I have a vgc .22 and it does exactly what you say Hsing.
Not modded as far as I am aware.
Hello. Sorry to jump on an old thread. I've just been offered a 335 with the foresight missing down on the south coast. Good condition and running at 8ft lbs. I wondered if was vy coincidence it was the same gun.
I bought one in 177 from a gunsmith over a year ago for about £230 (if I can recall), with its sights intact. Ok, this was a little above the price range on this site but it was from a gunsmith and, moreover, these rifles do not come up regularly. I was therefore content to pay a little over the odds for a good workable model in very good condition.
Mine is a Mk1. The Mk2 has the cocking bolt at an angle to the barrel, whereas on the Mk1, it is parallel to the barrel. I do not know if the difference is of any significance in use. Others here might advise.
The other difference was with the sights, where the Mk 2 rear sight introduced a wheel instead of the sliding scale.
I wonder what pellets, for 177, owners prefer?
Kind rgds
