    You will enjoy playing with that - they are really nice under-rated pistols now back in demand again due to the MPL.

    Under lever and Under rated - thats the Centre!

    We just have to buy these two GAMO pistols and get them into action in the MPL as fast as possible!

    The grip on the Centre may be repairable - if not, then its out with the penknife, find a suitable piece of wood and start carving as there are no spare grips available.

    Does anybody know where we can find a rear sight assembly for the Falcon?

    Since we re-discovered just how good the GAMO pistols perform, we have a sudden resurge of interest in finding more of these old pistols and bringing them back to an active life in the MPL each month!

    Good find on the prices.

    I recently picked up some late 70s Airgun Worlds, and do like looking at the adverts for prices.

    Good idea on picking up the other Gamos, but probably need to negotiate the price down a little due to the repairs required.

    Kind regards,

    My Centre is presently residing in Johns hands after he gave us all a demonstration tonight at the R.M.T.C. how a recoiling springer can produce score for the M.P.L. that would put a match pcp to shame.
    Having recently worked on a couple of Centres he knows the pistols ins and outs and hes now working his magic on mine. I suggest that the tunning, the RMTC equivalent of a Venom rifle tune, could be called a 'Snake Spit' pistol tune and he could corner the market on El Gamos finest.

    Cheers John.

    John shot well with my rebuilt GAMO last night - deservedly reaping the benefits of his labour.

    It was a real eye opener and just goes to show what can be possible with these cheap little pistols that can still be picked up for very modest sums of cash.

    The MPL gives them a new lease of life for those that can get to grips with a "kicker".
