mark williams 7,568 Posted October 27, 2016 Report Share Posted October 27, 2016 She`s home lads. Feck me there`s a rocket in her pocket,- "powerful" I put a few pellets through her in the dark and saw a touch of dieseling - minute flashes that quickly settled down. I sent a few pellets to my fence line some 38 yards off using FAP`s and Hobby flat heads, - very quick and hard hitting .22`s. Look at the state of the old spring, piston seal (not leather) and breach seal. Here she is, all put back together and ready for the re-mounting and calibrating of the scope tomorrow. Just hope she settles down in the first few hundred pellets and gets leaded in well. Noticed the platted leather sling on her ? That has come off a FWB Sport of 40 years of age,- got it for a tenner £10 atb Mark. 4 Quote Link to post
