Hi all, this is my first post in any forum ever! Whilst clearing out my attic I came across my first ever airgun which I bought new in 1985 as a teenager from a shop in Manchester, the Crosman 2200 Magnum which (to my shame) I had forgotten about for many years. When I put my hands on this rifle again it reminded me why I started loving airguns all those years ago (all those memories of rat hunting in the woods came flooding back!). Long story short, this gun is in a sorry state. I did summon up the courage to dismantle it & attempt to give it a good clean & there doesn't seem to be anything damaged internally, it was a real pain in the arse to reassemble but I managed eventually with the help of a diagram from the Crosman website.
It was no surprise that it doesn't hold compression as the seals are almost as old as me but I would really love to bring this rifle back to life. I've managed to find a pump seal cup on Ebay as well as O-rings but I would also like to replace the receiver for a chrome one or something similar that looks nice. The icing on the cake would be a wooden stock but I've had no luck so far sourcing either of these.
If anybody has any advice or recommendations for me on renovating this rifle I would be eternally grateful!
