    Gamo R77 2.5 inch revolver

    Bought this (https://photos.app.goo.gl/qP2dhfS9Ej9KR8bPA) from @Josie & John recently with a leak. Luckily after a rebuild it all works perfectly and I managed to try it out at the range today with good results.

    Rested:

    Also loaded it with extra weight to bring it up to be similar to a S&W model 36. Technically it is closer to a model 50 which has the adjustable rear sight; also known as the 'Chief's Special Target Model'.
    Too many guns, or not enough time?

    I'm delighted you were able to resurrect this classic, as well as a tad jealous to see those results!

    Currently looking for Baikal Makarov pistols with the following prefixes to the serial number: 98, T01, T09, T21, T22
    Prefer boxed or cased but will consider loose examples too.

    I still have and use the 4" model that I bought new in the 1990's which still works well and is pretty accurate. The gas seems to last for ages. Great little pistols which were well ahead of their time in my opinion.
