There's no grove for a scope , just open sights Any good for your collection , if you haven't got one Atb Dave Hi Dave It sounds like a mk1, It should have a tapered barrel too, It was the only Airsporter not to have scope dovetails, The mk2 had four short pressed out ones and a special set of mounts is needed... How much do you want for it please? Cheers, John 1 Quote Link to post

I've fettled n grinded all sorts, the tophat was swollen so I've ground that a bit with the Dremel and sunk the piston rings slightly! i took the pellet loader out too and gave the barrel a few pull throughs.... this was a right pain cos the spring got stuck in the piston outlet! solved with a doctored wall tie gave the right places a bit of molying and its putting out around the 10ftp which is pretty good considering the state it was in did a bit of testing and it didn't like the aa's so tried some accupell that were kicking about didn't do too much testing cos it nearly defend me me ears still wringing aa left accupell right atb si ps... if you fancy a challenge i was thinking if i buy and try for a bit of good deed discount, i could pick up an old classic from pickering and you give it the mac makeover it would be a good raffle prize for si and daveys summer bash?! 2 Quote Link to post
