Hey! Just got old Model 66 chinese spring rifle and planning to do restoration, but does anyone knows where can I find any spare parts like spring, piston seal etc. Does any other better known guns has any parts that I can use in my rifle?

Depending on the age of the gun there's an excellent chance it uses a leather piston seal. A few drops of silicone oil may restore its functionality. Do NOT use any petroleum based oils, they WILL detonate!! Since old leather seals do crumble eventually you will find instructions for making a new one in the GTA Library.
If the spring is bad, measure the wire diameter, the outside diameter, and count the number of turns. You should be able to find something at Air Rifle Headquarters or through Vortek which is close.
Use caution during disassembly. You should use a spring compressor, especially if unfamiliar with the gun. Additionally, depending on age, the trigger assembly may not come out as a package but instead as a handful of pieces. Work on a white or light colored cloth to assist in retaining and locating any errant pieces.
