    These Make about 25 ft.lbs of ME in the US. Looks like the down tuning has been a litle too agressive.

    Got a couple days off work now so might try and do a search, Try and skan it later or at least the next day or so.

    Its a rifle Never the less it isn't a good rifle. Not really worth spending money on.
    You can spend thousands and still miss a barn door or spend just enough and enjoy yourself. If you haven't got the talent to start with a million pound won't fix it. Whippet, Russell, a few bang sticks and a flat cap. http://www.smart-tech1st.co.uk

    If the guts of these are Chinese built you may find poorly fitted piston seals compromising power.

    Beg pardon, thought it was the pistol of the same name.

    These are are BAM19's (SMK XS19). You will need a top hat, spring guide and stepped block that fits between guide and rear metal end block. If you like the look of the thumbhole stock and shrouded barrel on the Benjy, it would probably be cheaper to pick up a tatty XS19 and swap the action. The barrel diameter on the Benjy is slightly smaller than the XS19, so the shroud won't fit over it
