KEWL...sounds like a great day of stress relieveing fun. Would be for me anyway.
Be SURE to take lots of pictures and notes to share. Fire a few rounds just before starting to have a fresh idea of the results to compare.
Happy Shooting!!!!

Well, we got the guns apart and the spring on the Superstreak was broken in three places. No wonder Manny said it had lost power and was not as accurate as before. He said it has over 5,000 pellets through it so I guess it was time for a replacement spring.
Both seals were nicked up but the seal on the Superstreak was pretty bad.
So, both guns were deburred and lubed and we honed the compression tubes and installed new piston seals but the spring Manny got from J.M. for the Superstreak was the wrong one. The diameter was too large.
Does anyone know which of J.Maccari's springs fit the Superstreak?
I'm glad I finally got to meet Manny, he is one classy guy. He gave me a custom made hunting bow for helping him tune his guns and I got to shoot a couple of his PCPs.
Here is a shot of his beautiful MRod pistola.
