Is it possible a previous owner "cleaned" the plastic with T-Cut?
I know that dissolves some plastics over time.
I've had an INDIAN air pistol sitting on the wall of my toy room since 1998.
Took it down for a shoot and found the"black stuff"-plastic,forming vital parts,has deteriorated.In fact the gun stuck to my hands and made them all black!
This gun won't last 50 years without quite a bit of 'modding"!

I've had since new...it is #270...dated 1997. I suppose 16 years isn';t bad.

Is it a Cometa Indian? I've had one for getting on for ten years and it's fine at the moment...
seen this sort of thing happen to interior plastic trim on cars..cheers..greasemonkey
more guns than you can shake a stick at!
Seems like you got one of the new EU approved eco-friendly biodegradable airguns.
You reminded me that I have one of them. Mine is as good as when bought (forget when) but kept in it's plastic case.
