Got to be one of the darndest things I've ever seen. Never in a million years, would I have thought that someone would put the hammer in front of the valve. Worst part is, whoever it was, wasn't smart enough to figure out why it wouldn't work. Kinda scary, when you think about it.
I felt like my parents were the richest on my block, when I got my Sheridan. Soon, another guy got a Crosman pumper. I guess I was still rich since I only shot pellets in mine & he shot BB's, nails, & rocks !!! Mine is still going, but I will be his is not.
