That looks great.  What all did he do to it?  Cost? (if you don't mind)

Oh, WOW... you were right: It looks great!

Did you get the steroid treatment?    Yes

What all did he do to it?  Cost? (if you don't mind)  A little over $300.00 I ordered some pellets which put over 300.
Steroid with billet lever IA scope mount about $54.00 and GenII break about $85.00 so subtract the mount and break.

I can't wait to hear how that GENII brake works.  I'm hoping I can make it out Ione on Sun.

i'm jealous too!!


My Dad showed here out of the Blue last week without letting any one know he was headed east, so I couldn't tell him to bring my airguns out with him...on the list are a Sheridan 5mm and a little CO2 Bolt action from Crosman that I haven't looked at in so long I can't remember what model it is..

I keep coming back to look at that pic... that's going to be redonkulous.

We can't lie, either: Knowing Tim, he probably couldn't help but massage the insides a little, too, so your baby will run smooth like a V12 limo... can't wait to see accuracy and grouping...

I wonder how effective the brake is with 14 pumps?
Didn't know that the front sight would be slid back that far.
You must be dizzy to post pic's in the wrong gate! LOL
Sure does look nice!

Look on Tim's site.  the front sight is moved back and the break is glued on.

Just wanted to poke a little fun at the UK gate expense.  just wanted them to see what vintage American guns looks like with a little updating.   More power More power Scotty ;D
