I have come to the conclusion that at the price new you are better off using it for 12 months and buying a new one when it starts playing up. I am right in assuming one gets a 12 month guarantee on a new one? I think the design is weak and once it starts giving problems it is at the end of its useful life. At least we wont have to buy spare magazines as well. Mine was secondhand and well used when I bought it so never really got the chance to use it properly before I sent it to Brocock for repair. Didnt last 5 minutes when I got it back. Shame cos I like it
