Sorry if I posted in the wrong forum. Just having a hard time finding anyone but such and such *Insert Company Here*
That's all fine. But I am looking for other sources. As more is better.
So share some links.
I also need help on having a custom piston seal made for an air rifle. Or any DIY knowledge.
This one has stumped me for some time now.
Hoping some of the experienced guys would chime in with some knowledge.
I am not adverse to making something.
Or even hiring out a legit air gun mechanic if I fear stepping out of my skill level.

Budget Hatsan Zada. No plans in the works now. Mine is new from box and shoots well.
Just want a spare spring and piston seal.
And trying to find a piston seal is becoming a real nightmare. Even Hatsan does not have the Zada size.
May have to make something. Much prefer modern synthetic over leather.
At least springs and upgraded springs are available.

ARH has springs that will probably work. You are going to have to cut them to length, dress the ends and.make some guides.

If you know the gauge, pitch and length you need you can get it at Air Rifle Headquarters. You are going to have to figure it out for yourself what you need.

Some of these guys could probably suggest a spring that may work.

It's not like just changing to a "hotrod" spring. There's more to it than that.

Look up the Hatsan schematics. You can find them on their web page. If you have the schematic name and part number they will sell you a spring. They probably won't be able to discuss interchangeability. They probably don't know.

How does it shoot? Velocity? Accurate? Trigger? Does it kick and shake? What pellet shoots best? How can you make the rifle better?

by B.B.Pelletier Today, I'm going to do a fundamental report that I promised some time back. I'll show you how a spring-piston powerplant works. I'll also show you how to measure mainsprings so you can find replacements when yours wears out. We had a question yesterday morning from a blog reader...
