Dating a Slavia 630

Finding piston seals for the 630 has been a pita. Taking a chance and ordered an after market one from Poland.
I've also been experimenting with mainsprings, turns out the mainspring from the B3 family of Chinese rifles fits though the accuracy seems to suffer a little. I've got a Titan XS #11 ordered that I hope will spruce up the performance a little. I have fitted a Titan XS #11 to my WF600 (aka B3-4) and although it didn't do anything for the velocity it makes the rifle much smoother to shoot and more accurate. I will also be experimenting with slip washers in both rifles. Turns out I didn't need a spring compressor for the 630, the stock spring is just lightly preloaded and easily held when screwing off the end cap assembly. Stuffing a bigger spring back in takes a little more effort but is still do able without a compressor. The WF600, on the other hand, did need a compressor to comfortably swap springs.

Sorry for that sacrilege.
