    Hello from the uk's most easterly town

    Just a quick on to say hello to you all, and tell you a bit about me, have been shooting for almost as long as i can remember, but only have i recently got back into shooting air rifles, having previously mainly being a full bore shooter with the odd bit of clays, wildfowling, and the occational pheasant day for good measure.

    Already had a bit of a look around the forum and theres some good content there, so thankyou to all that contribute, hopefully in time i will be able to offer my input of my experiances too.

    Hi Duke, welcome to the forum.
    Generally, if the rifle's in good nick the air cylinder will be too so I shouldn't worry too much, just have a good inspection of the rifle and if worried & in any doubt don't buy it.
    If it's from a gun shop then you'll have some recourse anyway so can buy with a bit more confidence than with a private sale.
    Try and take your mate or someone who knows a bit about PCP's with you if find one you really like the look of.
