Nothing very exciting, but i have got a 717 on the way to me its GWO, and needs  a little work on the finish which is very easy on these, M.  :)

I had one of these a few years ago bought off one of the forums for £60 I think

I wasnt expecting much but was pleasantly surprised at how nice it was to shoot. The loading procedure was a bit of a faff but otherwise it was difficult to fault

I've hummed and arrrred a few times over one of these, but never got around to getting one.

Maybe one day.

I am, however, told these are a pleasure to shoot and perform better than you would think.

You'll have to post before and after pictures, and talk us through how you touched up/redid the finish.

Kind regards,

For an inexpensive air pistol they are surprisingly accurate and a pleasure to shoot. Also, easy to work on.

OK fella's point taken its just that i've been looking out for a more up market pistol current prices i think are to high. I've owned one before, & a 747  their ok pistols, something to play with in the short term, & was very inexpensive, M. :)

I've decided to put this in the "one day bin!", it is Very accurate but the trigger is to heavy for my taste, and needs major engineering to make it lighter, M. :!:

A quick polish of mating surfaces, a light oil, and possibly a trigger shoe should help.

Kind regards,
