Gamo compact or PR15

[Arightplinker]

Information required please. I have just brought a Gamo pistol advertised as a Compact,it had a small leak so i phoned BSA and ordered some new seals. What i received today was a pistol and breech seal. So i dismantled the pistol and found the piston internals to be different. So i checked the compact parts diagram and BSA have sent me the correct bit, so after a seach on the net i find a Gamo PR15-1a version and the internals are the same.
So what have i got a compact or a pr15-1a?
Whilst it is a nice pistol and in good condition is this as good as the compact?
is it the same value etc?

Hope this is not to confusing.

The PR-15 is a nice pistol, it also shoots bb's. I would say the Compact is the better pistol, very accurate and nice to shoot.

Mine looks like a compact has the walnut grips and the adjustable trigger, just has the pr151a internals, so i assume this could be an early compact????
Only reason i make this assumption is because the pr15 internals changed to the same as the compact.

Could it be a PR 45 ?
I used to have one,very accurate i think it was the model between the PR15 and the Compact.

Could be a PR45 but the details i have downloaded for the PR45 show the internals the same as the compact and they have different grips and trigger i thinks.
