Looking for assistance on a Air Rifle

Hello fellow members,
I was searching to find a repair shop or an expert to get information and a source for parts for my out of service Air rifle. I am new to this sight and wanted to introduce myself. I have a imported FWB that needs a complete service to get it working again. Any help would greatly be appreciated.
Thanks

Welcome to GTA, Tony!
See the link below for our "Tuner" forum section....I am guessing from your post that a tune is what you are looking for.
(If it's for a FWB124, they had synthetic seals which were "new" for the time period, and they did not hold up well over time. When I bought my first FWB, it gave out within a couple of weeks.)
Good luck!

It is the piston seal that went bad. It will not fire a pellet.
I have not shot it in years and have recently wanted to get back in to shooting it again.
Thank you for your kind words and welcoming me to the forum.

It appears to be a 124 model and they are quite easy to work on to replace the seal. Being it has set for awhile the original piston seals turn to crumbled marbles from age. I would get a complete rebuild/tune kit from ARH Jim Macarri for it.

Either one of these kit would be perfect and make it a nice shooter again. I would be willing to repair it for you if you are not comfortable doing it yourself.
