Are springers stuck in the 80s?

[look no hands]

It just doesn't have the resistance of say, an old school HW77 detent. I would like more resistance!

I came across a 25-round 50 yard still-air group I shot with that ProSport of yours, by golly it was accurate. I will spec it up when I get hold of some vernier calipers.

And you got rid of it

If I remember correctly didn't the early 77 have a sliding type catch underneath?

I know, I was a fool. Pity the fool!

The Mk 1 had a ball-bearing on a spring. Classy, huh? The Mk II and Mk III (I think that is as far as the 77 got before the 97 arrived) have a sliding catch.

To be fair, only the MK2 has the awkward sliding thumb catch. After that, it's a push button on the end.

God, I'm going to have a look at the old iron...

To be fairer (), the sliding catch is very good once you get used to it. Having had my 77k from new all those years ago I find it no problem.
Underlevers popping down? Yes ... have known an Airsporter with that problem and a Prosport.
Cheers, Phil

In both cases that's just a small spring that needs sorting.
