FB Record Jumbo

Post by bellringer » Sat Jan 12, 2019 7:35 pm

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.

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.

Who is this please, it would be useful to know.

Thanks.

I’m going off to go find myself. If I’m not back by the time I return, keep me here.

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!
