I think I broke it.... How to rebuild my G1???
Rocker1:
It looks like it still has that china grease in it, its really not hard to build just deburr all the sharp edges , I made me a washer and polished it and put it under the top hat. I am suprised the seal looks that good remember to polish the spring ends. We are all here if you have quiestions I am by no means a expert I have did several for myself and friends but there are some here that i do consider experts and Michael above has built plenty even if he got beat up by a b3 LOL!!!! thanks david

yea I've never taken the gun apart It had approximately 3500 shots through it. which I guess isn't bad. My build is including this as of now Apex Small Seal, New-Tarantula 33 coil XLV FP Spring, Pete's spring guide assembly, I also bought the Lube package deal because I will probobly be opening up my other springer in the future.
I was wondering what material would be the best to use as a washer for the barrel lockup? I've seen people use brass I believe. If anyone knows where to get them I'd appreciate it.
I read an article on pyramid air about lubing that was really helpful.

Hey Schmidt...that`s where I got my knowledge on home lubrication also....from Tom Gaylord`s 13 series blog. Nice small easy read. I read the whole series twice and attempted my first "take-apart" job over a year ago....everything went smooth. Had to change a spring that broke into 4 pieces in my Crosman Sierra Pro.

really hmm using a digital caliper measuring. I figured out if I bought 1/8 washers and the are actually .125" thick I'd have to make them .105" thick. So a 1/10" thick washer would be ideal. I'll have to bring my digital caliper with me to lowes. lol
But Is brass the ideal material to use here?
