Brewbear, In your search for the 150 series guns, there is one you want to grab if one ever shows up.The 150 series was made in two types; the first variation had the two piece breech and barrel, and was made from the introduction of the series in '54 into '56. The second variation with the one piece breech and barrel was made from '56 thru the end of production in '67. The first variation came in two types. Type 1 had the rotating adjustable power setting which was carried over from the bulk fill guns. Very few type 1's were made before being replaced by the type 2 which had the two stage pullout hi-low setting.Its been estimated that around 80% of the 150 series were 150's in.22 while about 20% were 157's in .177. The rare one to look for is a 157 first variation type 1. This is what they look like:
Both of mine shipped too, but they'll be here late next week, I guess the little horseys on the Pony express I mean USPS are tuckered out. I'm not in a big hurry, the kits from Baker will get here about the same time.
This one here I've probably shot more than all my others combined, this one cost me a whopping $60 shipped, best deal I ever got on one on ebay.

What variant of the 150 is mine?
brewbear, the ad also notes that 600 is leaking. The rebuild process for 600's is definitely DIY-able but lots more to it than for a 150.Don R.

The only way I can learn is by doing and as long as I have some directions (video preferably) I can muddle my way thru.
Maybe worth mentioning I am told the 600 has some parts that can be easily damaged and are no longer available. I plan on sending mine out to a "Pro".
