With the simple iron sights she gave me about 1-1/4" groups at 35 yards. You guys can chalk me up for a starling too- it died of lead poisoning at 40 yards, the pellet went straight through. The bird sitting on the top branch fell straight down and I saw the now slow moving pellet for a second in the sky. _________________ "I never set out to be wierd, it was always everyone else who called me it" -Frank Zappa Speed is impressive, accuracy is deadly.

That is also a newer model, it doesn't have the thumb-rocker safety, meaning it was made by Crosman. The foregrip/pump arm is also the new shape, mine is straight. Actually, I have a feeling that is a 392/397 down there. _________________ "I never set out to be wierd, it was always everyone else who called me it" -Frank Zappa Speed is impressive, accuracy is deadly.

I just pump it... It dumps about 14 and keeps one left. EDIT: I tested it and put 25 in at once, it dumped about 15. They must not be made like they used to now. _________________ "I never set out to be wierd, it was always everyone else who called me it" -Frank Zappa Speed is impressive, accuracy is deadly.

I really think that she was built to last. She holds 2 pumps of air for many months without a problem (haven't stored for longer). We are talking about a classic thumb-rocker safety, so she is old. _________________ "I never set out to be wierd, it was always everyone else who called me it" -Frank Zappa Speed is impressive, accuracy is deadly.

Didn't I say that she went 35 yards, through 1/4 of pine, then 15 more yards and left a nice dent in some sheet metal. I set up some old water bottles that are shaped more like cylinders, about a foot tall. Sent a pellet sailing through the whole length (put the bottle on its side) full of water. This is at 30 yards. EDIT: Judging from the dent in the metal, the pellet was still moving straight, not tumbling. _________________ "I never set out to be wierd, it was always everyone else who called me it" -Frank Zappa Speed is impressive, accuracy is deadly.

The stock on mine is in about 70% and I would like to strip-sand-stain-finish her up real nice. _________________ "I never set out to be wierd, it was always everyone else who called me it" -Frank Zappa Speed is impressive, accuracy is deadly.

Yep, Just tap out the two roll pins with a drift punch.Its best to do this across your lap/legs.When putting them back in taper the lead edge on the roll pin so it slides in better and helps guild it into the metal pump arm hole..
