i'm probably gonna get laughed out of town here , but is the beeman p17 really as bad as its made out ?
all UK reviews seem to just call it a bag of poo whereas nigh on all U.S. reviews say its great
if you were to buy 1 & straight out of the box , strip it , de-burr the inlet hole , lube up all o-rings & piston , would it still be so bad ?
just curious as it appears to be the quietest pistol i can find with a reasonable price tag & if i'm to do any plinking in the garage then it has to whisper as the oh has some of her rabbits in there & the constant pop from a springer or co2 would scare em to death & subsequently result in my testicles being removed & dangled from the washing line
also how comes it costs 3 times the U.S. price over here ? another government tax on anything remotely enjoyable no doubt
