    gas ram help!

    I wonder if there is someone out there that can help me with this....

    I picked up a very nice .22 Fenman the other day but its running at a very low 6.5fpds! I dont have an adapter or a hand pump (i use a 3l 300bar tank for my pcp's)

    Is there anyone local to me Haywards Heath area that knows about Theobens. not expecting a ''freebe'' and it might be a good time to service it ?

    Tb1500 something is the serial number and it doesn't look like its ever been taken apart before.

    Anyone...

    Is it very easy to cock.... ?
    If so, might just need a pump. If not, might be the seal...
    Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.

    Well, if you get stuck I have the means to pump it up, but I'm about an hour from you...

    Saying that Jon, its not as east to cock as my HW97k? but i presume it shouldn't be due to its barrel being 10 inch to the pivot point, it still feels ''easy'' to cock and i am not a body builder its a little like a compound bow being hard at the beginning and then easier at the end!

    How hard is it to get a service kit for one? and what would one cost do you recon?

    high end springers (and gas rams) are new to me as i have always had pcps apart from my first guns and a repetitively recent TX200SR my dad has a fenman in .20 and it felt a lot harsher than this

    Hi i did test it over a chrono, its 6.5fpds i would rather not buy a pump as its not like i have loads of theobens and prob only need to use it once. I would rather buy someone a drink and use theirs or pay for it to be serviced locally if there are any theoben boffins in Sussex area...?
