it hit that lip. 1. Now, what kit did you use to reseal the rifle? If it was Mac1's kit did you make sure the "X" was facing up on the check valve? Second, did you seat the check valve with a wooden dowel and hammer? Drop check valve in, make sure "X" is up, slide down wooden dowel, give it a good thump with the hammer. This will give it a nice groove on the check valve. 2. Did you change the pump cup? Even if the cup looks good that's usually a big culprit. 3. Can you hear air coming straight out the barrel during pumping? 4. Is your check valve spring to strong that it's not giving to the force of the pumping effort?
Really sharp looking gun. What did you refinish the stock with? Looks like you polished the blueing off of the trigger guard? Won't it rust?Nice work!
Not nit picking because she really did turn out BEAUTIFUL!But I see the gap at the front of the pump arm. Is your linkage bent? mine was is the only reason I caught that on yours.Rick at Precision Pellet sells Repop replacement linkage assemblies for $15 if you need one.Mines fit and finish were like OEM Benjamin.
nitpicker
Kirk, do you like that antique oil finish better than Tru-oil? Sounds like it dries a lot faster. Did you do the "wet sand with the oil, then wipe off, and do it again later" method?
Great looking gun. Richard
