Thanks, guys.Jeff, I got the grips here:https://www.formgriffe.de/en/They fit perfectly and are nicely made.Haven't had much time but did run some over the chrony. Showing the standard length barrel for comparison (one of the older models a few years back)...You will do a bit better at lower elevation with the thicker air, but... at four pumps you might reach the limit for the pressure relief valve.Wyo

A bit pricy but they look good and I like the feel of wood in my hand much better than plastic or rubber any day. Maxarmory shows my pistol shipped 5 days ago, but Fla post office shows package acceptance pending. I just emailed Maxarmory and they think it simply was not scanned and it should be here this week, hope so.
Shot a couple groups the other night (using 2 pumps)..10-shot groups from 10m, rested:Nothing horrible and it looks like it has potential, so I'm willing to call this a promising start.Wyo
Well it finally showed up early this afternoon. USPS tracking said it was delivered to an individual and signed for by J King, I am J King and did not sign for anything, it was simply left on our front porch.I applied a few drops of oil to the hole as shown, waited a few minutes then took it out for a few shots, I was using some newer pellets, cannot remember the brand right now but .177 made like the old Beeman silver jet, and they are too tight to use easliy so will try something else in a day or so when it cools off some outside. I see I need to build up some muscles, for pumping this thing, two pumps is stiff, 3 rather hard and did not try 4, so for the time being it will probably be a 2 pumper for me, good enough for close range targets. The light was just right from behind me and shooting at a flat black target, so I could see the pellet in it's brief flight, even with the 3 pumps. Trigger seems nice. I wish the owners manual were printed in a larger darker font, it's hard for these old eyes to read, even after cataract surgery a couple of months ago. I had progressive lenses made, mostly for the distance I work at, and some more powerful dollar store readers will probably make the manual ok, just have to round them up.
I understand that about the instructions not easy to comprehend. I spent two years in Turkey back in the early 70's while the USAF, and some of their logic was difficult to comprehend. I suspect it carried over in translations.I will pop the right grip off and look at the innards and put some synthetic grease on moving contacts. Any other suggestions.
What pellets did you use in those two groupings, and what sort of FPE are you obtaining?
