I agree that Superdomes and FTT's work very well , although I've found Bisley Practice work at least as good as these in my .22 45's. Crosman Premiers worth a try.
As far as bent barrel syndrome is concerned, none of my 45s have been thus afflicted.
Hope you enjoy your time with the 45. Ive always found them hard to beat.

I personally find the build quality on old 45s equal and in some regards above that of current Diana guns. Not everyone would agree there but having been inside a few of them I think the good old 45 has much ton commend it.
I've shot.mine for a few years now and I've never personally suffered from the bendy barrel issue. Wouldn't like to say it can't happen if a cortina axle spring is shoe horned inside there but that's another story.
I second the FTTs and Superdomes on pellet choice in either calibre. Can't vouch for .20 though

The Kassnar if in good nick £50, the moderator £30, and the mounts?? So you have a free rifle.
The Original 45 was the rifle that brought about the HW80 and 77 as it was superior in most ways to the HW35E.
Good may sold, a good many still about. The crack in the stock just fix as best you can, as finding a replacement might be as difficult as finding your first bargain 45. There was a FT carbon/fibreglass stock made for the Original 45. Someone a few years back was selling the last few.

Great rifle to shoot.

Nice gun, nice job !
Now why can't I drop on a deal like that ?

You'll be doing it with a vintage Telecaster next !
