Len - I gave you the link (http://www.airgunspares.com/store/product/8344/FWB-300S-Breech-Seal-Part-No.-FWB300BREECHSEAL/) for that breech seal at John Knibbs in the UK on your other intro thread.

I'm typing up an email to one of their guys as I also write this to you. I'll ask him when they expect to get them back in stock.

Will let you know what I hear back from them.

ARH usually stocks the breech and bumper kit.  Pyramyd Air use to stock under Air Venturi.  Guy on Ebay stocks OEM from Canada, and you can also order straight from FWB, which will entail a RFQ, then fax your credit info to them.

Here are some of the red seals from ARH, the red rockets,

The FWB and Air Venturis have been pretty much a straight install.  The Air Venturi seem fairly soft, jury is out on them.  The FWB light green are rather hard, almost plastic, first rifle I pulled down for someone after a couple years, the bumper had started a small hairline crack already on the edge.

The ARH bumper, the breech seal may require some sanding on the back side, as they tend to stand proud and make a hard lockup.  The material in the ARH is tough as nails and are my favorite.  The bumpers are flat faced,

The Air Venturi bumper is convex like the factory.
