That is an unsual looking gun, found the breakdown if you need it.

I've never had one although the posts I have seen on these say they are fun. Not target guns, mind you, but good plinkers. And I have bought from Jim. He takes excellent care of his guns and his packing skills are amazing.

good enough for me. he did say that the sear was wearing down and needed to be cocked slow. no problem there and im sure it will be a great plinker. at 450fps w/hobbys there is not much else you can do with it. lol. and i have 4 full tins of them that im not using on anything.

i just did a google on them and it looks like it might be a rare gun(in the US) cause all the results where in a different tongue. he said it only does 450 but i think it will be a great 20rd plinker with a scope. and he did a tune on it and he also said its not your typical gamo &^^& trigger. its very nice. im really looking foward to getting it now and it looks like my other guns might get jelous. lol. and ill have something to use my dusty hobby pellets in

He really likes the little guns of that size and power level. And he's good at working on them and doing restorations. I think you got a good deal there.

MODEL 68, not 1968. I doubt it was made that long ago. Why not ask Jim what kind of seal it has.

You get it yet? If it IS from 1968 that makes it a year older than me! Looks like from other posts you have a nice range to shoot from so I am curious how it did.

he chose not to sell it because the sear was worse than he thought and you cant get parts for them anymore. he wants to keep his rep up as a tuner but can respect that

Told you he's an OK guy. Had a fellow sell me an old Haenel Model I, kind of a kid's or small break barrel from 1928 to go with my bigger Haenel Model III from the same year. Gun looked pretty good in the pix considering the age. When I got it, first round went off almost before I was taking a sight. Very, very light trigger. Second shot I aimed, withdrew my trigger finger and tapped on the side of the stock. Whap! Third pellet, I was just bringing the sites down onto target when it shot, hitting the cement about three feet up. (Basement range.) Obviously, the sear was shot. I emailed him about it and he said, well, since he shot target guns so much, he thought the trigger was fine. Now I have a nice tomato stake if I can't repair it. Lots of parts for an 80+ year old gun, ya think? Jim did you a favor.
BTW, these do come up from time to time. Just keep an eye out for them. If I see one, I'll give you a pm.

El Gamo 68 .177 was my first pellet gun and the most accurate airgun I ever had. I used to stand offhand at about 15 yds and cut wasps in half mid air, without scope and I could put 9 out 10 pellets through the same hole at about 20 yds from kneeling position. I had it for over 10 years.
