Ally,
I thought that I was the "one" refered to by Davestate in his first reply. I'm all in favour of the S16, I bought one on looks alone, had an initial problem which was most likely caused by me using the wrong lube - Simmons sorted it out and I've have more than a year of trouble free airgunning since. It helps if your on the large side as most people say that the S16 is built for gibbons. If you get it, read the manual, follow its advice and if you do come across something out of the ordinary, ask for help before trying to fix it yourself.

HTH
