What a wealth of information this place is

I have been lurking around this forum for a couple months and have recently decided to take the step of joining.

It all started back in the 60's, before I was born, when my dad purchased a Crosman 130. It traveled with us to Korea (I was very young then), and on to Taiwan. We dispatched many a large spider and palmetto bug (a large flying roach, big scary bug that would invade our home ;-). However, Taiwan came to a point when they did not want any airguns (Mid 70's or 80's ???) so my dad dismantled the 130 and turned it into a "bicycle/ball pump" and it made it way back to the US. That 130 never regained it former glory as a dispatcher of bugs, but several years back my dad came across this fine piece of our history and asked me if I wanted it. I could not turn it down and enjoyed a little bit of plinking now and then. However, by this time, the seals were showing their age and it did not have the crisp pop of its former days. I did a bit of searching, mid 90's, but could not find very much information and decided to leave it as is. That has all changed and now I would like to reseal this fine gun and see it regain its rightful place! So now I am in the process of acquiring the correct seal kit and embarking on this labor of love. Will try to get a picture up of this fine beauty shortly.

Thanks for the warm welcome. And, yes, I do ride a recumbent. Have a Rans V-Rex that is always fun to ride. Cut my teeth on a Vision that served me well, but wanted an upgrade. Slippery slope, these hobbies are!!  8)
