I had the similar wood stock Model 1 for a few years. The naughty previous owner had it shooting over the limit and I had to get him to turn it down. That was nice enough. Should have kept it. Despite the wood stock that thin allow clamshell receiver will never give them "bombproof solidity" that the Sheridans, Benjamins, Setras, Crosman 140 and Sharp Ace and Victory had, though.
