So not great then but not terrible!

 

Im thinking of stripping it and giving it a good polishing, relube and fit it with a top hat and guide. After iv had a play and see how it groups if I like it I may even buy a drop in kit for it.

 

cocking is nice and smooth and theres no twang but it would be nice to get it more consistent.

 

ill update with a bit more detail after a play incase anyone is interested.

The timber looks lovely pal and the groups should settle after a few more pellets.

Nice looking springer.

yes im very happy with it! the old owner only put 200 pellets through it so its got plenty of settling to do.

 

if I can get it shooting spot on I bet it would be a superb compact close range vermin gun and great to use from inside a vehicle too.

 

when i started unwrapping it I thaught it was in 2 pieces for transport! was shocked at how short it was.
