I have a .22 Cal. Salvia Pellet Rifle given to me in about 1960 or so. You break down the barrel only once to charge the cylinder and it seems to have lost its compression. I took it to a local gun dealer and he was no help, didn't even offer any.

Anybody know of someone I could contact to fix it? Of course someone reputable as it's about 40 years old. Given to me when I was about 12 and I certainly don't wan't to lose it.

Thanks,

  Have you put gun oil in the pump? If you don't add a couple drops now and then the seals dry up. If you get in a pinch, send me the seals/o-rings and I'll try to match 'em up. I do a lot of work with hydraulic and pneumatic stuff and can find some pretty obscure seals. Add some oil, pump, and dry-fire it a couple times. Might solve your problem.

  if its like my old bb guns it probibly has lether cup seals if the oil dident help and you can take it apart "usually very easly done" then see if it has cup seals or orings if for some reason it has rubber cup seals you can also find thoes all over the place an old mom-n-pop's hardwair store would probibly have all 3 types of seals. dont be afraid to disasembel it most of the old ones are built for servising and no special tools are requierd i cant spell well but hope you get it shooting if this helps reply cj[:p]
