Air Rifle Headquarters has aftermarket springs and seals--reputation for high quality.  I have thus far used only Crosman Parts and my Phantom is a great shooter and the Crosman parts are cheap.  Great guns for the money IMO.

+1, and don't forget a spring compressor.

I'm curious how many shots you fired before your Crosman died? Any idea?

Thanks!

  Everyone gets varying mileage but my phantom went through 1500 or so shots before i felt it was broken in well and i'd found a good scope\pellet combo that gave me the accuracy i was looking for. I then gave it to my Dad, who has used it for the last 4 years for critter control. He has over 100 squirrels and also 8 raccoons( would not have been my choice for coons but seems to work for him) taken so far.. he lost count on the squirrels years ago after he hit 100. The rifle is still shooting fine and has to have well over 2000 rounds through it, probably closer to 3000. I expect it to double that shot count or close to it. Best of all, when it loses power or busts a spring, its inexpensive to repair and will be up and running again in no time.   J.

Can you please define "almost dead" Is it not cocking, shooting erratically, low fps???

Air Rifle headquarters is pretty much all I use when rebuilding a gun...
