secretagentmole 1,701 Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 Leaks! They have a notorious reputation for leaking from the valve on the buddy bottle and every single O ring in the mechanism. Listen carefully. Quote Link to post
optelic2 48 Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 If its a mk1 i would avoid like the plague they leak like fook! Lad at a club i used to belong to had a mk1 and when he didnt have it in bits trying to find leaks (which was most of the time) is was an accurate rifle but they are just too unreliable imo.

Lewis Ste 245 Posted April 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 Haha thanks moley I had already found this one but didn't think it would tell me the age of the gun. I did what you said by keeping it pumped up I pumped it from about 100 bar to 200 and I can now say I'm nackered. Can't wait until my dad gets his divers bottle lol. I'm going to buy some accupells tomorrow and test the gun at a few different ranges and get used to the .22 flight path and hopefully bag some bunnies for my ferrets Thanks again for the help, lewis Quote Link to post
