I've been wanting a 397 for several years. Changed my mind and went for a 392, and got it a couple of weeks ago. It may not be a tack driver at fifteen yards, but if I miss a rat, it's not the gun's fault. Have been shooting it in, and it gets better every time...love this old school rifle!!!

Can you post a pic? Just curious if it's the one with the "P" style trigger group?

Now that I've had mine for a few months and have over a thousand rounds thru it, I gotta say...what a sweet shootin' rifle this is! I've read the criticisms about the trigger, yada yada, but mine, right out of the box, had a straight, smooth, clean trigger...also EXTREMELY accurate in my fifteen yard backyard range. I installed the Williams 5D sight on it, and that's made a huge difference too!!!

Vance,
Did you have to clean any overspray from the muzzle for it to shoot well?

I see you have the factory rear sight on it. If you check the 392 mod postings, one of the recommendations is to pull off the rear sight because it can cause the barrel to separate from the pump tube. The rear sight is held on with spring tension, so the way to remove it is to tap it off with a wood drift and a hammer.

Very nice looking 392. That was my first choice when I got back into airgunning last year.
Still can’t believe how accurate it is once I got the paint overspray out of the muzzle end of the bbl.
Good luck with yours. I like the scope and sling you have on it!
