Hahaha

It's got me into gear too. I've got sidetracked with a beeman sportsman RS2 that never had a barrel, just put umarex .177 on it. Needs a few tweaks and it should be a keeper

I want a lathe 😞
And a drill press 😞
And a big ass bench grinder
And a HW100 and a the damm lotto numbers!
Walk quietly, but carry a big stick.

LOL The good thing for me about your $100 challenge has been that it's prompted me to finally start upgrading my 50 year old lathe and 20+ year old mill with the new tooling I've accumulated in recent years, and to use them a bit more than I would have done otherwise.....

That part (breech receiver?) is moulded plastic (polymer) with an O-ring to seal the cylinder and secured with two steel pins.  The barrel is also encased in plastic which incorporates the breech, although the breech seal is in the receiver portion and the steel barrel end closes against it.  Horrid setup!

I need a new seal - any suggestions?

Well been running around Web trying to find info but can't find much.
Seems to be in 600+ FPS
The only date refrances i found was a mention of a 2000 model and a serial number in pic that was 98 so 1998.
What has pipped my curiosity is the end of piston cylinder seem to have a removable end cap.
Not something I'm familiar with.
Be great for cylinder, port work for sure.
