I agree that it is a better pistol and better built than the others. It is capable of good accuracy and is only a single stroke pneumatic. My basic problem is that the material it is made from is crappy.

If that link does not work I suppose someone else will put it up. The point trying to make here is that heard of quite a few of the 717's having the holes stretched in the castings because somebody has wound the piston up (or maybe it's done it it'self?). Yes ---I know Webley Hawks etc can have the cylinder pin holes stretched because some chimp has fitted a monster spring.

I reckon if you tried to buy a set of the Daisy frames from somebody over here that it would cost more than the 2nd hand price of the gun?
