Tearing it down that far, you should look very hard at a new piston seal. You can deburr and clean any rough surfaces inside, especially in the compression tube...
I haven't ordered a replacement spring yet, I'll do some measuring and double check that the E3650 from Macari is correct.I disassembled everything today.Piston seal looks good. Not so sure about the spring though

Not so sure about the spring though Looks familiar try the 9870. It's a peach in my X20s. If you want a softer shooting and easier to cock rifle, the Merlin XL is a dandy with a little fitting. Get a new piston and breech seal too.
Rick, What's the ftpds with the 9870 spring? Also what kind of power can you get from the Merlin xl? I've got an old x20s do for a tune up. Thanks Don
Did you call Stoeger for a replacement?
