Hobbiests or Smiths to fix Air pistols?

[BSA.308]

Good day all,

My dad and brother each have different air pistols with different problems. One is a break action that won't ####, it just springs back, and the other is a pump action that you can pump all day, and it won't build any pressure. Anyone know of someone close to or in Nova Scotia that tinkers with air guns?
If not, I'll take any names and numbers you may have.

Thanks for your input,

Sounds like the first one you mention has a worn sear. May need a replacement part. It could also be a broken main spring. Second one sounds like the valve may be stuck open. That only needs to be disassembled and lubed/seals replaced. When you pump the gun, hold the barrel near your ear. If you hear air coming out then the valve is stuck. If you don't hear air, then the pump could be worn or dried out.

Thanks IDKJ - I'll give them both a try and let you know

Stuck valve - broken sear - thanks a million - or at least the 4 or 5 dollars Dad said it took to fix it.

Sincerley,
