Acvoke restoration 

With thanks to J (shadowryder on airgunforum.co.uk)

He said: "Have totally stripped my acvoke given everything a thorough clean and cold blued the casing/action of the pistol... I made a new T piece slider for the cocking action which now works fine and using A 5/8ths wad punch I punched out a rear seal from some hard rubber sheeting I had.

The piston seal was not a good fit but I found that by putting a thin o ring inside the skirt on the seal it pushed the seal out to give a good snug fit.
when I got the pistol it was doing less than 1fpe, now with my homemade breech seal and o ring modification I am getting 3.4 fpe which for a 1947 pistol is pretty good I think."
