FB Record Jumbo

[bellringer]

Hi guys and gals happy New year to everyone. I'm looking for help with the proverbial needle in the haystack. I am looking for a breech seal and piston head for the said record jumbo. Posted on other forums, leads not replied to, sadly; so any help greatly appreciated.
Nice little pistol but the piston head looks pretty much impossible to make.
Cheers

When the firm closed after their fire, Drapers of Nottingham obtained all the spares (long ago) maybe some are left!. Mike.

Wow that's new info, thank you very much I will try them ASAP. Greatly appreciate the help. If I can get the gun working I will put photos and report on here.

Hi. Let me /us know if you ever find them. I've got a Jumbo that works but I'd like to have a spare seal or two. Thanks.

Finally managed to get enough parts to service the Jumbo, so that's a success, many thanks to the guys who supplied me with spares, but again thanks to the efforts of a member on another forum, I have been given contact details for the existing company dealing in things ''record''. I have sent a parts request and will keep everyone up to date with the progress.

I acquired a Jumbo recently which was suffering from a failed pistol seal. Not being very optimistic I’d find a replacement, I set about making the jigs to form oval leather seals. This has brought the pistol back to life and its now running at around 325 FPS - better than new!
