Don't know alot about RT's but here's a link http://store.airgun.com/acb/showdetl.cfm?&DID=17&Product_ID=240&CATID=15 to the breakdown on Retro's, maybe it will help? I'd try a couple of searches here and see what comes up. If it was me I would just oil it, gas it up and see how it does. Also if it was me tho, it would work at home and then o-rings would start leaking like crazy when I got to the field and played! Good luck:D

put a few drops of oil in your ASA and air it up. if it leaks just replace all the orings/seals(just to be safe)in it and air it up again.

My classic mag set for a little over 3 years and all I did was add some oil into the "OIR HERE" holes on my AIR valve and a few drops into the ASA. The gun worked great, if you have iny leaky o-rings try to oil them and re-install before replaceing them. Good Luck and have fun.
