    I'm sure saw a .25 RB2 advertised on here a while back...
    Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.

    Have just removed the silencer,( not a fan on springers)plus it added about 5inch to barrel length.
    It was bonded on so a bit of gentle heat and it slipped of.
    The blueing under neath is perfect so happy at that.
    I found a front sight in my drawer and a protector cover and fitted it and it has transformed the look, but haven't Fired it since.
    Have most of a rear sight so will fish about tomorrow for some more bits.
    It has made the cocking harder as now cocking with hand behind forsight so about 3 inches difference in leverage.
    A nice handling sexy looking rifle on a par with the mk1 airsporter

    HI John,

    The original came with a plastic cocking aid of the type usually associated with the Scorpion air pistol, so finding one of these should make the cocking effort a little easier.

    Kind regards,

    John
