    Hi you can always put a rifle stock back on it and use it as a carbine, you would be ok with that.

    320 fps with 0.177 8.2 grain pellet. 1.9 ftlbs if my calculation is correct... Pretty feeble for a pistol, let alone an ex rifle....

    Before getting too excited, love the gun by the way, please check the regs. It is OK to fit a stock to a pistol and make it a carbine provided the power is left below 6fps but I am pretty sure there is a rule that says once a rifle, always a rifle so be careful with the new spring and washers. Personally as an interseting old gun, I would leave it alone, low power and all.

    Stripped and cleaned it. Similar design piston to a Gem ie no leather seal, just a close fit steel piston. No plans to modify. It's a bit of history. Shame it got cut down but still fun. Completely inaccurate. Partly the low power but mainly that it no longer has a front sight :-)
