    ASI repeater

    Hi, wondered if anybody might be thinking of selling a wood stocked version of these. Complete preferred but might consider a sightless one or one that needs tidying up. If you have something you think might be suitable I'd be happy to hear from you,
    cheers

    Worked on a lot of these for the RFD but never seen a wood stock one, they must be quite rare ?

    I've no idea how many we're made/ sold but I'd say I've definitely seen more ASI/ el Gamo Paratrooper repeaters than woodstocked versions. Guess they were the ones that appealed & sold. Never know what might be around, so fingers crossed.

    Think they were called the asi sniper repeater if that helps.

    Well I have searched the net and cant find any reference or pics of a wood stock paratrooper. As mentioned before I have repaired quite a few of these and they all had plastic stocks and hand grips, even the one my RFD has for sale at the moment is plastic. These rifles were never very good on power due to the long transfer port caused by the sliding pellet feeder. You would think they would put out a lot of power when you take out the 40 coil spring. Most other rifles have 29 to 34 coils.
