I just acquired an older Beeman P1 (San Rafeal) Serial number is in the 3034xx range. My understanding is that the breach seal on the older ones is a different size from the others with serial numbers above 310000. I have searched the internet and haven't been able to find the answers to these questions.
1. Does anyone know the correct size Breach Seal for these older pistols? If I understand correctly the size for the newer pistols is #009.
2. Has anyone had any experience with Custom Air Seals of Australia Piston Seal for this model? This is a Parachute Moly impregnated design seal instead of the Teflon factory seal.
3. Has anyone used a main spring other than factory, and if so, what was your opinion of that spring?
This pistol appeared to be very little used. The grease in the compression tube was pretty much dried up, so I didn't even try to shoot it, just stripped it down for a deep clean.
The original spring appeared to be perfectly straight, but only 8.25 inches long, with 31 coils. Does this seem short for a worn in mainspring, or should I just use it as is?
