    As always we are Rip Of Britain as they are only £45 in Poland and £66 delivered from there + £25 bank transfer fees

    Thoughts please guys
    I am waiting to see if the German gun site -degun does them if so they will be legal for uk and cheaper then uk prices ,postage from them is £17 for total order .
    a gun is just a tool how its used is dependant on the person behind the trigger .
    This is why constant restrictions on legal users will have no effect on the unlawfull use of guns or knives !

    160 mps equates to 4.8ish ftlbs.

    I would suggest that to get anything like 17J out of that length of barrel in .177 with co2 is going to involve changing the laws of physics.

    I'm not saying it's 17j, it's likely the polish site has made a cockup with that figure and was meant to be 7j possibly? Even still, 160m/s is a lot for .22 in a pistol format, hopefully that figure is based on using very light pellets

    Edit: apologies, your 160m/s was referring to .177

    Beware of buying from Eastern Europe a load of guys on the custom crosman site did a group purchase, and that was the last of their money they saw.

    Why bother....?
    Because this pistol is far better quality than than the Crosmans by a country mile, that's why. No plastic, no creaks, no slop. Excellent finish and engineering . You would never guess it is made in China .well worth the asking price imho.

    + 1 for that I have a few crosmans and as much as I like the older vintage models there is no comparison even though the 2200 models can be modified widely .

    That's a cautionary tale for certain, it's always going to be one of those "is it worth a punt" gambles, but with these prices all that is needed is for to people that have risked it to share their individual experience and we could all benefit - after all you would think a shop would love the opportunity of getting a big chunk of business thrown their way.

    Picked my .22 mode;l up on Thursday last. Quality is exceptional, it dose put the offerings from Crossman to shame and I own a lot of the 22 series The accuracey is excellent and the only crticism I can level is maybe some stipling on the grip would be nice, just my observation. Well worth the price.

    I tried one in my local shop and the trigger guard is too small for me and has sharp edges which cut into my fingers. The trigger has a long creepy release. apart from that it looked really good.
