i repaired this one last month for an older fella that just had eye surgery….i suppose it didnt work well, and he asked me to come get his and sell it….i tried to get him to take and shoot the. david slade, or actually - steve pope across the pond (brittian).
i can only share my own personal hands-on, real-time expereince. those sun optics spring compressors work for that gun, but not longer magnums - same design as the old b-square spring compressors. and those guns are so awesome that most anyone else you get to do it, will wanna really do a good job (shoot it a bit, too). a fair price to pay someone for installing macarri parts would be $120-150 including good return shipping.

thanks to ray moody (.i hope he's still with us.) - he taught me for free and i'll do the same for you. anyway, if you have lotsa airguns and are somewhat mechanically inclined.you might consider learning. macarri has been the best source for me on those fwb 124 / 127 sporters. mainspring about that, and you'll need a breech seal. parts are more expensive for that gun, but i hear the air rifle headquaters guy LOVES those rifles.and you can tell when you goto his site.piston seal $30. i forgot, there's gonna be lots of crud lodged in the end where the piston seal slams the air out of that little hole behind the pellet (transfer port). i can teach you if you like - i resealed 3 of them since june.and everyone is right.the piston seals go to crumbs - usually an off white or creme color.o.

Perhaps this will add some encouragement, If you need some encouragement or help I would gladly help in assisting you but rather talk in person or by phone as I can say more in two minutes than I can type in two hours with these old not so nimble fingers!
If you do decide to send it out to Dave by all means ask for his trigger tune! Dave is known as the TriggerMan and knows these triggers. These are great guns and if you want a professionally tune rifle my number one person to send it to would be David Slade. What I described here is a simple home tune. Easy and fun gun to work on and of coarse there is a couple tricks to know that will simplify and safer to dismantle. A tune can be nothing more than kit install, lube tune, and a deburring. Personally if I'm to go inside these guns I usually drop in a kit. Pyramyd Air should have seals or what most the guys do is order from Air Gun Headquarters, new seals or complete kit. You will need to purchase a new piston seal. Original seals? Which is the usual culprit, they go bad and deteriorate and performs as you describe.
