I've just checked again and I used "bsf 65 airguns". Your gun must be well low of grunt and will need a full strip and tune. It should be easy enough. I would suggest finding and ordering a new washer and spring as these are the minium it'll need. Both the leather piston washer & breech washer will need a soaking in special HMP oil to absorb it so as it swells. Well within the scope of DIY. Any gunsmith will be able to sort it of course at extra expense, but still cheaper than buying another gun. It all depends how you feel about the gun if you want to spend time on it. Man made pistion washers/seals started appearing in the 70's. Good luck with it and let us know how you get on.
