There's a gun on the table.
It's slightly tilted here.
Retracted probe. It's a .177.
The Handle. When you lift this up and pull it backwards, the rifle is miraculously cocked.
An overview of the Action.
And another one. Note the scope, it's a 2.5 x 20 from Gamo. But I like this type of scope.
With Endcap.
Without Endcap.
This tells you when you can go to the pub. When it reaches zero, you can go to the bar and get yourself a nice cool glass of beer.
Terrific carving here.
From the other side.
And another one for the road.  |

Well, you can get a lot more, but I don't need it. I can put a FAC spring in one of these, but why would I? 12 Fpe will do alright past 25 yards, and I mostly only shoot within that range.
It's not that much of a monster either, it's not heavy, the balance is perfect, it's not hold sensitive, it's cocking action is super smooth... What can I say, this is just a REALLY GOOD rifle. Rather boring actually.
Comparing this to a Crosman Disco is just a big laugh. The quality is just triple A (for Awesome). From other researchers I've read that I can get 70 good shots. My Future Disco is going to be a .25 powerhouse to be fired from a tank. |

DR, Chronosessions are on it's way. I hope I can get my hands on this one on Sunday, maybe sooner.
I'll do a review tonight. I'll try and make pics with my dads camera. It sucks.  |

broom....
PLEASE do a complete shot string, recording every shot down to 90% of the maximum velocity.... If you do, I'll even type the data into Excel and graph it for you if you can't....

Beautiful! (The gun, that is).
BTW - is it common in The Netherlands to put electrical outlets half way up the wall? Here they're closer to the floor. |

| Try plugging your (american) toasters into one of those outlets. Watch it explode. |

Been thinking about it, but this just looks better. And I don't have any money right now.

Working on it! My buddy Jan, who owns a Chrono Meter has his graduation party tonight, so I guess he won't be of any use today, and tommorow.

Thanks, it really is. I scratched it yesterday. I was taking some measurements and then it slipped a bit so there's a little scratch at the end of the barrel. The action has a little scratch to, the rest is flawless. And this is a used gun. I already did more damage to it then the previous owner.
About them outlets, over here we're always thinking about the children. That's basically why they're halfway up.

Why don't you try a Dutch toaster in your outlet.

Okay, you guys got me, it's a scam! There are actually no outlets here, we have wireless power.

Nice to see someone is posting a bit of European quality on this forum, makes a change from pressed tin and plastic.
A beautiful piece of kit Anton, but it definitely needs a better scope. How are you filling it pump or tank?
Anyway what’s next a Weihrauch HW100?
