    Hi Shed tuner - I know just how you feel - Mine's a .22 one found last year that was leaning up in a shed with some timber - probably undisturbed for 20 years.
    It looked like a relic with a thick layer of dust and built up crud on it and missing the open sights.

    Fortunately it was a dry shed, as it cleaned up lovely, with most of the blue remaining and appeared never to have been shot much. I had some aperture sights for a Meteor so they went on. Its the most fun with an airgun I've had in years.

    Hi Les

    It is quite a nice old thing but I can't get my thumb through the hole!! I must be getting a bit plump or something!!!!

    By the way, When I bought it the rearsight and safety had been removed for some reason and were in a small plazzie bag, I thought i'd put them on, There was a long screw and a short screw- I put them in wrong, The long screw I put in the safety blocked the passage of the long hammer and snapped it clean off!!, One flipping shot and it was Kaput!!

    I had a running search on fleabay for a Buccaneer trigger and a Scorpion trigger, Eventually one turned up and I won it!!, I put it back together with the correct screw in the safety and all's well!!!

    That is a possibility, a long time ago, but I can't say for sure as I've bought several over the years, and also have the Shadow Trooper version as well.
