It seems very strange to me that i can seem to get a schematic for most real steel pistols and rifles however .... schematics for pellet and bb replicas seem to be guarded like they are etched in gold by the manufacturers ....
some even print the schematic on the box or give a schematic with the weapon but you just try and find it online ... take the Lee Enfield .... I can get you all kinds of drawings, schematics anything you like on this iconic weapon, but there isnt a schematic for the co2 version ANYWHERE. i even messaged the distributors but as usual .... No reply.
You'd have thought that the makers of these things would had realised by now that there is money to be made by selling the spare parts for their products,
The most helpful manufactuere i have found so far is G&G, i needed a mag release spring for my Kar 98 after i damaged the one in it when i stripped it down to age it ..... i tried a lots of places in the uk to get one ...few replied and most didnt .... I e-mailed G&G direct and not only did they sell me one but they sent TWO as a good will gesture and said they are more than happy to supply parts for their products.
I keep looking for schematics as i like to look at how these things are put together so will keep going and post up any that i come across

In theory, airsoft guns have better spares availability and there are schematics about, but in practise stuff is out of stock and has been for ages. Dealers in the far east seem to have tons of spares so I'm not sure why the situation is difficult over here. I've ordered bits from Samoon and Bunny Workshop and the service is great but carriage and duty (if it gets picked up) can push the cost up. Attachments:

The after sales spares market is astoundingly bad when it comes to .177/4.5mm (& .22/5.5mm) airgun replicas and even just basic things like schematics seem to be incredibly hard to find. The AS world do seem to have a better system in place when it comes to spares but in truth I feel that has more to do with the higher volume of sales that AS replicas have as compared to our 4.5mm/5.5mm replica sales.
I, and I'm sure a good few other members, really appreciate the amount of work you've already put in to amass the schematic database that we are lucky enough to have here on this forum.
