Thanks yeh a stainless tube would indeed finish it of nicely. Where can I get one? and more importantly how much.
I shot it for the first time at the weekend, I still have to sort the breach and I also found a couple more small problems. The trigger seems to have developed a clicking sort of feel and it has a very slow leak Thankfully im pretty sure I know the cause of the problems and they should be easy to fix.
On the plus side I was pleasantly surprised with the power, accuracy and shot count I must have got at least 50 shots at around 5-6ftlbs and grouping at 10 yards was about the same size as a penny with the first tin of pellets I grabbed from the pile which happened to be RWS CO2 target. The only other things to note are it seems to be a little light up front and the barrel has a tendency to flip a little.
I might get to post some groupings after I fix it.
