Mine is Spanish. I can probably play with the trigger some, but I was thinking I'd seen mention of replacement triggers as well. I also was worried if the seals might have dried out, after years of no attention. No experience with airgun innards, so replacing seals or even knowing if they needed work is probably beyond what I'd be comfortable with. I'll try contacting OleTomcat, I'd seen him mentioned in some other posts as well. Appreciate all the help!
