Hey guys, I have an old rws 34
I bought like 25 years ago at a Cabela's close out and it needs repairs.
I tried to use the cleaning pellets and must have done it wrong as they got stuck in the barrel and wouldn't come out.
Used a wood dowel to try to push them out and it broke and pieces also got stuck
Coworker of my dad's back then was a part time gun smith or worked on guns. He tried to get it out and said it was basically jammed in their good and I think he ruined the rifling and crown.
So basically it has sat for like 20 years.
Dad now was asking about airguns as he had squirrels causing problems and with neighbors a bit closer than years ago he doesn't want to use a .22 rifle due to location of the squirrel trees.
He was asking about airguns and a good pumper is like 250 bucks(dragon fly) or even used Benjamin and Sheridan classics are going for a good bit used.
I don't think he wants to mess with PCP and such, otherwise I'd let him use my old talon I was getting setup with the reg so it finally shoots constantly(though it lost power to about 20ft lbs)
So I thought maybe get the old rws 34 working, simple and should take tree rats out at 20 yds or so.
With my track record, I don't want to tackle this myself with the limited time I'll have at home visiting.
So who would you send something like this to?
Will need a new barrel, probably new seals etc and also new front and read sight as they are broken And he won't want to mess with buying a scope and mout system for springers .
Thanks
