I had been waiting on seals for a couple of months, they arrived on Thursday so I spent most of Friday at it, obviously it hadn't been used for a long time and everything needed a good clean and lube but it's a nice thing to work at.
First shots with it today, just adjusting the stock and trigger as i went, i don't really know what im doing with 10m rifle, i was happy keeping them all in the black (just about), lots to learn but lots of fun.



I will run a tin of pellets through it to let it settle down and then chrono it but it feels like its all ok, what sort of velocity should i be looking for ?

Buinger had the seals and grease, the only part i need is the little damper for the cocking lever, the original had disintegrated, anybody any idea if they are available ?





Stock is a bit tatty, not too bad, i haven't decided if i will have a go at refinishing it or leave it alone.
No major dents, it's mostly small dents in the finish or the finish flaking.
Anybody refinished one ?



The front sight is 16mm and the insert is 4.4mm, are inserts available ?
4.4mm seems ok but i wouldn't mind trying a little larger.
