BSA piston seals are prone to burning at higher power levels, and generally power loss experienced is not due to spring or strut but the poor grade piston seals.[ may look good to the eye,don't be fooled] I have three superstars and three supersport/lightings [yes very greedy I know] In all three calibres. All have suffered with power loss in each gun and eventually replaced piston seals with Terry Robs excellent ptfe seals. Highly recommended have not found any better in forty years.<br /> Terry Rob is based in Essex England a quick search will bring up his web site, if you are worried about postage from UK etc I would be happy to contact Terry on your behalf and post them to you myself, I can be contacted at manninmann001@yahoo.com<br />Kind Regards Dave.soleleathernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2378835029459742413.post-3877264081806225772017-11-16T06:12:06.695-08:002017-11-16T06:12:06.695-08:00Hi thanks for replying

It's reassessed on the underside of the rotary breach in a hole but it is not sprung which I thought it would be. I thought it might be out of sight on your photos as where it is on mine is not shown on your photos <br />Regards Dave Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01721789646872347154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2378835029459742413.post-19068295284502600352017-11-15T09:20:48.578-08:002017-11-15T09:20:48.578-08:00Which ball bearing?

I have been rebuilding/restoring a super star I have nearly replaced all the internal parts except for the piston body and the rotary breach but I still have a intermittent power difference between 6ftlbs and 10.5 2 shots at 10.5 out of 10 the rest at 6ish. The only thing I think it might be is the rotary breach which looks fine except for the ball bearing it looks like it is pushed in and not protruding. Please could you tell me if yours was like this. By the way all seals are new.<br />Thanks in advance Dave davekb123@gmail.com Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2378835029459742413.post-47738799951398380272016-07-25T16:54:26.429-07:002016-07-25T16:54:26.429-07:00Glad I saved your marriage!

Fitting the sear was the worst part as it requires you to offer up the sear blindly into the mount against the pressure of the sear spring. A final note to say that one of the pivot pins is longer than the other 2 and must not be fitted as the trigger pivot because like me you will find that you can't refit the stock which of course means disassembling the trigger mechanism because sure as eggs when you try to swap pins over the others will fall out. I have never cursed so much before.<br /><br />However, thanks for your blog it saved my marrage.<br /><br />Best Regards<br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
