Mares Cyrano Parts Diagram (Annotated)

Mares have not published an exploded parts diagram for the later models (Cyrano Evo and Cyrano HF), but I finally completed the one for the earlier gun as that drawing and a separate parts list have been around for some time. Dealers no doubt have a service drawing in the Mares repair manual for the guns, but it has yet to be shown on the Web.

The slider assembly 38 is actually the power regulator knob, but Mares have that name on their list. It is sometimes referred to as the cursor in older instruction documents. The rear seal 19 on the piston is a rubber cup seal shaped like a cone, in the early days with all metal pistons one of these seals faced forwards to act as a barrel wiper during the shot. These 3 seal pistons had more sliding friction, but they stopped the piston wobbling in the barrel during cocking with two opposite facing cone seals with an "O" ring in the middle creating the third seal.

Re: Mares Cyrano Parts Diagram (Annotated)

This is a relatively new metal piston that has seen little service as the gun it was removed from was a persistent leaker, but not through the piston. Pistons were changed to plastic to save money and reduce barrel corrosion if lazy owners forget to rinse out their guns after use. Plastic pistons, if sand embeds, can wear your gun's inner barrel out and the change may have been a plot to increase gun turnover and sales, but today you can get nothing else and the shock absorber anvils have also been made of plastic which would soon be demolished by a metal piston.

Look and ye shall find. With a bit of keyhole surgery I pieced this diagram together from an Italian site as the image was not able to be saved, but it could be done in segments, like a jigsaw of small blocks.

Re: Mares Cyrano Parts Diagram (Annotated)

Here I have annotated the drawing for the "Cyrano Evo" and added some more part names where possible. Part 40 is a mystery for now.

Re: Mares Cyrano Parts Diagram (Annotated)

This looks like the round tank version of the "Cyrano Evo" and bar the cylindrical tank and the larger plastic nose cone/front bulkhead it should be virtually identical in the parts layout to the HF model.

This is the instruction sheet that is supplied with the Mares Spiro reel (part 60) that comes in 65 and 87 sizes.

Re: Mares Cyrano Parts Diagram (Annotated)

Here are the part numbers for the Cyrano Evo HF. They have been added to the diagram in the second attachment. Some parts are only available as assemblies and are indicated by a kit number such as the line release which consists of a lever, a biasing wire leg spring and the grub screw that serves as the lever pivot pin.
