	Hi Paul, Just found out it's a Relum Tornado. after 30 or so years lol. might still be able to get parts for it! yes the leather seal is in poor condition. I guess replace that first and see. had sucked a bunch of lead into the air chamber. Yeah research on springer's has consumed me this past week. would love an HW95 going off reviews. I see theres a .177 version on trademe not far from me. Not so sure on the smaller pellet? ideal gun is accurate as I'd want to headshot rabbit at 50m and strong enough to drop a possum. I'm sure any of the bigger weirauch would be up to the task. HW77 or 80 pref? Id pref spend a bit more on quality than have sub par equipment that wont last. Cheers, will google these cometa next.. I see theres a Fusion on trademe. The Relum shot 7 possum out of the rafters at a previous property. Kinda cruel tho. Eye shot worked best.

	Gday Mark, welcome aboard the forum. Loss of power in a springer is usually either the spring breaking, or the seal. What is the gun? Depending on your budget, Weihrauch have a good range of nicely engineered springers and there seem to be a few popping up on trademe. Cometa Fenix is another resonably priced gun to look out for too. Look forward to hearing more. Paul.

	Hey all, Good to see theres forums still alive! Joined up to get some assistance rebuilding my childhood .22 under lever slug gun. Lost power and has a retrofitted air spring. I'll start a post on that. In the mean time should probably go buy a replacement. I have a bunny and rat problem on my 2.5acre back yard and dont mind sitting up on the shed roof picking them off or going for a walk. Get the odd possum or magpie hanging around. Am lacking a FAL for now. Just keen to get a capable springer again to keep the pest numbers down. Researching options at the mo Cheers, Mark
