I'll be looking forward to your progress on this one. I've always preferred the pneumatic guns but this one is easily converted to HPA if you so desire. I haven't bought a used airgun in years myself but maybe this year at the show that's coming up soon.
Ah, ok. How about if, for the first session after restoration, I heat the Co2 tube with a hair drier to get it good & warm? Would that be better? Got 2nd & 3rd tin of better quality pellets coming in tomorrow & next week for site in/testing.
