    The sight can be tight at first which is a good sign .It shows its not been on off a 1000 times & scope mounts haven't been over tight on the rail.

    Stocks come off easy, it might need a little tap if its stuck.

    It looks like there is some sort of sticky tape underneath the barrel where it meets the stock....

    The one I have does have some movement in the stock. Not really sure how you're supposed to get around that as they only have one retaining bolt which the action ends up pivoting on. Still very accurate though and it was quite fun trying to hit those spinners with just the front sight lol

    Hi, the rear sight on my Innova didn't want to move either.
    I gently tapped it with a small hammer and it came off nicely.
    Spent quite a few hours plinking with this .177 Mk1, I couldn't believe how accurate it is.
    Lovely gun. A bit of pumping yes, but it's perfect as summer is approaching and I need to get those biceps in good shape for the ladies.

    I’m not brave enough at the moment to force either the rear sight or the stock in case I damage anything....I did try a gentle tap on the sight with hammer and a piece of wood but no joy..
    I would be gutted if I broke anything.

    You could try to use a bit of WD40 first. If you want to use a scope, then you could also unscrew the peep sight plate, so that only the base of the open sight is left. That will probably give you enough space for the scope.

    I took my Fenman to a boinger bash, After 30 mins my arm was almost dropping off, I put a pellet through the Combro, It was doing 18ft lbs

    I immediately removed the action and the rear plug, Gave the valve a few taps, Turned out to be a few taps too many and it was shooting at 8Ft lbs

    Had to buy a darned pump as I was to wimpy to connect the 300bar cylinder!!

    I pumped it up with the stirrup pump some time later and me flipping Combro packed in but it seemed to be way over the top so I let some air out again, I think it's about as powerful as a worn Webley Senior now!

    It stays in the gunroom now just looking pretty!!
