    The dragon is easy to reseal if you have ever worked on your own rifles. Just needs a very methodical approach. Its a complicated rifle but nice to work on

    Dragon

    Mint examples are nice but they must work ..the problem with these is they deteriorate with lack of use . Hence why the advice to oil up with mineral oil . Once stood in a shop after a travel to see one - the firing valve had stuck solid ..no amount of charging or pumping . Scrap .

    Best advice for these is to store them nose-down so the oils stay where they need to be. I fired mine for the first time in a couple of years yesterday and it worked like a treat. Enormously heavy lump but works brilliantly
