    The OJMAR Fenix...

    The latest edition to the collection, well actually not quite as I'm working through a backlog...

    Strange one, Jimmie. I always think it's odd to see an airgun that has obviously been made quite cheaply, eg. from pressings, which has nice hand-chequered wood grips. A sign of a tiny production run, methinks.

    Strange indeed. I was drawn to this one though. Not just because I've not seen one before but I liked the grip and the chequering despite the hashup. The pistol seal needs to be replaced. But before I can do that, I have to drill out one of the holding screws for the end cap. Then I think I will make a leather washer, cut it on the radius to fit it in place, then try to super glue the cut. That might save me from cutting the piston rod which would inevitably lose length and might be just as bad as not having a piston seal at all.

    I particularly like the rake of the heel of the grip - it's a nice touch.
