    I'm afraid I've no idea how to put pictures on here. The gun was originally Venom tuned but never was accurate. I now have an SFS action in that stock with a shortened barrel, long silencer and a chambers two stage trigger. It's simply excellent now. The venom action is still in a shed cosmeticaly rough but super smooth. I think it's just a poor barrel on that one. If someone can instruct me on how to append a picture to a post I'll put one on here. Please don't direct me to one of the hosting sites. I'll never work it out!

    The gun is very accurate. The original action would never group I'm sure the original action's full length barrel was duff: pellets, even proper wasps, dropped about 5mm into the breech.

    This short barrelled action is very sweet to shoot and groups well with JSBs.

    I had a Tasco 4 x 40 on the for a while and an Edgar Brothers 2-7 x 32 clone of the Tasco AG of the same spec. I found it very easy to shoot FT knock downs out to 30 yards standing. It is a .22. I've got another scope coming soon so one of the above will go back on the Vulcan.

    Still have my .177 Vulcan mk1, barrel was chopped to carbine length and a muzzle brake put on it @1990, had a tune done then and although I don't shoot it much today it still gets @11ftlb. One problem I had with mine was the barrel slipping back in the breech block so I would lose air at the breech seal. Ended up having to press it back in place and then use the two rear sight holes with grub screws tightened down on the barrel to keep it in place works ok. I remember when I got this thing it was the first nice springer I owned. Glad I still have it!
