Nice save, Kessler's and Rochester's are among my favorites. I have a standard Kessler that shoots RWS Superpoints in the 690 range with 10 pumps. I think part of the reason for lower velocities is reusing springs that were heated up when breaking old valve solder during resealing.

Well I’m happy it held air overnite.
You might be right about springs Jon, but I didn’t use any heat during disassembly.
My model A I blame on headspace. The Mac1 flattop just doesn’t fit the domed valve face like an original cup would but I’m glad I saved that for the model C.
And the model C I could probably adjust the pump rod another 1/8 turn top & bottom but they are so close to maxed out & still not bottoming out.

Timothy
Can you give me the serial numbers stamped on the pump lever of your new model C please.
I have been collecting Kessler serials trying to refine the timeline on when they were made.
The model C has two variants.
Thanks

Yup
I thought so a late Model C variant 2. Made toward the end of production!

that must be why I see such a deference in build quality … 1 low serial number & 1 high number.
Both of these were my oldest pending projects. Glad they are done.
