That shouldn't be to hard to make.
It is part mum 1217.0 of you want to try and order one from vaughans.
I imagine it's not particually heavy spring. Might get away with making it out of thin mild steel wire and heat treating it. (heat it till metal starts to tinge blue and drop it old car oil to cool)

Is that part number 1217 your talking about?
Looks like you can get a gas piston for it as well.

Yea, was going to suggest custom seals in Australia. Of late, TinBum Tuning has put out a video on spring kits for some versions of Gamo's and they are selling good quality springs too, so it may be worth checking them out or even contacting Nick Stanning of TBT.

Some picture of the gun might yeild some good advice from others that might know it too.

Welcome from Taranaki.

I look forward to hearing what others think of early Gamo, the later models get a hard time.
I think they are all "harsh to operate" and if you have to invest in anything more than a seal it can be for little reward.

Chinese airgun with a reasonable trigger can do good work at targets and pest control.

Look forward to some pictures and interesting conversations.

Custom Seals Australia have some great kits.
Youngs Airgun Centre in Auckland almost always able to help.
NZ Gamo contact is Vaughan Sports.

Yep earlier ones were leather.
There's ppl here that are way more onto it than me.
But look up polishing a air gun cylinder. Polishing trigger. Polishing piston.
Crosman cylinder oil. What oils you can't use. Moly grease.
Can't help with spring.
Hopefully some with more knowledge will get back to you within a couple of days. But that should start heading you in right direction.
If you don't know the artillery hold principles look that up too, and why air gunners use it.
Right I'm off to try this sig out in the field.
