Hopefully one of you learnerd folk will be able to help me out with this.
I am thinking of getting a Crosman 1377, and wondered whether to get a new one for £95, or a phase 1 model for £80 from Freeads: -

I don't know enough about them to know if the brass barrel band is a good thing, or does it raise suspicions of hidden problems. Also the missing front grip screws caught my eye.

The thought of renovating something has it's appeal, having done a couple of projects, but does this have 'money pit' written all over it?

Cheers,

Mark.
