Well just got done some practicing 10 Meter
Boy do I not so good! & have a long way to go to get
back to my old self & punching those 48's out of 50 scores

Amazing what a heart attack, diabetes & failing eyes can do
to your scores ... lol

Thanks GTA for another great! gate

that is one fine air pistol you have there..

Is it a spring action air pistol, if it is what type, ie over/under lever.Rob

Bart
Yes I enjoy 10 meter shooting especially when the weather is cold outside ;-)

Thekid
It is a spring piston pistol that is a barrel cocker that operates of the "GISS" design
It has opposing pistons in it's belly that cancel each other out & effectively makes it totally recoilless
Thanks for the compliment

RF
Thank you for the compliment & yes I purchased this pistol along with my 48 work horse back when I was a young lad. The 48 was first then after saving all summer had to have the 6M before winter hit... LoL

If you haven't shot it in a while, you might take a look at your breech face and transfer port for signs of the piston seal breaking down.  That is, if the gun hasn't been resealed since you bought it.  The original seals on the Giss guns are notorious for this.  I have a 75 which needs new ones, myself.

Oh yeah! it has been reworked not once but twice in all the time
First go around was done by my late great shooting coach I had
in my early 20's
The last time reworked done just last year in October I think...LoL
It just started shooting GREAT again last month.
At first after the rebuild thought perhaps it was jacked up it shot so bad
but apparently it just needed good diet of good pellets & breakin again...rlol... phew!
Not to mention
I am just not what I use to be ;-)

God knows it's tough to start wearing out and even though my maladies may not be as serious as yours,,,I feel your pain.
Beautiful gun.

Thanks Mike
Doc says if I lose a bunch of weight & start eating right, there is a good chance I can get back to normal
What ever that may be.. LoL  
Getting older is definitely not for wimps!   rlmao

The old Japanese "life and death are but the same" kinda helps me but then,,, there's no mention of airguns.
Now reading the book JAPANESE DEATH POEMS ,,,I can't recommend.

I won't look for it then Mike... LoL
