I'm not knocking multipumps I was just wondering if a lot had ended up being scrapped due to worn out linkages, pins and pump seals ?

I used to hunt with a Setra in the early 1980s and still have it along with a few other multipumps I've picked up along the way, including, Bluestreak, Silverstreak, 3 Crosman 140s, Titan Mohawk single stroke, Titan Mohawk 2 stroke, Daystate Sportsman MK 2, 2 Crosman 1300s, about 12 Crosman 1322/77s and a Chinese multipump thingy.



All the best Mick
They definitely do wear out if you decide that if the recommended max 8 or 10 pumps are good, then 12 or more must be better. Many did/do.

Equally if lateral pressure is applied during cocking.

And while the old school Sheridans etc are pretty bomb-proof, the clamshell Crosmans and the plastic-receiver Innovas are quite fragile.
