Very instructive video. I have a 54 and assume the method would be the same. Really nice spring compressor. I haven't delved into taking them apart this gives me confidence I could do it readily if needed.
BY THE WAY, THE VERY LAST SCENE OF THE VIDEO AFTER INSTALLING STOCK, HE COCKED IT AND
APPEARED TO DRY FIRE IT!!!!!
I assume they didn't show him put the pellet in it but if not
?
What do you think? Did I miss something?

I have read (I don't remember where) when you replace the piston seal you dry fire it to completely seal the seal to the chamber...Maybe not..

It did not appear that any lube/moly/grease was used?
8 minute rebuild, impressive.

No lube. No inspection. No burr cleanup. Looked like factory warranty maintenance, not tune work. Helps explain why a tune helps so much.

Regarding critiques of the video.
My comment about the video is restricted to the apparent dry fire. I made the assumption that this was a demonstration of how maintenance steps should be done not an actual rebuild or build out of a rifle. To that end, keeping things clean and neat would be more a priority than adding the grease and other goodies to the video. Having never torn down an air rifle, I was happy to see the sequence of events.
I was just really surprised to see the apparent dry fire in ANY case as it could have been damaging to even a demonstration rifle.
I'll let the real experts say whether it was useful and, if I ever have to do such a job myself, I will certainly view it along with other rebuild videos to get tips!!
Cheers

thank you for the link. I have torn mine down twice already, however nice to have this to see where I may have done it the hard way.
