I cut an 1/8th inch thick strip of rubber and wrapped it inside a jubilee clip - tightened it gently around the cylinder body - carefully tightened a vice on the upright cylinders nut - and used a wrench on the jubilee clip.
I've done several BUT use care - don't bully it.

But for a long barrel pistol or, in my case a prone rifle where the emphasis is on maximum clarity of foresight a) how does your advice work and b) how do you maximise rearsight/diaphra...

Just picked up on this thread and speaking from across the pond a couple of points surprise me. 1. I'd go along with PaulB - a lot of discussion about safe cylinders ( I use an FWB Model 2 so it is the lower pressure Co2) but I cannot recollect any specific instances of failure. Don't get me wrong, ...

I bought an 80 and a 90 about a year ago and they generally go for anything from Circa 150 euros to Circa 350 euros on e-gun. Lots on e-gun.
