Picked up a lovely little 24 last night and have looked it over and put some shots through it.
Its a nice simple basic design but one which oozes quality. Its lock up is reassuringly positive n solid. Its breech jaws are mated well. Its external finish is good. The trigger is not the best but is certainly more than equal to any gun in this price bracket (or the bracket it used to be in).
This being a 1985 model the compression tube diameter is 25mm. This equates to a firing cycle that is very sweet n soft. Hardly recoiless but very soft indeed and refreshingly different to full power springers. Haven't chrono checked it yet but power seems in region of expected 6 ft llbs.
All in all a very pleasant 80s throwback.
