    Watch out for the little seal on the loading gate thing. On the one I had, it had swollen up and the balls were tight going through it, which resulted in the dangerous thing of pulling the trigger and the ball coming out eventually after the pressure built up enough to gradually push the ball through the seal. I couldn't find an seal to fit so made one from leather then sized the hole so the ball could go through ok. After a couple of shots it was fine.

    Thinking back, It may actually be plastic although I thought it was monkey metal! (Not sure where it is to find out!)



    I think the bottom is Mazak and the top plazzie!!



    The dents!!

    They seem to defy the laws of physics. A bb hit the end of a tin can and come back twice as fast as it went down!
    I sent mine to Lawrie after I had a look at it and made up the seal for the gate.I didn't like the gun. I never stripped the trigger. I didn't fancy my chances of getting that housing apart and back together. I guess they never did spares for these?
